OUR COMMISSION MERCHANTS.
MOODY & PARISH.

In looking through the business interests
Of our city it Is our aim to select only first.
class houses for representation in these col
umns. There is branch of industry that
has heretofore escaped our notice, and that
is the wool trade; but we shall eudeaVor to
make this omission good, and with that end
in view have selected the tirst.cusS firm OF
Moody Il Parish, Of 2l0 Davis St, s. +. They
are wool commission merchants, and il is one
Of the leading houses In its line on the cOns t.
and whose transactions cover the entire
range here. They also carry such needed IT,
ticlcs in stock pertaining to the wool trade,
such as wool bags, twine, sheep shears, sheep
washes and tobacco. The location Of the
firm is good one and one for business con.
vcnience. The business of the year Just
closed has been prosperous one, their busi.
ness having increased Notwithstanding the
dulncss OF other trades. This has been
brought about by adhering to strict bust.
ness principles, consulting always the best
interests Of their consignors, selling when
the market juslilles it at full value. Their
facilities for the disposition of wool, either in
this or any Of the Eastern markets, are per.
feet, and large proportion of the clip Of the
coast Is annually passed through their hands
to the satisfaction Of their numerous patrons
from Prescott, Arizona, to San Juan Island,
Washington Territory. This Is the oldest
house connected with the wool trade on the
coast, and Is Of large experience in their
line and high standing in commercial circles
To our friends We confidently commend this

at him. ~ thought you only sang!"
"Wcll, singing and talking mean about
the same thing in bird-!auguagc,' said
the canary. But goodness g-r-r-racious!"
he went on n,swiuging rapidly to and fro in
his little swing at the top OF hs Gaze,

"Oh!" said the canary, putting bis

A Sugge estion to the Travelling
p11lnlin

Tourists, emigrants and mariners find that
HOstetter's Stomach Btters Is q medicinal
safeguard against unhealthful influences, up
on which they can implicitly rely, since it
prevents the effects that an unhealthy eli
mate, vitiated atmosphere, unaccustomed or
unwholesome diet, bad water, or other condi-
tOns unfayorable to health would otherwise
produce. On long voyages, or journeys by
land in latltudes adjacent to the equator, it is
especially useful as preventive ofthe febrile
complaints and disorders of the stomach, liv-
er and bowels, which are apt to attack natives
of the temperate zones sojourning or travel
ing in such regions, and it is an excellent
protection against the influence Of extreme
cold, sudden changes Of temperature expos
ure to damp or extreme fatigue. 1t not
only prevents intermittent and remittent fe-
yer, and other diseases of malarial type,
but eradicates them, a fact which has been
notorious for years past in North and South
America, Mexico, the West Indies, Australia
and other countries.
