OUR Buyer while North secured, a number of rare bar gains, but in our judgment one of the best things we ever saw for the price was a job lot of? All "Wool, German-made HENRIETTAS, That he bought with the intention of making a big run on at 75c. per yard, it being a Cloth that would have been pro nounced cheap at that price, but in order to secure a specially low price we were compelled to buy too much of this one kind, so we have decided that rather than carry it over to offer it at the remarkably low price of? 50c. per yard. This is no fake, but a Real Bargain. The Jobber from whom we bought this has recently written us saying that they could not sell us the same Cloth now for less than 52 l-2c. per yard wholesale, and that as soon as the new tariff bill became a law it would cost 62 l-2c. per yard to import.
