Drapery. VICTORIA HOUSE. JM'DOWELL & CO., in accordance with their previous announcement, beg to inform o the inhabitants of Wellington and tho surrounding Provinces, that, in addition to the large parcels of consigned goods of which they have been declared the purchasers, they are in receipt of their shipments of Goods ex ships Star of India, via Melbourne, and Edinburgh Castle, to Wellington direct. This makes their third series of shipments for tho season, amounting as follows : — Via Melbottenb. Via Dunedin. Ship Avemore 29 Agnes Muir 11 Star of India 19 Christian M'Causland ... 6 Turkish Empire 21 DIEEOT TO WELLINGTON. Alhambra 14 England 43 — Loehlee 11 83 Edinburgh Castle 33 104 By the above list it- will be observed that our shipments for the season amount to ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVE N PACKAGES OF DRAPERY, CLOTHING, &c, Being by far the most extensive hitherto imported to Wellington by any retail house in one season. THE SOLE RE A SON WHY WE HAVE IMPORTED SO LARGELY THIS SEASON was owing to the inducement held out to our buyers by the unsottled state of the markets, in consequence of Continental difficulties, and TAKING- ADVANTAGE OF A FAVORABLE OPPORTUNITY, and buying largely. In many instances we h.-irc been enabled to save fifty per cent on former prices, or, in other words, to buy at HALF PRICE, and in no case less than TWENTY PER CENT, lowvr than Inst yenr. Of this our customers shall have the full benefit. In i\n advertisement of this sort we cannot give details, but will note a few of the special lines, which no family should bo without, as the price is very little over one-half of that hitherto charged in Wellington for the snme clnss of poods.
