Messrs. T^Baddeley and Forking hold their usual fortnightly sales in Wanganuii and Waverdey this week. In another column Mr E. Ellery Gilbert has a special advertisement with reference to John Singer's pianos, piano tuning, and music generally. Messrs R. H. White and Oo.'s clearing sales, which are only held once in every season, are with the. distinct object of clearing out the balance of the season's goods at greatly reduced prices rather than hold them over.
