A boy 10 years old suddenly appeared on
Monroe avenue, near Randolph street, the
other forenoon with rattrap held high in
his hand. The trap contained rattan old
veteran-who had probably eaten 20 times
his weight in Michigan cheese. For years
and years he had been too fly for those who
sought his destruction, but the pitcher had
gone to the well once too often. He was
squealng and squirming about, but there
was no one to pity. The boy had scarcely
gained the street when there was rush for
him, and men and boys were heard shout.

the boy fell down and lost his trap. Some

In accordance with the call Of the
comptroller of the currency. the ma
tional banks all over the United States
have just published statements show
ing their condition at the close OF bust
ness on the 18th day of December.
AS is always the case the institutions
of Utah make splendid showing and
in no part of the country are the ma
tional banks in better comparative
condition. Without exception an in
crease is reported. not only in depos-
its but also in the general business.
The statements compare most favor
ably with those of other similar insti-
tutions throughout the nation. 1t is
anticipated that within the next few
days the secretary of the territory will
make his fourth 1894 call for the publ
cation OF the reports of the condition
of the state banks of the territory
These will likewise make splendid
showings.
Some idea may be gained of the
amount OF business now being trans
acted by the banks Of this territory
by an inspection Of even the few re-
ports published in response to the call
of the government official. According
10 these statements the total resources
Fof the four national banks in the city
aggregate s4,472, 1850, while the total
for the three like institutions in Og-
den is S1,266, 1867. The Salt Lake
banks have total of s., 15S, 709.45 in
volved in loans and discounts, while
the Ogden banks have $3.50, 646.99. The
cash held by the Salt Lake institutions
including, of course, the amount due
from approved reserve agents, totals
$3.50, 93S.S5, while those of Ogden have
$249,SS4.1S in their vaults and held 10y

AGAIN MAKING LOANS.
Eastern Corporations and Syndicates
Looking Towards Utah.

After holding off for the period Of a
month the Mortgage Trust Company of
Pennsylvania has again entered the
Utah field for loans and its local agents
yesterday received instructions to ac-
cept as many requests for money as
were made, in the event, of course, that
the security offered was ample. This
company has already a vast amount Of
capital invested in this territory and
its faith in Utah seems to be unbound
ed. This is not the only eastern or
foreign institution which has unfalter-
ing faith in the territory, for there are
many which have recently appointed
Utah agents and sent on great sums
of moneys for investment in either city
or farm loans.
Loan agents are complaining Of the
lack OF borrowers and estimate the de-
crease at fully so per cent. Those that
are left seem to have an idea that their
property should be purchased and in
consequence the loaning business is not
what it used TO be. Interest rates on
first class property are away down and
loans have been recently made in this
city on Main street realty at per cent
The general run of rates is from per
cent to 10 per cent. Local institutions
have no difficulty is placing their sur
plus money at from to 10 per cent.

LIVE STOCK BUSINESS INCREASED.
Comparisons of Movements Mt the
Chicago Stock Yards.

Business at the Union Stock Yards
of Chicago during the year just closing
show a material increase over that of
1885, both in numbers and values. The
Inter-Ocean has just compiled Stats
tics for the year, with the exception of
the last ten days, and makes compar-
isons with 1893. That paper says that
in considering these figures it should
be remembered that the terminal
charges turned many southern ship
ments from Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, St. Louis and other points, and
the great strike also exercised vast
influence in reducing the volume of
business.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks,
however, with the exception Of the re-
ceipts of cattle and calves, the Chi
cago record up to Dec. 20 exceeds that
of 1893 in receipts, while the shipments
of 1894 cattle, hogs and horses is also
beyond that of 1898. The cars received
and sent out in 1894 are far in excess
of the number used in 1893. The re-
ceipts are as follows for 1894: Cattle,
2,93O,s calves, 161, 574; hogs, 1852, JOB;
