TERRIBLE LOSSES, NOT TO US, BUT TO THE ORIGINAL OWNERS.

We know that the times are alarming, that on every hand there is distrust and bankruptcy, but notwithstanding all this we can't stand still and see Dry Goods sold in New York for a mere song without dipping in ourselves. Our immense fall trade also teaches us that the people are as hungry now for goods as they ever were, if the prices are only sufficiently tempting.

"Cut" No. 1.—25,000 yards yard wide Percales, elegant styles, only 7 cents a yard.
