DRAPERY. GREAT SOCIAL CHANGES Have taken placd in the Commercial History of Dunedin. No such Goods for Quality and Price have ever been offered for Sale under the ordinary mode of importing as are now tb be had at the Favorite Establishment of J£IRKPAV RICK, GLENDINING, &CO. The general scales of prices of all kinds of Drapery, Silk Mercery, Carpets, Furnishing, and Clothing have been by their grand system altered and reduced. These very circumstances will so largely benefit the Purchasers as to amount to a great saving in their yearly expenditure. It is the opinion of countless observers, that such advantages as K. G. & Co. offer to Buyers, will appear more strikingly when seen than whenadvertised. Several shipments of Spring and Summer Drapery, Silk Mercery,gCarpets, Floorcloths, Furnishing, and Clothing, now on view in the undermentioned departments : SILKS— The demand is every day increasing for their celebrated Black Silks. The following excellent recommendation is that they keep the Best Silks that are made, and Silks that are warranted to wear by the manufacturers, Soper and Son, Spitalfields, and Bonnet et Cie, Lyons. Prices vary from 3s 6d to 14s per yard. SILKS— The greatest choice is here of Colored and Fancy Silk Dresses; and the greatest praise is that they are - good and cheap. They have got upwards of fifty shades of Plain and Colored Grosgrains and Glaces. Same variety of Selfcolored Corded Silk, from L 4 15s up : wards; Fancy Striped do, from 595; Figured and Broche do, from 80s j Wedding Silks, from 70s to 120s. IRISH POPLINS— As this very beautiful and durable Dress is increasing in popularity, they have imported direct from Dublin a larger stock than usual. MANTLES— . This department is famed for Mantlesj Jackets, Polonaises, and Capes. The bargains given season after season have created universal surprise. They are now showing the latest designs in Mantillas, Gapes, and Cuirasses. French Models copied at half-price. Any style made to order. Fit faultless, by Miss Cameron. UNDERCLOTHING— On the merits of this department ft may be truly said that they supply Chemises, Gowns, Petticoats, Drawers, Bodies, &c., &0., at less prioe than the materials could be procured at in Dunedin.

WARNINGS THAT MAY BE HEEDED. PRINTS— The great evil of the day is Prints, Cambrics, Brilliants, and Piques, that do not wash. This can be avoided by purchasing here, as they import only Hoyle’s, .Crum’s, and Koenig’s Goods—warranted fast colors. These narhes are a sure guarantee that the colors are perfection. FLANNELS— Another growing evil in the trade' is remedied in this department. K., G., and Co., do not keep that useless make of Flannel mixed with Cotton, and sold at 11| and Is Id per yard, but for little more money they give the best All-wool Real Welsh and Pure Saxony Flannels, warranted not to shrink in the washing. CARPETS— An Important Department in their Business. The best description of Brussels, Tapestry, Kidderminster, Scotch, and Felts only kept. Prices very moderate. FACTS FAIRLY AND FULLY STATED. READY-MADE - That in this branch of their business the Stock of Men’s and Boy’s Clothing from Melbourne, Bristol, London, and notably from their own Factory, is by far the Best and Cheapest in the Colony. In addition to the Regular Assortment, they have opened out during the week THIRTY MORE CASES, Thus offering the Largest Choice of GOOD CLOTHING IN THIS MARKET. TWEED— Juat received, a very Large Importation of most Beautiful and Durable Tweeds. Good Colonial, at 4s 6d j West of England, from 6s per yard. TAILORING— This Department is under the management of a really First-class Cutter of acquired taste, hence a good and stylish fit can be depended on, while the charges will be found much more moderate than those ,of any other "Tailoring Firms, in consequence of Small Profits i being the guiding principle of KIRKPATRICK.
