BUSINESS NOTES.

The week has witnessed but few deals
In local stocks. almost the only move
ment being In Deseret Savings bank,
which sold at $3.50 Utah Sugar pre-
ferred. from s9.45 to $3.50, and Idaho
Sugar from 81 to slio5, Brokers re-
port that investors are beginning to get
their eyes open to the fact that most
of the dividend payers have reached
the bottom, and there is considerable
inquiry commencing to be heard.
While our money markets are more
Independent than ever Of eastern condl-
tions. lenders still keep a close watch
ON the money market In New York:
The fact that the war has not stihened
interest rates there, and that the IN
surance losses IN Baltimore VIII be less
than expected, have both contributed
TO keep things easy IN the eastern mon
ey market. Those best Informed say
that this Is bound to have loosening
effect on lenders here later on. Follow
ing are the latest quotations.

That Alone, 1t Is Said, Prevents
A Revival Of Business
Immediately.

Temporary Advantage Of the War is
Felt Ia Market for Staple
Commodities.

D. g. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade this week win say:
lnclement weather alone prevents a
definite revival Of business. Outside
work Is retarded and traffic impeded "a
an extent that cannot be accurately
measured, but Is obviously sufficient to
neutralize the favorable effect Of many
encouraging factors. while winter
wheat is threatened, although not yet
definitely Injured, and early farm prep
arations must be postponed. Several
leading branches OF manufacture are
Increased In active capacity, and thou
sands OF interior buyers are placing
liberal orders at the principal cities.
The temporary advantages OF the war
are felt In the market for staple COM
modities. notably foodstuffs, but while
this helps the domestic producer, It
harms Il much larger number by en-
HANGING prices to home consumers.
There Is little friction between employ
ers and wage earners, except regarding
the bitumlnous scale. but the cause of
Industrial peace has lost its foremost
champion.
Despite Interruptions by storms
railway earnings thus far reported for
February were only per cent smaller
than a year ago, when there was no
much severe weather. Foreign trade
