J. Cosgrave and Go. beg to inform the public that there is an entire revolution In dress, also in the prices of goods. It is necessary it should be so, as Auckland is not in the flourishing position it was twelve 'months ago ; it is like all goldfield cities, suffering under a recovery, the working classes are more numerous and money less plentiful. Therefore, the prices of drapery and clothing must come down to suit the times. The population must have clothing suitable for an almost tropical summer. J. Cosgrave and Go. have met the crisis, they have broken doionthe monopoly of large profits that have reigned here for years 2}ast. They are determined the people shall be clad and that cheaply ; a great chance was offered lately, the stock of a large importer of drapery was in the market, a discount off English cost was given, and J. Cosgrave. and Co. became the purchasers, hence our extensive and valuable sale of drapery takes place This Day. — [Advt.2
