A Strong Lead Market.

Lead has held its own very strongly
all around tho board, says the Denver
Circular for the present week, and
freights fhom st. Louis and Chicago hav-
ing been only l2ls and 10 cents rcspec-
lively, have facilitated Eastern ship
ments. In this way about 1000 tons
have been sold, being equally divided
among the three distributing points, and
at s4.l2119 in the West and $4.25 at New
York. The corridors held meeting a,
Saratoga, but did not advance their
prices, although they might have done 30
to advantage-but they argued that with
Spanish lead now only Ell 5s., or about
$3.50 to $4,55 laid down at New York
duty paid, there was little danger OF any
advance to point beyond s4.37J&. Stocks
all through are reported to be very light,
and manufacturers do not claim full sup
plies. The heaviest six weeks demand
OF the entire year is close at hand, and a
strong market liz not only probable but
certain.

MATCH MAKING IN UTAH.
Al Kinds and All Makes, and some
Are Tipped with sulphur.

This morning Il DEMOCRAT reporter
jumped into the delivery wagon OF the
Great Western Match Factory, and asked
the driver not to dump him out then and
there. az he wanted to visit the factory
and see il he could not find Tor himself q
suitable match
There are, by the way, several kind OF
match factories, as well rs several
sorts OF match makers. There are fight
ing matches, racing matches, working
matches--few OF the latter are, however,
seldom made-athletic matches, baby
matches, wedding matches, and, in fact,
matches OF all sorts, and for all kinds oil
people Makers Of these various kinds
OF matches are usually to be found in
abundance in any communicative
smaller the community the more numer-
Gus the match makers.
Those who engage in making matches
Tor marriages are mostly to be found
among old maids, and rich mothers with
several very manageable daughters.
There are several OF both kinds i'll Salt
Lake, and in the neighborhood where the
writer sojourns are few kind and loving
mothers who are devoted to the interests
OF their charming, yet single daughters.
But somehow or other, said mothers have
a notion that newspaper men as rule
are not Astors. or Goulds, or Mackays,
and so let SO most opportune chance TO
work up match OF the character which
mothers are adebt in making.
The factory visited this morning was
not nm institution for making wedding
matches, and let us hope there is no such
a one organized in this now happy city;
but it was a place where matches are
made with sulphur on the end OF them.
The Great Western Match Company is
young and fiourishing factory located in
the Second ward. Three years ago il was
entirely destroyed by fire, but phoenix
like, rose from its ashes better and more
lasting institution. 1t may be news to
many who daily use the Red Capmatches,
to know that they are mace in this city
by the G. w. NJ. Co.
An inspection OF the machinery used
in making the matches and the match
boxes satisfied the reporter that, though
small, it is complete and does work equal
to that done in the East. In few days,
however, large and more complete stock
OF machinery willarrive from Connecticut,
which wiz enable the manufacturers to
supply ~ lrade not only for Utah but
the stao lnding States and Territories.
The timber used in making these useful
little articles is red pine from Pleasant
Valley, used for the match, stems, and
quaking-asp, from Cottonwood, used for
the boxes Tlc sulphur used comes
from Dickert's sulphur beds ut Cove
Creek, in Southern Utah.

A First.Class Primary Fair.

a reporter dropped into the Primary
Fair being held in the old Social Hall
this morning. Placing aside all preju-
dices and differences OF opinion, the ex-
hlbits do the little people much credit,
and are great surprise to behold. 1t is
too bad that in Utah there can be no as
stimulation and concerted action on the
part OF the whole people in matters OF this
character. The exhibits to be seen at the
Primary Fair are not only numerous, but
ingenious, beautiful and useful, and com
prise many kinds OF needlework, mochan-
zeal skill and outdoor labor. The lair
has been open three days, but will close
tonight at 10 o'clock. It has been pretty
well patronized, and the management
feel very well satisfied.
