TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME.

It seams scarcely credible that.:such a genuine and wond6'*ful sale car., possibly take place as that which starts this morning a.t the Economic. ; Dress muslins, previously marked 7}d. and Did.,"now 3d. and 4Jd. per yard! ' This moans that, one can procure a dainty summer frock at threo and four shillings. Of beautiful quality are the French cambrics, in all colours, striped and spotted, which were priced'at lljd. and are now Bsd. White, muslin robes, with the: latest cut skirt, daintily tucked, and trimmed with Swiss embroidery, previously 295. 6d., now 235. 6d. Imagine fancy prints, in delicate colours, that were 7}d., being now 3Jd. And cambric and pongee prints, worth 9£d., now 4Jd. per yard. There are delightful robe lengths in flora) bordered muslin, all in soft pastel tones, at 9s. lid. and 12s. 6d. However poor one is, they can now procure fresh, pretty gowns for tho hot days ahead at almost nothing. Summer flannel and tweed costumcs, in Eton and swing-backs, striped 'or checked, usually marked 355., now 19s. 6d. Cambric blouse costumes, once 17s. 6d. and 19s. 6d., can now bo purchased at 12s. Cd. I saw privately all these goods yesterday afternoon, and marvelled at the genuineness of this phenomenal sale. i The cream sergo costumes are exceptionally smart, and beautifully cut, previously marked G9s. 6d., now 395. 6d., and as there is only a small assortment of these, I may hint that one must needs be an early bird to procure the bargains. ' It looked so comical as I moved about inspecting the. bargains to see the yellow coverings over the prizes, and I was compelled to lift and peep. Gloves in all shades and splendid qualities hung upon the lines remarkably tempting.

In tho imdorlinen department, quantities of soft feminino apparel lay ready for sale. The most delicato of nightgowns and chemises, the former at 2s. lid., the latter at 3s. 6d., both in .nainsook. Smocked knee combinations in merino arc to bo sold for ss. lid.,- and tho white India gauze aro but 3s. 3d. Only a small number of tho letter aro offered. A great rush is anticipated for bargainhunters aro over rampant, and the Economic has long been renowned for the honesty of its sales, and with the calm, bright weather of yesterday a multitudinous throng is expected. . The windows aro dressed temptingly, each article being plainly marked. Bright and delicate lines and baskets rf flowers lend vivid splashes horo and there; laces, ribbons, and all tho newest novelties in neck and waist wear are marked ridiculously low. This is a mid-season sale, and as the warmest days are still before us, and all the holidays, now is the time to buy muslins and prints for light frocks. Nine and a half miles of Japanese silk! A veritable silken road-way; in many tones, at Is., Is. 6d., and Is. lid. yard. The taffetaline-ra substituto for glace silk —is marked at Is. 6d. per yard, and makes up beautifully; and chiffon taffetas, 40in. in,width,, are only ss. Jld. Tho satins are marvellous! All shades, rich and rare, at Is. 9d.' This sale—the result of Mr. Kersley's trip Home, and the assigned estate of A. H. AVinchester. and Co.—is the marvel of the season. Everything is to be sold.' Be early and takes the prizes!
