THE WINTER TRADE, J M'DOWELL & CO. beg to thank the inhabitants of Wellington and the surrounding • provinces for the large amount of patronage accorded to them since thoir first opening in Wellington, and they have grea* pleasure in stating that the large and steady increase which has taken place in their business, has necessitated their building new and commodious premises, so as to enable them to hold a stock in proportion to their increasing trade. Their new premises having been completed for some time, has enabled them to hold a stock much in excess of f?.u/thing they have hitherto exhibited ; and the punctual arrival of the vessels containing their first shipments has enabled them to open up a new stock for the season, consisting of ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE PACKAGES. As the greater portion of theße goods have been selected directly for our especial trade by a buyer thoroughly conversant wilh the requirements of this colony, who has a large New : Zealand experience, we feel great confidence in recommending to them to our customers and the public in general.
