III there was one thing more than an
other occurring during the year that sur
prised the average Salt Laker, it was the
amount of real estate which changed
n The new year, so far as it has pro-
gressed, gives every indication of far ex-
ceeding the sales of 1889. There are those
who are sanguine enough to believe and
assert that the close Of 1890 will show sales
of at least $50, 000, 000-an increase of at
least 100 per cent.
So far, the prospects for the new year
are decidedly encouraging in every way,
and are a marked contrast to the reports
received from other places. A year ago,
we in Utah had very unreasonable weather.
while the people of the east Jared differ

q decrease in business is looked for at this
time OF the year-the two months follow
ing the holidays being always looked for
ward to with keen anticipations as to what
they will bring-we nave as yet heard no
complaints; on the contrary, there is gen
erai satisfaction at the results. We do not
believe our merchants and business men
generally will have much cause to complain
of the volume of trade during the next
sixty days.
During the year just closed, there were
issued 126 merchants licenses in excess of
lSSS. This fact tells a story of progress
more ~eloquently than any other which
might be written.

Lead and Silver.

Our latest advices from the eastern mar
kets are given below:
In New York, the market has been al
most ~lifeless, and quotations have been
nominal.
In st. Louis, there has been nothing in
the position of pig lead worthy of mention.
Buyers generally appear Indifferent to load
up on a large scale, and will probably not
do so for a few days yet, if at all. In
creased offerings have caused the market
to be slightly heavy.
In Chicago, lead has ruled quiet. but
on the whole values have been steady:
consumers are somewhat apathetic, but
holders keep firm.
The following cali has been issued bv
Edward H. Eddy: Pursuant to action of
the United Lead association at a conyen-
ton held at st. Louis, November 9th, 1889.
and by direction of said convention. 2
meeting of all parties interested in the pro
duction and protection of lead is hereby
called at the parlorS of the Windsor hotel.
Denver, January eth, 1890, at 10 o'clock a,
m, for the purpose of organizing the Col
orado branch of the United Lead associa-
ton, and for the transaction of such other
business as may come before the meeting.
In Salt Lake, lead opened on Monday at
1885, and closed at the same figure last
evening. There was but little %luctuafion
during the week.

rather weak. No cause for the weakness
is vcuchsafed. Some surprise in mining
circles has been occasioned by the contin-
ued success of this company in view of the
rather ~discouraging tone of the expert re-
port made upon the property early in the
year. An explanation, which was fur
nished By President Washington to an in
qulrer this afternoon, will throw more
light on this point thar any information
that has yet been made public. President
washington states that about three months
ago, on the seventh level of the old shaft.a
body OF ore was struck, which, it is
thought, will enable the company to paw
quarterly dividends of $50, 900 each for a
year without any new discoveries. This
explains the increased profits of the com
pany during the last quarter. The dividend
some weeks ago was paid at the
office of the company. 1t seems that the
original intention Of the directors was to
pay this dividend on the first of the year.
but 1t was suggested that the dividend
might properly be paid on Christmas Eve.
and this pleasant suggestion was carried
out.
There were the usual shipments during
the week.
