dItions In Utah for the year 1905 have
been very gratifying to all mercantile
enterprises. The weather conditions
have also been favorable, especially AZ
compared with last year-durins the
winter and early spring months OF 1907
both wholesale and retail lines In thu
country districts were retarded. The
wholesalers report a large increase In
sales varying from 10 to 10 per cent IN
excess OF last years business. The re-
tail trade shows large gains also. The

THE INCREASE IN
BANK CLEARINGS.

.-T~~ HI bank clearings Of the current
year as given in tabulated form
on this page are instructive as
showing The marked ircrease In
the blood flowing through the local
financial veins. The ady9ace OF tfty-
two millions over last year. as against
a falling on OF twenty-ax millions be-
tween 1904 and 1893, Nay be regarded
as remarkable. and Is liable to attract
wide attention and comment. Last year
was regarded as an unfortunate one IN
that the money market was suffering
from the slump in the mining stock
market, but Il was not believed tina!
the effects would eXtaud into this year.
and 1t Is apparent that they ala not.
With the restoration OF cOnhIeace,
and the settling down OF the STOCK mat

transactions OF the clearing house be-
gan to show steady and very crafty
Ing increase and the figures Kept climb

of $3.50, 900 ,0QO or S2io,O0O,0OO is not
unreasonable to expect. one cause
for the large figures was the
sale OF the city railway bonds held by
j. S. Cameron 70 local banking houses,

Tag n taiJ city. and IL fact tsrooghor;
all The northern part OF the state, all
this has stimulated trade IN all lines OF
commercial activity in this business
center, and money has In consequences
moved very actively.
Inquiry among the banks and Of the
manager OF the clearing house devel-
ops the fact, as indicated above, that
there has been general Increase
among all lines Of the local business
world which in the aggregate nave
Jumped up big sum. The clearing !
house figures, 1t is claimed in some
quarters, are not as good records as
they might he, owing TO the fact that |
most OF the banks carry balances oyer
from day TO day sometimes rather
heavy balances, instead Of collecting up |
close at the end Of every day what 9TH |
er banks are owing them. To this |
may be added also cashiers checks,
which are no more actual cash than
the balances are. But then, this same |
method OF doing business has been In |
vogue from time immemorlal," and |
was no different this year from last.
There is only one bank In the city that
makes It practise to collect daily all Of
the balances due IT, aud the reason
given Is that IN case any one bank
should get into trouble, the balances
due from It TO other banking institu-
tons might not be collectabe. How
ever, there has been but one case Of
this kind the Bank Of Salt Lake. But

Manufacturers i'm New York.

Mr.. and Mrs. Il. W. Whitehead have
returned from New York, where Mr..
Whitehead went to attend the big !um-
Der conference between the southern
manufacturers and nothern wholesalers
and yardmen.
Mr.. Whitehead reports that the
meeting was largely attended and that
much good was accomplished to Doth
interests. He says that certain re-
forms inaugurated six months ago are
progressing finely. What was perhaps
the most important thing done and
which will accrue greatly to the I'D
vantage of the southern manufacturers
was the endorsement of the 1908
grading and inspection rules as origi-
nally advocated. The Southern Lum-
Der Journal. of this city, heartily en-
dorsed the adoption of these rules.
Aside from business, those atten1tn z

nothing availed Death dogged at his
