Reference is made in the advertisement to aliened " lobbying of members on the part of brewers, and it is suggested that the result of it was tho "sitting tight" of some members.

Mrs. Male, of Lambton-quay, specialist in coats and skirts, has an announcement in this issue. In this issue appears a special advertisement from Kirkcaldie & Stains announcing the hi3t week of their winter sale, and dotailing 1 various lines thrown out for absolute clearance. The genuine character of the firm's sales is well known, and a busy week is looked forward to. Attention is directed to Wilkins & Field's advertisement in reference to the Ruby Primus cooking apparatus. Having purchased locally a consignment of book's, stationery, fancy goods, &c, very much below English wholesale prices, Messrs. Kirkcaldio & Stains announce their intention ol clearing these goods at (sensational prices, as these goods are not regularly stocked by them, and they have no intention of keeping a stationery department.

That all things in this life must oorao to an end soon or late is one of the truths daily borne in upon us. It is brought home to us in the present instance by tho announcement in to-night's Post that tho Grand Keorganising Sale which has drawn thousands of customers to spend their money frooly since the opening day, will closo, positively and absolutely, on Saturday, 30th July, at 10 p.m., which is thus advertised as the last day of tho sale at To Aro House. There being 110 hopo of an extension of the timo, in spite of the fact that daily crowds still throng tho warehouse, it only remains for our readers to make the most of tho opportunities remaining. For the last week special linos are advertised in our columns, and reminders are also given that every single article in the establishment is reduced in prico for this occasion. Therefore it behoves the prudent public to sliop early and often during tho lust week of the sale at Te Aro House. — Advt.
