The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-12-20

attended by one of the obliging attendants, we
were forcbly reminded of the great break in
prices in the dry goods trade. Cotton goods
we're perfectly splendid for purchasers, but de-
Cidedly ruinous to the sellers Just TO think of
q good article of Canton flannel at 20 cents per
yard, and the finest qualities at 81 to 81 cents;
most beautiful Merrimac calcoes at 20 cents;
and yard wide shirtlng muslins at % cents. We
were strongly tempted to do as Mrs. Toodles
did-lay MP good supply for time OF
need, II 1t were not for one consideration q e.,
our greenbacks would not hold out. me messrs.
Strawbrdge & Co. have, perhapp, as me an
assortment of unbeached muslins, sheetlngs,
and nannels as can be found anywhere IN the
city. Besides these staples, there ls great aud
beautiful variety OF fancy dress-goods, which
goods of all kinds. One, as he looks around,
cannot wonder why the ladies are so fond of
shopping when such tempting goods are dis
pIayed to their eyes, and such ravisbingly low
prices asked for them as are asked Oy the

Price a. Wood, Dealers In Dry Goods.
II has been said that iu the square on Eighth
street. between Arch and Market streets, there
the same space in any other city IN the United
States. The statement is certainly very bold
one, and would need some most convincing data
to satisfy any one OF Its truth. Yet it is,
nevertheless, q fact. The square is wholly de
voted to the retail trade. There every day
resorts the fashion aud the beauty OF the city
to purchase their 'fXingo" to adorn their
pretty selves. There is hardly an hour during
the day, when the weather is at all fayora.
BILE, that the street is not iammed. Even
after nighttall the stream OF humanity, OF
rather hu-wOmanity, continues TO flow along
until late at night. To be sure there are a
great many who promenade up and down to see
and be seen, but the great majority are BONA tde
purchasers
Right in the centre of this busy square stands
the s;2re at Messrs. p1S:G6 \ Wood. Fir large

Eighth and tilbert streets. Their business is
principally in auction dry goods-that is, in
goods that are sold by the manufacturers and
importers at auction to keep up a constant sup
ply in the markets. AS they generally puy
cheap, they are enabled to otter great bargains
10 the public. Their stocE, too, is always fresh
and OF the most novel and fashionable kind.
There are no old goods to be found upon their
counters or upon their shelves. And then, too,
as we have said, the prices are most be witch
lngly loW-that l., bewitchng to the par
chaser, but not to tbs seller. For il
is almost ruinous to sell as loE as
they do. owing to the pressure OF the times.
Dress goods, lannels, gloves OF al kinds ladies'
and gentlemens' cloth, kid, silk, and cotton, are
sprcad around in prousion. 1t is well worth
VISIT even to make call to look ever their
Fpelo'" Gasor,I ,t.IGnr. uG yet it is rather dan
gerous experiment, for the prices are so tempt
ingly cheap that we can hardly resist the incli-
nation to buy their cheap BAT rich poplins.
Only think, too, of good quality real kid GLOVES

hardly find place in the Whoe city where the
purchaser would be so apt to DC suited aa at
