WHEAT;
FLOUR HIGH
@-
Shortage Of Cereal Makes State
Importer.
FARMERS QUIT THE CROP
THERE rs MORE MONEY IN
OTHER PRODUCTS.

n HE people Of Utah are facing an
entirely new situation in regard to
wheat and flour. For the first
time in many years, in the closing
hours of the old year, the state is an
importer instead Of en- exporter Of the
staple. The causes that led up to a
shortage so soon after the harvest are
not altogether the shortness of the
crop, which was the smallest in years.
but to a lack Of foresight on the part
OF some of those directly interested in
the -four trade. Though the yield Of
wheat in most sections of the state
was smaller than usual, owing to a
lack of water and the extreme heat
experienced while the grain was ma
turing, and also to the presence Of
grasshOppers in places which in former
years were heavy producers, the short
age was aggravated by the smallness
Of the acreage sown to the plant. Z.
E. Rich, the veteran miller and dealer,
in speaking Of the situation, gave il as
his opinion that the amount of wheat
grown in Utah in the future would
never be as heavy as in the past. His
reasons were that the farmers were
turning their attention to the grow
ing of other products which were more

which places the value of the crop Of
1901 at 81, 562S5 in this form.
This does not. however, represent
the total amount received by those in
the industry for their product. The
object of the silk commission, as has
been stated, is to teach the proper
method of Keeling, and as all Of the
product reaches the market in the form
Of reeled silk, it is estimated that Col
pounds of marketable silk has been
produced, which, at the average value
of 81 per pound which figure is con-
sidered fair, the total value is brought
up to S2,6O4. or 81 a pound for the
years output
OF course these figures are based
upon returns already in. but in the
opinion of the state officers very little
if any will be reported for bounty be-
yCnd this date.
Glasses of instruction in reeling are
now being held, under the direction of
Mrs. Margaret A. Caine, the secretary
| OF the commission. The two largest Of
/ these are at Spanish Fork, in Utah
county. and at the Office of the silk
/ commission, in the city and county
building in this city. The Spanish
! Fork class is under the care of Miss
/ Packard and the Salt Lake class is
/ under the instruction Of Miss Zundel.

These figures do not take into cOnsid-
Grafton the transfer of the Salt Lake

Power company, or the mining trans

business has been Of healthy growth
and has never once approached to the

the general attractiveness and wealth

The wealth that is yearly coming
from the mines and from other pursuits
is being put into Salt Lake realty as
a safe investment. The city's advan-

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-12-29

THERE has been a steady increase
in the volume of real estate bust
ness during the year.
The activity in building has been the
greatest in several years, amounting in
the aggregate to 81, 426. $50, and has had
its effect upon the market as the quest
for home sites has increased according
to the dealers fully 80 per cent over
that Of 1900. Another reason for the
general advance in the price is the Ger
taiuty Of the early completion of at
least one and probably two railroads
to the coast, with the consequent open
ing Of a vast territory which will nat
urally become tributary to Salt Lake.
The possible building Of short route
south Of the lake by the Southern Pa
ciffc, thereby making this city the
eastern terminal of the road has also
had its effect. Again, the feeling Of
surety that the United States govern
ment will turn its attention to irrigat-
ing the arid lands of the intermountain
country and the consequent increase
of population has increased the import
ance of Salt Lake from a speculative
standpoint, and had its effect upon the
market All these causes, added to the
natural growth Of the city, had the eff
feet of making a lively season for the
dealers. Z. w. Wilson and others de-
clare that this advance in realty has
been fully IS per cent upon all kinds Of
real estate, while in some instances the
increase has been nearer to 25 per cent.
Inquiry at the abstract offices
brought out the fact that to a larger
extent than in any other year during
the last decade the business done was
bona fide business transactions. BY this
it is meant that the number of fore
closures have decreased These forced
transfers have been lessened during the
year 50 per cent from that OF 1900.
Increase Of Gales.
The number of sales has also in
creased according to the most conserv-
alive dealers % per cent. among them
being many sales where the consider
alton has run into the thousands
Among these may be mentioned the
sale Of the Gardo house, on the corner
Of Brigham and State streets. to Mrs
Holmes for $4,000; the purchase by
Mayor Thompson of a piece Of prop
erty on Main street, between First ano
Second South streets. for 100000; the
