They Arc Anticipating Marked Adj
vance I'm Prices.
1t is now two weeks since there has
been any upward movement in the
price of sugar and, while confidently
expecting that there will yet be a de-
cided change, local dealers can not ac-
count for the slowness with which the
sugar producers are moving in the
matter of prices. The last advance
was of 1919 cents, and in the fear that
it was but a stepping stone. the local
jobbers loaded up very heavily, and as
result they are now, with a few ex-
ceptions, very much overstocked. The
ilrst cost to the wholesalers is now
S6.25 and they are selling at $685., a
very small margin. This condition of
affairs is not expected to last very
long, however, the indications being
that there will be a sharp advance with
IN the next two weeks. with a continu-
ally increasing first cost. ri

ltely, it is thought that the only dam

What the building Has Cost.

The officials of both the city and coun-
ty are making some of the preliminary
arrangements for the removal to the
joint building which is SO rapidly APP
preaching completion 1t is expected
that the county collector will be ena-
bled to get in to his new offices by the
latter part of the month and the other
officials are to follow closely after. The
county has the large. end of the horn,
probably by reason of the push and en-
ergy of its officials. For certain it is
that the south half of the magnificent
structure is considerably nearer compile
ton than the north end. This will en-
time before the city offices are ready
for occupancy Great progress is being
made all over the building, however, and
every day the approaching end becomes
october all of the officials of both coun-
~ and city can be in their new quarters.
The suggestion was made yesterday that
in view of the fact that the Pioneer Ii
brary in which every citizen should take
an interest, will soon lose it's present
quarters through lack of funds with which
10 pay rent, that the city and county
officials give it. one of the many rooms
in the joint building for a permanent
home. There will be number of rooms
which could be easily spared. The base
ment would be a splendid place for the
library and the placing of room at the
disposal of the board of control would
be very graceful act on the part of
those in authority.
Up to last night there had been ex-
pended upon the building and grounds
the sum of 1914, 63194. and still there are
many contracts which have not been paid
and many workmen who will have to be
remunerated for work which will last
three or four weeks yet. This amount
represents but one-half of the cost and
the total cost to date has therefore been
S749, 26S. IS. 1t is estimated that It will re-
quire in the neighborhood of 100000 more
to finish and furnish the building and
get the grounds into the shape contem-
plated by the mayor.

wiz Now Rush Operations.

The sewer contractors have determined
to increase their forces and make every
effort to complete the system within the
specihed time, DECEMBER LIST being the
outside limit There still remains in the
neighborhood of 1900 feet of uncomplet-
ed work, and of this amount over three
quarters has not yet received a scratch
on the surface of the ground. During
the past week even less progress was
made than during the previous week,
this being due in measure, to the con-
tinued storms, in addition to the slow
ness of the excavators, upon whose heels
the concrete men have been treading for
the past two weeks. Contractor Wilker-
son stated last evening that it is their
intention to put on fully $50 men when
work is resumed on Monday morning, and
rush operations with all the speed in
their power. 1t was thought yesterday
afternoon that operations would be con-
tinued hereafter on Sunday, but this was
frowned down by the chairman of the
board of public works, and the engineer
and the forces will attend church today,
if the men so desire.

Grantsville, Utah, is in luck. That
enterprising town is in for a boom.
Lehi with its sugar factory is to have a
rival.
The fame of the arid lands in the
vicinity of Grantsville is extensive.
Numerous men of capital have over
looked the broad acres and remarked,
What a pity that water cannot be
used to reclaim these idle market gar
dens." Locators galore have filed upon
homesteads, prescriptions, timber claims
and desert entries. But that is all. No
houses were built. no fences erected,
no potatoes planted, no wheat sown.
All this is to be changed. This time
next year will witness a great change.
The alkali desert, while not blossoming
as rose. will loom up with the verdant
tops of the sugar beet.

Denver and Salt Lake.

