In a London draper's shop money speaks. Every bargain day the proprietor advertises his prices in cash. Shoes that sell for 20s or 30e have notes to that amount protruding from the top of his show-window' 6hoes. Ten shilling blouses flaunt a 10s note for trimming, and halfcrown, two-shillings and shilling goods are garnished with half-crowns, florins, and shillings. Trade responds briskly to that kind of an advertisement. Messrs. E. Johnston and Co. will sell to-morrow, at 1.30 p.m.; in their rooms, furniture, carpets, etc. The members of the Commercial Travellers' Club for the past two weeks have been gathering second-hand clothing, etc., from their members and friends, and will hold a jumble sale in the Mission Hall, Taranaki-street, on Saturday at 2 o'clock. Quito a largo number of garments of all kinds have been collected. All arc in real good order, and the public is advised to come along early and secure excellent value.
