goods. Never, since wy
began to sell them. and new %r
we believe before, have prices
ranged 50 low. But in the
depth of this depression ;-'9
comes a deeper plunge. The
most unheard of things oc.

Absurd things are done w1rb
little lots oi goods some
times; but when grcatquan.
ttles are concerned, a tumble
IRON the very top OF the

rare. This Lupin tumble !,
a leap from tie top Of the

And now comes another

In one sense this is less
surprising; in another. more

5 cents; and it was a Won
srtul thing to do. We are

We still have ladies'-cloths
81. How do they differ
om these at Is cents?
ittercnt makers, diherentin

pPen to be; but the
lsOn of the difference in
ice is the difference in their
st to us. ltis by no means
ie that values always vary

We have twenty-eight
