Expressions of Opinion From
Many WelI-Known Dealers.
BETTER THAN A YEAR AGO.
Much Depends on the Copper Plant and
Deep Greek Road.
All the Dealers Receiving Many Inquiries
From Abroad-A Fairly Good Season
in Sight, but no Boom Is
Anticipated.

IN the spring the real estate dealers
fancy lightly turns to thoughts OF home
seekers, investors and big deals. No
class OF people watch the trend of busi-
ness events more closely or are better able
to make shrewder forecasts of the COM
mercial situation. TIE HERALD this
number OF prominent dealers on the out
look for the season. The prospect is al
together satisfactory, but will be much
more brilliant If the several projected en-
terprises. such as the copper plant and
Deep Creek road, are brought to success
Jul Issue.
REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS.
President Hubbard, of the chamber of
commerce-The outlook is all right. The
copper plant deal will be closed up salts
factorily, and other things which will
give the city backbone, will follow. L
look for much improvements over last year
in all lines of business. The World 3
fair is going to bring US lot of visitors,
and on the whole, the prospect seems to
me to be most encouraging.
II. p. G. Coates-The real estate and
business outlook is satisfactory.
The copper smelter is only a
starter, and will help us in securing other
down to bedrock, and the agents are now
doing an excellent business, hich will
improve as the season advances.
A. L. Pollock look to see consid-
cradle improvement over last year.
This week has been somewhat quiet,
but it is only The calm preced-
ing the great commotion. Business
will not retrograde in Salt Lake. There
is no question as to the good standing of
!, SC 1ff nf ctn
and we have every reason TO expect a
prosperous season.
w. C. B. Allen-The condition of the
real estate market in Salt Lake
depends much upon the money
market-perhaps more upon this
than other things. For example,
an easy money situation means that the
Deep Greek and the Coalville railway
bonds will be placed and the work of con-
struction begun east and west from the
city. How much that would mean for
Salt Lake If silver were restored thou
sands of miners would be set to work and
all classes of business would thrive. But
without some betterment in the outside
world [ look for conservative feeling here,
and rather slow real estate movement,
although an improvement over last year.
The resources are all still here and the
attractions of nature are just as bright,
speculation and trade are clogged up. But
the starting of any great enterprise here
will draw people from all the outer cities,
where times are dull. The effort to Sc
cure the copper plant has adver-
tised this city in hundreds OF
places and my correspondence indi-
Gates revival of investment. Therefore,
it would seem to be good policy for Salt
Lake to exert unusual efforts to have en-
fa,. ton HI oh xyf1
prestige and bring men of capital in. Az
compared with last year, the outlook for
the season is encouraging.
A. j. White-I' look to see a considera-
Bile revival of activity in the real estate
market this season, and it is perfectly
safe to say that it will show a marked
improvement over last year.
z. w. Wilson-The real estate market
is becoming more active and all the indl-
cations point to good season.
Wendell Benson think 1t viii be
rather quiet. II the cholera does not
break out we will have fairly good year.
But what we need is outside capital.
T. A. Wickershan-4s have received
great many inquiries from the outside.
If the copper plant goes through it Will
help things along.
j. H. Watts-If the copper plant goes
through smoothly I think we will have
better times, but if the negotiations are
delayed it viii have a bad effect. | have
several deals now pending that will fall
through if the copper plant is not a 60.
A Deep Creek road is what we want to
help things, and I am willing to wager
that one will be commenced within year.
/ have had more inquiry within the last
ten days than for a long time. A number
Of eastern parties have expressed their in
tention of Investing here.
