The Flannel Manufactories of North WaleS(, including Newtown, Montgomery, and Llanidloes, and taking advantage of the Liberal Discounts given by London and Manchester Warehonsemen, and the extra inducements held out to cash purchasers of large parcels, combined with a thorough knowledge of the requirements of j the Colonial Markets, and with a view meet the wholesa’e trade of this season, ship Mindora, having been selected as aaaat ship, for the salmon ova, to make a i passage. Failing this, I resolved sk once upon opening them up for Retail sale, and I take this opportunity of returning ray thanks to those Ladies who have favor/d me with their patronage in the small premises—at that time the only obtainable in a central position.
