Big Ore and Bullion Output-A Prominent
Eastern Merchant on the Trade Outlook
Chamber Of Commerce

The week just passed has been devoid of
sensational features in business way.
There has been the usual steady trade, and
while unreasonable weather has had its
effects upon certain lines everything being
taken into consideration, there is no com
plant at the volume of trade. There is
not the activity of month ago, and it is
not TO be expected there would be. The
merchants generally who were seen yes
terday expressed themselves as being per-
fectly satisfied with the business done, and
they have nothing but the most sanguine
hopes for the future.
A summary of the business status for the
past week would be as follows. Trade
good for January--quite good money tight;
demand very heavy; banks limiting all &C
commodation to regular customers, making
no new loans. Collections in city fair,
country poor
There were recent sales of local securi
ties as follows: Utah Commercial and Saw
ings stock at S1.5O, the highest figure yet
touched; First National, Provo, sl25.
The real estate market has shown most
decided symptoms of reawakening; but it
is too early yet to predict whether or not
the awakening is temporary or otherwise.
The stock market has been fairly active,
particularly during the latter part of the
week.
One big event of the week was the an
nual meeting of the chamber of commerce,
full and complete reports of which have
already appeared in THE HERALD The
showing made, 1 think, was one in which
every citizen should take pride The work
done during the year was decidedly salts

prospects of the chambers long life and
usefulness were never so good as at pres

have been formed, fiourished for time
and died. They were resurrected only to
wink out again. In many cases years have
been spent in vain endeavors to attain

has enjoyed since the completion of the
first six months of its existence This, too

vail. This in turn will stimulate specula-
tion and, so far as stocks are concerned,
they will naturally reach higher values
than those now ruling.
Adverse financial legislation need not
be feared. The present silver coinage law
will absorb nearly the entire annual out
put, and, even if we should have free coin
age, it is not likely to change existing con-
ditions seriously.
Most of the general conditions are
favorable for good years business in 1891
Stocks of goods are generally small and
the purchasing power of the masses fully
up to the average. While there may be
exceptions in certain lines, they are the ex-
ceptions which prove the rule, and those
who work hard and live within their means
will doubtless find 1891 better year than
the average"

the greatest stimulating influences upon the
STOCK market for months. To-day turned foreign
