The annual statement of the New York
Life Insurance company, which appears
in todays Herald, reads like the figures
Of some of the immense departments
Of the government, rather than those
Of business concern of the metropolis.
When in a year like that of 1893, COM
pany can write two hundred and twenty
million dollars new business, and at
the end of such a year have in force
On its books over seven hundred mil
lion dollars of insurance-it speaks vol
umes for its popularity with the. great
nsuring public, and the confidence with
which it is regarded throughout the
country.
Inquiry at the office of the Utah rep
resentatives of the New York Life,
Messrs. Heber j. Grant & Co., ELECTS
the information that of the immense
total of new business written for 1898
Utah contributed the very handsome
sum of 1,250, 900, insurance written and
paid for through the Salt Lake agency.
a total we understand, not approached
by any other company doing business
in the territory The year 1893 was the
first twelve months of Grant & Cos

and they are to be congratulated on
such a telling result in such an unpro-
pitious year.
The New York Life company is a
strong believer in the solidity of Utah
financial institutions. 1t bought $3.50, 600
of Salt Lake city school bonds not long
ago, and Grant & Co. have directed the
attention of President Mccall to the
forthcoming issue of our municipal
bonds.

Mr.. RANAuER BACK FROM DENVER
smcIters' Clearing House Project
StiU UnaettIcd

A Hanauer head of the Hauauer
Smelling company, returned yesterday
from Denver where he has been on
business connected with the proposed
formation of Colorado-Utah smelt-
ers' clearing house. AS yet the matter
IS IN an unsettled state and nothing
may be accomplished in the way of an
interstate agreement for some time. if
ever. Such an organization would. in
the opinion of Mr.. Hanauer. prove a
benefit not Only to the smelling men
bu1 20 the mine owners as well. 1t
would not in any manner work d bard
ship upon the latter or lessen the
amount which they would receive for
their ores.
Speaking of the mining industry in
Colorado the gentleman said the situa-
uon is but little, if any, better than If
IS in Utah and the indications for inn
provement are not hattering. The
mines which produce silver and lead
are either closing down entirely or re-
ducing their forces to a minimum. The
promised business revival has not vet
put in an appearance.

UTAH WOOL BEING SOLD.
Indications Are Not of FIntterine



Reports from Boston and the other
great eastern wool markets are to the
effect that much of the Utah woods
have been sold at the prevailing prices
which are not as satisfactory as the
shippers would like to see, although
there has been an advance over the
fall and early year quotations. The
wool men report that the outlook for
the industry in Utah is not as fatter-
ing as many might suppose. Although
the sheep have Wintered well and the
wool is fairly long and heavy, the herds
are being preyed upon by scab and the
loss will be considerable. This is said
to have been a great year for scab and
it seems impossible to rid the sheep of
the insects. Almost all of the owners
find deficit in their accounts for the
past year now that returns have been
received from the sales.
Shearing Will commence within the
next two weeks in the southern and
middle sections of the territory and
some of the small herds have been
shorn at this early date. The favorite
shearing grounds will be on the Rio
Grande Western and Union Pacific east
! of the Wasatch range.

EASTERN MONEY NOT TAKEN.
Rates of Interest Not Extortionate
but Borrowers are Few.

Foreign money is just now going beg
ging in Salt Lake for lack of takers at
from per cent. to 10 per cent on i'm
proved city property, and the only con-
clusion to be arrived at is that the
property owners are either already too
heavily encountered or are not desir-
ious of investing the money in other
channels of business. Speaking of the
matter yesterday President Bacon, of
the Bank of Salt Lake, stated that his
institution has had on hand for months
an abundance of eastern money which
could be secured at rates of interest
ranging from to 10 per cent, but can
find no takers except occasionally
