The public know what such a sale means here by their visits here in the past. Such comes by never betraying the confidence they have put in us. 875 yards figured India silks— black and colored grounds, in a number of handsome patterns, in- cluding polka dot—will be closed out at the very ridiculous price of 1214 cents. This is really the most remarkable offering in silks that has ever been made to the people of this city, for we know positively that upon but one occasion have they been sold for less than 19c. a yard. The 875 yards are the balance of the entire (ening that we bought recently.
