It is Hourly two years ago since James Patten amassed a huge fortune by cornering the vast wheat crops of the world, and since that time, wo, in this part of the universe have heard nothing of the like occurring again, so one can only come to the conclusion that the iron hand of President Taft lias been felt in that direction, as has the gigantic trusts of America. There has at times been ugly rumours of trusts, rings and corners in our Dominion, but after a thorough investigation by our Democratic Government, there has been nothing come of them. Wanganui is the latest centre where all eyes are turned in that respect at present, for it has become known that a corner has been made in ladies’ coats by McGruer and Co., the progressive drapers, but instead of being a menace, it is a benefit to the public and all are invited to investigate for themselves and he assured that by the 'prices these coats arc being sold at will hear out the aforementioned remark of being a benefit. They are being sold at less than half price, and there is enough of them to fit. and suit every lady in Wanganui in need of that portiou of her apparel.
