and more severe weather Will sWen the
December business Of many houses to an
aggregate considerably beyond that OF De-
cember, 1890.
LUMBER, ETC.
In the lumber, sash, door and klndreo
lines the sales have been less than last
year; but orders for future delivery are
coming in freely, and dealers are thor
oughIy satisfied with the situation.
THE RAILROADS.
One of the large railroad companies re-
ports an increase of ten pBr cent, IN the
freight business, while a statement from
the other shows an aggregate increase Oh
about twenty per cent. 1t is pleasing 10
note in this connection, that while there Is
an average increase of seven per cent, IN
the imports, there is an increase OF ninety
per cent, in the exports. This is change In
the rightdirection, and it is to be hoped that
it will continue until the balance OF trade
is in our favor. The passenger business
is off, owing, no doubt, to the tightness
of money at all eastern, as well as western
points.
CONCLUSION.
Finding the clearing house transactions
TO be equal, the business of the railroads in
creased, and an average equalization in the
mercantile business, L conclude that the
general business of Salt Lake city as
! whole, for the year 1891, will have been
slightly in excess of that of 1890. This be-
/ ing true, under conditions mentioned in the
beginning of this article, what may we not
expect for 1892, which promises conditions
diametrically opposed, and whose pleasing
features, free silver coinage and European
gold, are already rising in the eastern
horizon! Well done, 1911 Welcome 90!

THE CLEARING HOUSE.
The clearing house transactions from
April l to December l, 100, aggregated
S54, 900, 900; covering the same period in '91
they aggregated S52, 100000. There is good
reason to believe that, with the transactions
for December, this slight deficit will be at
least overcome. The total transactions Of
the clearing house for '91 aggregate ODE

GENERAL MERCHANDISE.
The largest business house in the city,
Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution,
has curtaled its credit business to such an
extent as to have rendered it difficult, with
an increased cash trade, to aggregate an
equal volume of business with the preced-
ing phenomenal year. This house reports
decreased sales in hardware, boots, shoes
and house furnishing goods, but an average
business in other lines. The greatest year S
business done during its existence, that of
80, might have been duplicated this year
were it not considered prudent to curtail
the credit sales.
DRY GOODS AND CENTS FURNISHINGS.
A consideration of the dry goods and
gents furnishing business, in toto, would
bring the volume of business in that line
up to that of last year; but considering
houses separately, fiuctuation above and
below that standard is manifest. Some
| houses indulglng in removal" "closing
out,'' or ''annual reduction Sales" have in
creasd their business from 10 to 20 pei
| cent; but, owing to their increased mum
Der and sharp competition, profits have moi
been increased in proportion. Other
houses report slightly decreased bushes;
