has again been FOR Utah Sugar COM

Money is reported plentiful at all the
banks, and this is having the result OF
turning the attention Of investors to-
wards stocks which are not regarded as
having reached the pinnacle, and TO this
feeling Is attributed the advance In such
stocks at Utah Sugar common Amalga-
