MR. A. J. WHITE'S SALE.

Thb stock of the late Iron and Wood ware Company, which Mr. A. J. White is now selling oil in the Octagon, Dnnedin, contains a numerous and valuable assortment of furniture of every kind. The articles are all perfectly tew and in first-cIaFS condition, and the workmanship and finish shown by them aie unrivalled. Such an opportunity as is now cffered to the public is not one likely to occur again — if ever, and thoke who let it pa-n by will have cause to regret baiingdcn«Bo. The reductiocs made are ennrmnu*,and priceß com pared with the original pi ices and the character of the poods offered for sale, may be set down as merely nominal. The stock comprises cur* tainr, carpeting, table-covers, and rug?, of the choicest and most durable kinds ; chairs of all sorb, from tho strong but neat kitchen chair to the gorgeous arm-chair that might grace a lnxnrious draw-inc-rooro. An ascortment of tables of a like kind ; wardrobes with and without mirrors ; bedstead*, bo h iron and wooden, among -which we particularly noticed a handsome constiustion of kauri wood fit for the first dwelling in the land ; wash-hand stands and chamber sets, dressing tables, looking glasse?. book case?, lounges, sofas— everything in shoit, that could possible be required. Among the more noticeable articles are soaae complete suites of drawing-room and diningroom furniture planned with exquisite taste and skilfully put together ; a wardrobe of honeysuckle wood, made in three compartments, and with a mirror in the middle doer ; a bedroom suits in inlaid New Zealand woods, made, and cheaply made, at a coat of £100, but now reduced to £60. Another great reduction is shown in tbe price of a really magnificent piece of furniture— a cabinet called the Exhibition Cabinet, nnd which is a marvel of carving and inlaid New Zealand woods. The first price of this article was £200, and it is now offered for £40. Tbe assortment of goods, in a word— is one that would be creditable to a show-room in the first capital in Europe,— and contains, besides, articles, in tbe way of constructions in native woods, that would be sought for there in vain. As we bave already said, the sale affords an opportunity not easily to be found, and which will be regretted by those who allow it to pass by unheeded.