Thh United; States Census Report
shows that the city of Denver had
mortgage Indebtedness in force Janu-
airy l, 1890, Of S42, 361, S73, and that the
city of Salt Lake had, at the same
time. a mortgage debt of 1901, 531. Salt
Lake had a population at that time
approximately $4,000. Denver had then
about three times the poulation of Salt
Lake, that is to say, although Denver
was but three times larger than Salt
Lake, it owed over forty times as much
money. 1t is safe to say that Denver
and Salt Lake sustain today about the
same relative relation to the creditor
class that they did in 1890. The figures
given are important in connection with
the question, as to which of the two
cities, Denver or Salt Lake, now offer
the most inviting field to capital Here
tofore, it was all Denver but in face
of this rerna rkable comparative show
ing, will it not be, hereafter, all Salt
Lake. Business is resuming, and the
creak of the bolts is heard as the vaults
are unlocked Speculation is conmenc-
ing-great stacks of money are being
liberated from their long confinement,
and will soon enter into circulation.
Capital is looking to the west; and
looking to the west, how can it fail to
see that Salt Lake, with it's splendid
credit, it's opened reservations and it's
all the dignity of statehood, is the most
inviting field for investment. Why,
there isn't any doubt Nabout the future
there. This city is going to take on a
growth Of marvellous roportions-there

Double What They Were This Tim,

Salt Lakes associated bank ciearings

and. as has been the case for several

Manager Hawley of the clearing

INSURANCE BUSINESS sHRrNKAGE.
This District Has Sustained the
Heaviest LOSSES


Insurance men have been speculating
upon the probable shrinkage of bust
ness on the Pacific coast during the
first six months of 1894, as compared
with the same period of 1893, and when
the returns did finally come they were
surprised at the good showing, not
withstanding the fact that this district
leads in the decrease ratio, business
having fallen away III per cent. while
the general average of the three Pa
cific Insurance union districts was 12
per cent. Acting in response to numer-
Gus inquiries from underwriters the
general manager of the Pacific Insur-
ance union has just prepared a full
statement of the business written dur
ing the period named and the shrink
age. 1t makes the following showing:
District A-California, Nevada and
Arizona--1S93, 81 66S, 1854. 81; 1894. $685.
94S.69; loss, S274, 915.92, or 10 per cent.
District B-Oregon and Washington
1888. $1,147. 1880: 1894, 81, 600, 959 II:
loss, $l46, 1913 or Il per cent
District C-Utah, Montana and Idaho
1888. $3.50. 500 so: 1894. s54s, sol. 80; loss.
$116,94S.21; or IL per cent.
This places the total business written
during 1898 at $4,491, 1921. and for 1894,

Two Important Questions.

At the Tuesday nights meeting the
council will have on for consideration at
least two important questions, if the pres
ent programme is carried out. One of
them will be the street lighting matter
and the other the confirmation of the nom
ination of DR.. Daily to be health COM
missioner. Couf Gilman O'Meara promises
to bring the question of lighting up from
last meeting and the indications are that
the action of the council will be favorable.
1t is said, however, that the nomination
of Dr. Daily is not likely to share the
same fate. The opponents of the doctor
are making every effort in their power to
secure a majority of the members of the
council on their side of the fence and
are using one or two arguments against
the nlayorS choice.

Advice $500.

Here is a ggestion-you are going
to have a home of your own sooner or
later-you realize that now you can
buy ground cheaper than you will be
able to hereafter; but now you have
not sufficient means to build your
house, SO you are putting off making
the move. Why not go to popperton
place, pick out your location, and Sc
cure your lot this fall. Then, you can
plant out your trees, and put in your
lawn; and next spring perhaps, you
will feel able to build your house. We
will sell you frontage, now, cheaper
than we will next spring. There is no
doubt about this. There are too many
signs of a revival in Salt Lake to
justify any man, even the worst old
ichthyosaurus in town, in saying that
property will never be cheaper here
than it is today.
