GENERAL ADVANCES IN PRICES.
Cereals, Provisions, Cotton, Steel and
Pig Irou Rule Higher.


Bradstreet's views the business situa-
ton thus: winter storms and holiday
have interfered with wholesale demand
and distribution, but later clear, cold
weather is a compensating feature, induc-
ing heavy retail business in seasonable
goods. In general business circles most
developments have been favorable, nota-
BILE among which might be mentioned gen
eral advances in prices of cereals, provis-
ions, groceries, cotton, steel and pig iron,
the latter chiefly at Eastern and Southern
points; continued heavy general export
trade, a better tone in the market for
hides and leather, more tirmness in cot
ton goods and active stock speculation all
of which are reflected in the heavy bank
clearing total. Unfavorable features are
few, prominent among which is the con-
tinued dullness at wholesale of wool and
wooden goods. The movement of wheat
and other breadstuffs continues large.

Nephi, May superintendent Joe
Young of the o. S. L. came down last
evening to confer with the people here
on the very important question of pas
senger and mail traffic. 1t was an
nounced late in the afternoon that the
division superintendent would be down
and he wanted to meet the "kickers"
all in a bunch. He met some OF them,
but the city hall was not large enough
to hold but a small part of those who
have a grievance on account of the out
rageous conditions brought on by the
taking off of the morning train. The
whole community is in rebellion.
superintendent Young explained that
it was the desire of the Short Line
management to do all in its power to
satisfy it's patrons, but it was impos-
sible to run two passenger trains daily
to and from this point. 1t was finally
decided that if but one train was to be
had, the morning train would be
preferable. Therefore, commencing
next Sunday, Nephi will have a morn
ing, but no evening train. This will re-
quire people having business in Salt
Lake City to remain two nights and a
day in the city. Some may con-
slider this an improvement, but we
think many will not. The meeting was
harmonious, but no doubt the company
will be asked to do better than this.

Today, in the bosom of mother earth
will be laid to rest the mortal remains of
Mrs. Phoebe Ann Robbins, one of the old
residents of this city. She first saw the
light of day in New Jersey, in the year
1917. She passed away on Wednesday
evening, the 4th inst, at the ripe old age
of Sc Many years of her life were full
of stormy experiences.
She, with her husband, John Robbins,
deceased, sailed in the jlmous old ship
Brooklyn, around Cape form, for Califor-
MIA, in 1916. She burieu two children in
the depths of the Atlantic ocean and gave
birth to one on the Pacific ocean. She

erous and sympathetic. She never swerv-
ed from the line OF what she believed to
be true, and she accorded to others the

marriage, and | have always addressed
her as 'Auntie Robbins From my heart

departure. Still. we have this hope and
consolation: we shall meet her a-ain
some day-some time-in brighter and
better world
Her life was one of purity and useful
ness, and like the leaves in the fall of
the year drop gently to earth. SO did she.
after full round of seasons, late in au-

Rest in peace, gentle soul, until we
meet again in that land of eternal spring.
