In the notion and jewelry department almost any thing in that line in the market is exposed for sale at very reasonable prices. The dis play of underwear and blankets is very large and large sales were made yesterday. Special attention should be called to the fine display in the millinery and cloak department, where all the latest styles of cloaks and hats are sold at the most reasonable of prices.
