IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
Radical Changes IN C5atsmp'i''oa-Rsdac
non Of Stock Necessary -ReiaaHoH q
Prices IN al Departments.

Pending an important change at II. }. Gil.
lens, TO take place March ls,, the nature OF
which will be announced later,-a change
necesstating an immediate and radical re,
duction of stock in MI deparmenis,-the
"0ld Reliable" will this coming week begin
q reduction sale on scale never before at
tempted in this city.
The circumstances demand the moving of a
great quantity of surplus stock Immediately
and the house to make this reduction OF
stock, is willing, and will, make substan-
tial and decided sacrifice of values to accom-
plish this result
The sale will extend TO all departments of
dress goods, cloaks, general dry goods, the
boot and shoe stock and also the grocery de-
partment, on which new prices will be made
Oh every class of merchandise.
1t is necessary to emphasize the fact that
this is a strictly CASH SALE. The reduc.
tons that will be made are SO radical, the
sacrifice orpaiue so great, that the sale will he
conducted only on the basis of spot cash, and
all buyers are expected to bear this fact in
mind.
To cash buyers, therefore, the sale begin
ming this morning will be the most import,
ant Offering of general merchandise ever
made in this city.
The house is thoroughly in earnest. The
stock is too large, |, must be radically re-
iuced before March lst, and ii will be offer
ed at prices, in many instances below or less
than first cost At this sale cash may buy
more merchandise than it ever before bought
in Ottawa; and every cash buyer is asked
to call and make personal examination Of
this the most perfect stock of guaranteed
merchandise in the county, and to personally
inform himself Of the character and ext mt
of the reduction in prices.

PnEA rraIA Feb. IA sensation was
crea.ed - coal dealing circles by the an
noUnceinent that A. Pardee & Co, the LIE
high operators, had decided to drop out Of
the coal combine and reduce the price Of the
Lehigh product The firm is one Of the larg-
est in the business, and il has heretofore been
regarded as one OF the most conservatives IL
first cut was - cents per ton on all sizes, bu.
il is limited that this is not the bed rock price,
as Mr.. Ario Parlee, the senior member Of the
ir1n, has stored up many thousands of tons
which he proposes To dispose of now.
When il first became known that the cut
had leen made a number of messages were
sent to PaTgiec's offices at Hazleton asking
whether the action had been authorized
Evasive replies were received, the correspond
ents being referred to one of the Philadelphia
agents Of the firm.
Upon inquiry it was learned that the firms
agents were selling coal at the reduced price
and getting all the contracts they could The
cut Is the direct outgrowth of the mild
weather, which has caused large accumula,
tons Of stocks at various points.
al the leading coal companies and indi
vidual producers talked about the cut
all agreeing that the would not make similar
concessions.
An official Of the Reading Coal and Iron
Company said: This cut is of course unex.
pe.ted, and nobody .ilkes it, but guess it viii

they have made the reduction, but if they had
not made it they would promptly deny the re
port. The agents have heard from admit that
