An extract from tho London “ Echo ” of the 14th September, 1870: — “ One of the most remarkable of trade fluctuations has just now occurred in the Silk Market. Within the Inst seven weeks tho price of Raw Silk has risen Eighty per cent. The whole of the South European Crop has suddenly failed, and this has mainly brought about the extraordinary rise.” In directing attention to the New Silk, comprising some most beautiful goods, W. S. & Co. beg to state that, having been manufactured previous to the late remarkable rise iu the price of raw silk (and which is still increasing), they have made extra largo purchases, anticipating a quick sale by offering them at Old Prices. Wo are this season introducing some entirely Now Fabrics in Dress ' and Costume Materials, which form exquisite combinations, having a most stylish effect. The firm respectfully mention that, owing to so many orders being received for Costumes, Faucy Dresses, &c., they have boon obliged to Enlarge their Workrooms, and, apologising for tho inconvenience many of their customers have been put to, they now hope to ho able to execute all orders given them with tho usual careful and prompt attention.
