Dr1y Goods.
J.N. Adam &Co


 sm-ll brocaded figures-a decid- ed novelty-one we were not sure about at first, but which is now an assured success. The goods have taken" and the manufacturers cannot produce them fast enough for the sale. We shall have them as often as we can, but when you see a style that pleases you, take it. It may be ten days or more before we have just that one again.
 The Indigo Blue Sateens are also a success with us, owing perhaps to the fact that they are not shown elsewhere in New Haven, and down in New York they are 25 cents a yard. Queer, isn't 1t, they should be so much cheaper in New Haven.
 Here is another queer thing. Did you notice last week or the week before an advertisement in zAe ReezSterr, by an emi- nent and well-known New York firm, offering great bar gains in Ladies Cotton Under wear? And did any of you write down for the goods ad- vertised, ol go in and sec them when you were in New York :? And did you discovef that they were exactly the same line of goods we are selling, cut on the same patterns, made in the same factory? And weren't you a little surprised to find that the goods which a great metropolitan firm thought such bargains as to be worth adver- tising in New Haven paper in a special advertisement, could be bought fully as cheap iA one of our own New Haven stores i?
 Now take something else. Look at the fine 6-4 imported Cloth for Ladies' Tailor-made Suits that you can buy of us at $Lao to-day,Jaudz yes eaFete be at the trouble, see if you can get anything as good on Broad way or Sixth avenue at less than $I.25.
 We don't make any preten- sions to undersen New York merchants all around. That would be absurd. But we tell you many thing is sold cheap CT in New Haven than in the great city.
 Parasols are here again. They are not much different from last year s-j just enough to show that there is a difference. The tendency IS to multi ply the ribs, as many as twenty being put in some parasols, giving them Japanese effect. Changing colored and pongee silk are favorite materials. The sticks have hooks, crutch-heads, Crescents, &c., on the upper end, and there is the usual variety of handles. The latter are plainer and heater than in former years.
 Brocaded Velvet Wraps are selling very fast, as well they may when we can name $Io, $I2 and SIS as prices. And Raglan and Newmarket Coats at various prices from $5.5o to $Io.oo go freely. Ladies buy the lower priced ones for trav- cling dusters. Children's over- garments from $I.5o up. The ever-ready, always neat Jersey waist or'jacket holds it's own, notwithstanding it's run of four years. More are sold now than ever. One reason is that they are now very much cheaper very much better article is sold now at say $4 than was sold at $7 formerly; and then they are so useful and convenient for all kinds of purposes and times.
 New Buttons, new Braids, new Trimmings.
 New Prints, new Cambrics, new Dress Goods, daily.
 Do any ladies do white sew ing at home now /? They will be apt to think it not worth while when they read this :; Mems full-sized night shirts of fair cotton, made with rolling collar, breast pocket, coat cuffs, hand-sewed button holes, felled and gusSeted seams-and all for 50 cents. Better cotton in the 75c and $I.oo night shirts, and a fancy embroidered article at $I.25.
