Salt Lake In Better Fix Than Wall
Street.
BIG INCREASE IN TRADE
SHOWN By THE INCREASED
BANK CLEARINGS.
Nc Radical Change In the Business
Situation-Local Stocks Were
Dull and Trading Light-Decided
Improvement Noticed In Real Es-
tate-Important Deals Pending.

There have been no radical changes
in the local business situation since last
week. The payment CT taxes has eff
and is not to be considered a regular
factor. While there is nothing spectac-
ular about mercantile business the fact
remains that the volume is greater
than ever before in the history of the
city, and the complaint continues to go
up that orders cannot be filed in the
east for goods to satisfy the local de-
mands.
Abundance of Money.
A fact worthy of note, too, is that
while there is a money famine in the
east, while a financial panic has been
threatening for weeks past and the
clouds over Wall street were growing
every day blacker until the government
through Secretary Gage stepped forth
to buy s25,000.000 worth of bonds, and
thus avert the disaster. Salt Lake has
more money than she knows how to
handle and interest is lower than ever
before. 1t is a fact. too. that of the
millions of eastern money loaned at
exhorbitant rates of interest on Salt
Lake realty during the boom times,
compare lively little remains and on
that little the interest is materially
reduced. There never has. been a time
when the city as whole was in as
solid financial condition as it is now,
and it grows better every day.
Gain In Clearings.
The bank clearings yesterday were
SAB, 5S2.e0 compared with s497, 1868. For
the week they were 50, 033. 360.56, COM
pared with $2,609, Sc. 1t is remark
able that the clearingS should make
such a showing at this particular time
when it is remembered that a year ago
mining stocks were having the greatest
boom in local history, the business
averaging 100000 day. The fact that
the clearings are now larger than then
despite the fact that mining stocks are
now very dull, speaks volumes for the
activity in other lines of business.
Local Stocks Dull.
1t was dull week In local stocks
from the fact that very few local Sc
curities are offered for sale.
