SOUTH WATER ST. AND ONE or IT'S
BUSINESS HoUsEs.-South w ater street,
lined with its extensive warehouses and
commission establishments, is not. as was
once the fac, entirely monopolized by
business houses OF that description. Its
eastern part is rapidly becoming Broad
way like, and here and there we find
large wholesale stores.
Conpicuous among the wholesale bus
mess firms on this street is that of Davis.
Moody IL Co, importers and wholesale
dealers in foreign and domestic dry
goods, who occupy the fist, second,
bird, fourth and fifth story rooms Of the
brick building, No. II, each room being
$40 feet deep by 20 wide, AMI well filed
with packages and boxes of all kinds of
goods, much ofwhich they import direct
in ''ofi Ginal packages" from Europe.
This is a very extensive dry goods
jobbing establishment, ooing an excel
lent business, K based upons firm basis OF
capital. The firm consists ofIiberal, gen
.tleman. ndenergetic business men, who
will, we trust, ever thrive and do a bus
mess co-extcnsive with thrr deserts
This firm is a branch O. lie old estab-
lished and extensive hose of SAMUF,
&. DAVIS Il CO., in 81. 4ouis. Count,
merchants will find the reasona}ale an
desirable men to dea. y tn.

ENGLISH MANNEEs.-In coming from
England one is struck with the manners
of the French common people, as entire
~ wanting in obsequiousnc>S, which OBJ
tainS in an ariStocrafic count Y. They
are pleasant good humored and obliging
blu. those downcast looks of utter hu-
p iatiou and establishment which one
sees in the English lower classes in the
presence Of superior in their rank, does
never a. pear. 1t would appear that the
revolutions ri France have made clean
work with &. that. The general air OF
the common ps lie is as thoroughly
democratic AS n America IL. BEECH

Dry GOoDs IN MARBLE HALLS" =
They who live in marble palaces, are
the tavogites of fortune; for who bu
the prosperous and the wealthy can at
ford such magnifcence
Arguing thus, the conclusion is uatu.
raj that our friends, Cooley, Farwell &
Co., the extensive wholesale Dry-Goods
firm, successors to Cooley, Wadsworti
g. Co.. are among the most prosper Gus
of Western Merchants. Their new
building on Wabash avenue, a few
steps south of Lake St, into which they
have Just moved their large stock o.
goods. and which they will hencefortl
occupy as their business house. is :
''n bile palace" that would do homo 20
G.ih avenue nabob, doing business IN
Br,a4way. Its ? magnificent buildin.
and It's interior is magnifeentlv crane
ed and magniticiently filed.
The basement and first story rooms,
each so and l2O feet in size are equal to
any of any New York wholesale
rooms; and il addition to these, they
occupy the fourth and fifth stories AZ
accommodating in all. each depart
department; b.'ag filed with goods, az
extensive a / goods house as can be
found anywhere.
Those who know nothing of Chicago
business matters, may receive with in
crcdulity tn statement that Chicago
business houses may thus be compared
with ,hose of Gotham; but for such the
best doubt-dispellcr, in this respect, is
to ''come and see" It is fact, and we
say it not in Boosting.
The firm of Cooley, Wadsworth &
Co, did business during the pas yeaI
amounting to 81 100000. Having beer
established in the city for nine wears
and proved itself worthy of the conf
dence and patronage Of retail merchants
in the West, the business of this house
has gradually increased from year K
year, and it will not be expecting toe
much to say that during the present
year their business will erceed +;
million Of dollars. We most earnestly
wish them continued success in then
new location, knowing, as we do, that
none are worthier of it. Chicago Ere

Der of passengers on that occasion is an
