War with Russia. — This is the fear now on all sides, and well it may be, because war ■would mean an advance in the prices of all articles of commorco. Eaton, however, is one who does not pay much heed to wars and rumours of wars, not even the whispers in the varioiis stores about the ■war ho is making with those who charge high and even extortionate prices for groceries in times of peace and plenty. Eaton is making war with the credit system by selling cheaply for cash. Here's ii proof. The same quantity of hot-house grapes sold in Q,ueen-street places of business at 2s a lb. he is offering at Is. Some people must make enormous profits. Eaton's motto is small profits and quick returns. A slow business would never suit his book There is now in stock fish of all sorts for Lent ; fine ripe fruit for table of cooking purposes ; groceries and provisions of all sorts. If you have not a pound note take a halfcrown next door to the Criterion Hotel and carry away a basketful. Trams pass the door.
