[Advertisement.] (to the editor.) Sir, — There are those m our midst who are complaining of the scarcity of money. Asked why this is so, they tell you it is mainly attributable to the low price of wool ; but even to this cloud there is a " silver-lining,'' for when the producer requires, to purchase those articles; into which his h-oo] is manufactured, he gets the benefit of a reduction proportionate to the decline m value of his staple. Now, whe c will this be more clearly shewn than m the pi ices at which I shall quit Cashmeres, Satin Cloths, Dross Goods, Flannels, Shirtings, Scotch and English Blankets, Rugs, &c, at my sale on Saturday. Yours. Qbedienijvj Joseph "Vivian, Auctioneer. FOR' SALE. ANEW Piano, by Cramer. For particulars apply at this office.
