EARLY CLOSING.

The clerks of the city are circulating petition asking ,thaE all stores be closed at 6 o'clock in the evening. The petition has been very generally signed so far. Only one merchant, s. Korrick, proprietor of the New York store, has declined. The early closing movement is certainly a very commendable one, as it gives business men and their en- ployes an opportunity to spend their evenings away from work, and was operated successfully during the sum- mer, when all stores closed not later than o'clock D. m. It is probable that this reform in the length of business hours will again prevail.

A FACT.

Woolen goods in New York have fallen 50 per cent in prices in the last two months. We bought all of our woolen dress goods for spot cash on a fallen market and will sell our dress goods for 50 per cent less than any other store that bought their goods ear Her in the season. We have just re- ceived and placed on sale 100 pieces woolen dress goods ranging in prices from 10 to 35 cents per yard, worth from 20 to 50 cents per yard. We are now offer ing the finest grades of woolen and silk dress goods at prices (if the qual- ity can be found in any other store in this city alt alD, the prices for it would be double.
