THE TIMES.

A MORE important period than the present for
purchasing unquestionably EXCELLENT, USEFUL,
AND SUPERIOR GENERAL DRAPERY has never occurred
arising from the peculiar juncture of those powerful agencies
which have had the most alarming, general, and distressing in-

fluence upon commercial operations.
PUBLIC CALAMITIES,

or the causes that check the tide of national prosperity and
happiness, are not grateful subjeots upon which to dwell ; but it
must be a matter of deep regret to all possessed of enlarged and
benevolent views to witness the disastrous consequences re-
sulting from the rash credulity by which so vast a number
have involved themselves in

RAILWAY DIFFICULTIES,
which paralyze the manufacturing energies of the country, and
leave yet untold many a fearful tale of deplorable and utter
ruin. Casualties against which human sagacity affords no pro-

tection, such as the present
MONETARY EMBARRASSMENTS,
together with the almogt unexampled duration of
MILD AND UNSEASONABLE WEATHER,
have caused large Stocks of Winter Goods to remain on hand
which, in order to prevent further depreciation in value, must
be cleared off at such prices as must induce purchases, not only

for present, but
ANTICIPATED NECESSITIES

tion to real value.
