The stock market was somewhat unsettled
throughout most of the day, and while fiuctua-
tons were small and unimportant, few stocks
displayed marked weakness The offer OF the
Treasury Department TO buy bonds caused a
rush to cover in the early morning, and the
market was for a short time quite strong, but
selling by foreigners soon neutralized this in
| fluence and traders started in to sell the list,
finally wiping out most Of the improvements.

OUR DAILY

The great newspapers of our cities
in their keen competition are con-
stantly studying what kind of reading
will be most likely to hold and in
crease their circulation, and probably
no more correct estimate Of the aver-
age public sentiment Of any community
can be obtained than from the columns
of ourdaily papers 20iolind r blh o
- In communities where sac columns of
their papers are given to bull fights,
dog fights or prize. fights, and only
sac lanes to the monthly meetings of
humane societies, no matter hoyy,. many
churches and missions there mag be, it
is evident there is need Of humane
education. There is a perpetual con-
fict between the army of mercy and
the armies of cruelty-a conflict, no
only for the protection of dumb ami
mails, but also for the protection of life
and property, and we think it the duty
Of every good man and woman either
to enlist as a working soldier, or help

the firm of s nurthwa ate, Rica & Co. is
widely known over the length and

they are not unknown IN Nevada,
where their operations have reached,
and where they are building up sub

entered into an arrangement with
Messrs. D. M. Steele & Co., of Omaha

gentlemen long and favorably known in
this inter-mountain region and who
enjoy not only the patronage but the
esteem and confidence of large num-

An EnterprisiHg JObbing House
A Rapid Growth.

When the Walker Brothers, who had
b zen in tn : general merchandise business
for years, determined to close their
wholesale grocery business, Messrs.
Remington, Johnson & Co. purchased
the business from them. At that time
these gentlemen were comparatively
unknown here, although they had had
an extensive business experience in
other parts of the country. When they
took hold of this business, the personal
attention given to it by them was much
greater than it had usually received,
and 1t naturally began to prosper in
proportion to the efforts devoted
to il. In the five years that these gen.
tlemen nave conducted this business
they have become recognized as
amongst the most prominent in their
line in the Territory, and as the years
have gone by their trade has contlnu

General @. G. Rich.
Although young in years, both gen
tLemen have crowded into these years
vast business and social experience,
and both have been identified With the
T. G.. NJ |. 1t will be admitted, there
fore, that they are well acquainted with
the business requirements of the Terri
tory, hence it is not surprising that in
so short a time they should have
achieved such hattering success. But
they owe their success not only to their
ability to do business on sound com :
merciaI footing, namely, in the uniform
excellence of their goods and the low
prices they are able to give their Gus
to ners, but to the generous policy
they have adopted since the COM
msncement. of giving their pa rons
every possible advantage, as the cor
respondence files of many a merchant
throughout this inter-mountain region
can testify, containing, as they do, le'-
ters from this irn pointing out that in
consequence of declines in the market,
they have invoIced goods at lower
prices than they were sold at by their
representatives, who cover, "a regular
intervals, the vast Territory from
which this popular firm draws its
patronage.
The have hitherto carried on their
business at Ogden City, but the volume
of patronage in this city and the south
has so multiplied as to demand the es-
tablishment of warehouse for distrib-
uting purposes here. They have not
yet succeeded in securing location,
but anticipate, before January emerges
from its teens, to be settled down in
at Lake City with regular staff of
competent statesmen, and hope, by
strict attention to business, studying
the wants of their customers, standard
quality of goods, low prices and hon.
orable dealing TO still further enlarge
and extend their business relations
with the merchants of this city and the
immediate neighborhood.
In addition to their regular line of
fancy and staple groceries, these gentle
men handle a very fine line of domestic
and imported cigars, and make a
specially of fine teas in bulk and
packages Their leading package brands
are the Mikado, very fine basket fired
tea, and the Bride of Japan, the
choicest sun cured leaf, which have
been selected by their tea manage,
(who devotes his whole time to the
testing selection, and purchase of teas)
especially for the trade of this section.
All their teas are imported direct from
Japan in bond to this city.
Being so well known, as we have he
fore intim ated, itsis unnecessary for us
to commend the gentlemen composing
this firm and their representatives to
the business community, but we will
take this opportunity of stating that we
feel confident their integrity and bust =
ness qualifications must result in their
continued prosperity.
