WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
The Price of wheat Tends Upward
Oats aud Corn Decline.-Marktt
Glu,ted with Potatoes.

Trade during the ptst week has becn
very good Indeed. The cool evenings
aud frosty mornings remind US Of the
near approach Of winter, n-cessitating
the laying In Of supplies Of all kinds, rs
far M possible. Clothiers aud fur
nishep therefore arc enjoying the
greatest harvest, with coal dealers n
good second.
Grain Of all kinds, with few excep.
lions. are about the same ~ last week.
Home producers are realizing at last
that Eastern prices must be met, or
Wholesale dealers will be compelled 10
draw on the East for their supply, CON
scqucntly taking thousands OF dollars
from our Territory. Dealers here
would rather pay little more for home
productions as IL usually IN the best
seller. Moneycd mon report money,
that necessary requisite, lisa little more
free.
Labor and lahorers arr shout equal,
with the former few polnts more In
demand. Railroad prospects give us
more confidence OF future trade aud
prospects.
Eastern capital IL being very freely
but carefully Invested, which IN n good,

would seem 70 us satisfactory.
Oals-The market IL weaker, al
though receipts have been light the

stocked up. II IA ~ near settled n IL
can be- that fair prices will prevail

CoTn-Ihcr. II naked decline In
the price Of corn, as the crop il now

Hay-Arfivals Of hay during the
past week have been liberal, with

Po,atccs-The market IL at n perfect
| slandstill, AS there IL no outside demand
that will warrant buyers 10 MAXI an
/ offer that they are not ashamed Of. IL "
hard to say what the market will be Ia
the spring.
Utah has today an over-pfoduotion
Of potatoes, and there should certainly
bc some way Of utilizing them at home.
Where IL tho starch factory talked of
Onions-Quito u fair supply for local
| trade, with demand moderate. Quoted
US follows; Yellow Dauvers, 0Jc; red
varieties, 10 TO 500 per bushel.
Dried Fruit-Apples arc the chief
attraction. Eastern Advices are not
| favorable ami growers are not inclined
/ 10 push their goods, ~ far rs We can
learn. some good sales have been
made Of apples, with peaches and april
cotsa drug.
Poultry-The market during the past
week has been dull, Ms II has been well
supplied with home stock; the weather
being warm, dealers were anxious
| 10 sell on arrival. IL In difficult TO say
what the market will DO this week, a-
II Il Thanksgiving week. There Is
usually an over supply Of turkeys at
| tubs time Of the year, aud " the
weather should ho warm they will be
slaughtered on the market.
Frlits-The market II we'll supplied
with apples aud pears; the demand Ia
| good for chOire stock and the market
IN well sustained for choice red apples
and yellow pears. The only fruit that
drags IN that which has been pulled or
the trees and hauled In bags to the
market.
Eggs-The market Is firm with
tendency towards an advance, as the
home supply IL limited aud almost the
ontire supply IL drawu from the East,
which Is In very good condition, con.
sldering the distance OF transportation.
Selling Mt prices quoted.
Buttet-rhere IL n good demand for
butter with prices Arm, but very little
IL arriving from the country that II
,aleable, 80 we have Ia draw our sup.
ply from Kansas aud Nebraska, which
Is an expensive luxury 10 the con-u.
mer after two or three dealers have had
profit out Of II.
What Is greatly needed In Utah II
cresmeries. We VIII venture the as
srriion that one-fourth OF the butter
that 10 made Ia Utah Ia thrown away
or sold for soap grease.
