A Revolutionary Movement.

We dropped into Ii. j. Gillcn's on yesterday
: to write up'' his new fall stock and give the
readers Of the TRADER some idea Of Mr.. &. 5 fall
purchases. After a few minutes examination we
decided to coninc ourselves to me corner of thces-
Establishment and attack that, if We could find n
beginning place. A more complete stock of dry
goods we have never seen, Mr.. Gillen having
placed no limit to his purchases save purchasing
capacity of the community. The stock is not
made up, as is often seen, of the cheaper grades
of goods only, compelling his customers to fore
90 the finer and more stylish goods OF the city or
go there for them, but we found ii rich in all the
finest goods in the market. Among the entirely
new lines we found Il new fabric for dress goods,
styled Bou,ettc mDIsa and Bouirtte HCigcuSt, the
two names eXpressH,' the difference between
two pieces of same grade, the first being an mi-
tation of a messy surface and the second a snow
| hakc-trimmngs to match. These are the gcnu-
inc goods and not the limitations with which the
market is flooded. The same characteristics mark
the stock Of silks, which is truly supcrb,-a stock
almost endless, and which though purchased ut at
least 40 per cent below former prices, fOots up in
value something astonishing even to us who cX-
| pect much at Gillen's. Morrison also showed us
specimens from the velvet stock, embracing
coakings, bonnet and trimming velycts, Of Pom
