Another week has blessed the country
with great Improvement in the growing
crops. In wheat SO great change of con-
dition appears that men begin to question
whether the yield this year will not closely
Approximate the unprecedented crop Of 1891.
For other grain and cotton the outlook is
decidedly better, and there is reason now
to hope for mighty satisfactory results from
the years agriculture. In consequence
there is stronger trade throughout the
country, especially at western centres Of
distribution. The improvement is less
marked al the south, owing to the very
low price OF cotton and continued high
water in some regions. The one point Of
anxiety. in regard to the wage dispute in
tie iron manufacture, operates for the
present to cause increased trade. while in
other great industries the. situation is
clealy more favorable than usual
Salt Lake merchants report a very fair
trade Tor the week, especially in the earlier
part, and II Is safe to say that a great ma
iorlty OF our tradesmen closed their doors
last evening with perfect satisfaction.
Other cl.ies report az follows At Bos-
ton the demand from recently flooded west
ern districts has fully revived, and bust
ness is strong. Lower prices for bleached
shirtlngs have caused large sales, and
