YEAR GOES OUT
WITH TRADE. DULL.
Bad Weather Adds to After
Holiday Quiet.
STOCK TAKING Is THE ORDER
COMMERCIAL STOCKS ARE HIGH
GOOD CLEARINGs.

The last week Of the old year was a
ouH one for he Salt Lake merchants
Inc regular after holiday duIlness pre-
vailed; 1t was accentuated becausezof
me oao Weather-sloppy underfOot raw
ana cold overhead. These conditions
made II bad for shopping and most of
the stores wore a deserted look in
strange contrast with the crowds of
eager buyers of the week preceding
Christmas. The lack of business was
taken advantage of by the merchants
ana IN every sore of importance in the
CITY Stock-taking was the order of the
day. This was preliminary to taking
the annual Inventories. A good part of
the coming seek win be devoted TO
TINS important branch of the years
work, and Uhen . new start will be
made for the campaign of 1865.
The only feature of the local situation
during the week just closed was the
general satisfaction expressed on all
sides over The business of the year. and
more especially over the unusually
large holiday trade. Leading mer-
chants were not prepared to give out
dehnlte statements as to the volume of
business for the year or the exact con-
dition of trade at the close of the year;
but all wore an ah of confidence that
told of a successful year closed and Of
happy anucip9tions for the year to
come.
Real estate and building were also
dull during the week. No big transfers
Of property were recorded, although II
is known that A number OF large trans
actions are under way. The year closes
with some disappointment felt among
the real estate dealers. At the same
time it is thought that the settlement of

Stock Prices Rule High
Local com n srciai stocks were lifcfess
throughout the week. Few sales Of
sugar stocks were all that rescued the
situation from an appearance of stag
nation Prices ruled higher in almost
every instance than for the week be
fore, and the prices at the close of the
week were the highest recorded. This
is accounted for in part by the near
approach Of the dividend-paying period
and by the reports current that sew

the banks, intend TO pay special
dividends in addition to the regular
