Two Opposing Factors Were al
Work.
CHRISTMAS TRADE GOOD
HOW SLUMP IN THE EAST Is
REGARDED.
Conservative Business Men Here Are
Watching the Wall Street Situa-
ton Very Carefully-Fear Utah
Investments May Be Affected
Through Sympathy.

Two strong factors operated on local
trade the past week One of these was
the demand for Christmas goods; the
other the uneasiness caused by the dan
gerous financial crisis in the east
On this latter point conservative men
care to say little, but the feeling is gen.
eral that the tremendous liquidation IN
industrial stocks in New York is bound
to affect investments in Utah, and If,
as many fear. this liquidation should go
farther and develop into a general
squeeze, its effects would be very seri-
ously felt in local business and indus
try. Many of the best financiers OF Salt
Lake. who won high regulations for
conservatism in past years, are watch
ing events in the east with the greatest
care.
Big Christmas Trade.
The Christmas trade crowded every
thing else of a business nature into the
BACKGROUND during all of the past year.
The buying was never SO heavy. Peo-
pie buy when they have money, and
at Christmas time they take little
thought for the future. More and bet
fer goods have gone out this year than
ever before, and merchants are CORE
spondingly happy. The weather. which
was unusually good for shopping, added
much TO this result.
Bank clearings show slight falling
off for the week, something that has
occurred but seldom in the year. Yes
terday they were S354, 390.46, compared
with 1925, 10S.90 for the corresponding
day of last year. For the week they
were $25S4 1904, compared with 81
6iOSS5.74 for the corresponding week of
last year.
Dull Stock Market.
The local stock market had a dull
week. The prices of the best stocks
remained where they were, despite the
big slump on Wall street. 1t is worthy
of note that Wall street was the only
spot in the country bowling calam.
ity," while all other places were en-
joy:ng prosperity. Few stocks were
sold: SIS, 900 worth of street railway
bonds were brought in from the east
and sold to local parties. Following are
the quotations:
