A proof that times are improving. in
Salt Lake at least, is forthcoming from
the testimony Of the merchants gem
orally that their Christmas trade is
much heavier than it was at this sea-
son a year ago. People are Investing
more largely in presents and are cali
ing for more expensive articles to be-
stow upon their friends than usual.
There is also more demand for the.
necessities of life, as well as the lux
uries. The store windows are exceed

posed to view in so tempting and arr

The Worlds fair flavor was entirely
