'£/ Writes the London correspondent or i i Sydney contemporary:—Every woman who comes to London knows, before long, Barker's of Kensington. Round about Barker's, everyday and all day long, is as great a swarm of feminine shoppers and as mighty a swirl of incomers and outgoers for whom Barker's is the focus-point of their excitement, as could be seen anywhere in London. Barker's is on High Street, Kensington, where also, a few score yards away, is the house of Derry and Tom?, no less famous and scarcely less popular. Barker's is a great emporium, where almost anything can be bought. Henceforth Derry and Toms and all that is therein may also ba bought at Barker's. For Barker's have bought out Deny and Toms, swallowed them in one mighty gulp, and adding them into itself. Derry and Toms are names so well known in London that the mere mention of them conjures up the picture of their heavily-laden windows and their great array of highclass _ drapery. It is 'of such class, in truth, and the business generally is at such a level that Barker's have had to pay more than £500,000 to buy them out. Negotiations, we are told, have been going on these two years past. They are now at an end, and the comibaned eMa.blisihments will be one great house of business employing 5000 people, while all sorts of schemes are afoot for so extending the shopping facilities at this part of London that the already existing 50 large windows ■ of Barker's and Derry and Toms will enclose but a small portion of the (roods on sale in the Royal Boroujh of Kensington, and upon the High Street thereof. It is a big deal. 'The next in point of magnitude was one made some time ago in the West End. when i another great, draperv business changed i ownership for £480,000.
