Their surprise is increased when they enter a few of the busihoi's places in Pollen street, and notice t>e large etocks on hand, and that the prices of most of" the goods are far below what they have to pay in their own noble citj ; this is particularly the case at Mr GhiGG-'s Music Warehouso, as he imports all his goods direct from London, and being at little or no expense for warehouse room, can afford to, and does, sell them at prices unheard of in many other parts of New Zealand.—[Advt.J
