We can only account for it in this way: About half of the business done is credit, and those who recetve credit are not apt to ask many questions and are not Prowpted to dososince comparizons are not-made. ‘Those who pay promptly and shop at these establish- ments see others-those who get credit—buying frecly and are carried away by the excitement of the which they do not enjoy and for a/| funn for «hich y did not con- tract.

The Palais Royal offers Japanese Satsuma Vases, Mp feet hizh, for $6, and vow'll see identical vases elsewhere marked $10, $12 and 825. Of course care fs taken by our clever competitors to ask about same prices for low-priced goods easily valued, but even then quotations are generally in our favor. For instance, here are four styles of Japanese Cups and Saucers at 21 cents instead of 25 cents. ‘Thousands more from 19¢. to $1.68. Rarities from Japan, 19°. to $1.50; from Limoges, 48°. to 1.63, the more expensive being, comparatively, better val- wes for the prices. And no less than fourteen styles of Plates at 23e. for choice. These with flowers so natural in form and colors as to appear as if dropped on the plate; these in shell pattern, with tined borders most shell-Wke; these with painting ef Cupids and perforated edues ; these from Bennet & Co.of England, allare works of art that make the price sem ridic- tlowsty low.
