very prosperous weeks business, but
tho clements do not always aooommo-
date tho people. The rain on Saturday
Kept a number Of shoppers at home,
but nevertheless the days business WAS
not disappointing.
One piece Of good news of the week

effect upon the local banks, except that
he clearances and accounts which have
been tied up here since tho closing by
The earthquake of tho San Francisco
clcaring-ho have been Strengthened
out.

ported In the dry goods line. and taken
all In all, the week was one Of pros

With Real Estate Men.
In the domain OF real estate, business
for the week has been rather quiet.
IN explanation of this It Is stated that
Mt this season OF the year. when time
is shifting from spring to summer, the
real estate business suffers a slight
setback The largest sale during the
week was the lot upon which stands
the Cudahy Packing company's build
ing, corner of Third West and Third
South streets, which was purchased by
Charles Fl. Deere. the plow manufac-
turer, from NJ. H. Walker for s17.7 1877
AS has been announced through The
Tribune. Mr., Deere. 1t Is suspected.
Will. in the near future, invest In much
more Salt Lake City property. He has
his eye on this city and there is no
telling at this time what the extent OF
his purchases Will be before he gets
through.
Small Homes Sought For.
The demand for small homes and
cottages was large during the past
week. and many are the orders that |
have been placed with the real estate
men for such dwellings. The demand
tor small houses to rent has been very |
great, at the present time there being |
practically no vacant houses In the |
city. The city is growing rapidly, there |
having come In this spring more people |
than at any other period of the city's |
history. 1t is evident from the nature |
OF things that in the near future there |
VIII be great many people from San |
Francisco settle here. AT the present |
Time citizens of that city have not re-
covered sufficiently from the great |
shock to look around for other loca-
lions, but in due time they VIII and |
then Salt Lake Will bo benefited. for |
many will settle here.
In Building Circles.
In building circles business has been |
fairly good but the rumored increase |
in the cost of construction has had |
tendency TO discourage not a few. 1T !
is stated that 8 number Of people who |
had intended to build this season are
thinking of postponlng the enterprise
Until later on. when II Is hoped that |
The cost OF material will be less than |
at present Lumber and shingles are
stil high of price and II is safe to say

IN the early summer.
Boat and Shoe Men Happy.
Business among the shoe people dur
ing the past week was excellent. There
was good demand for everything In
stock and as a consequence a great |
many pairs Of shoes were sold 1t is
stated that there has been In the shoe
line an advance over the same week OF |
last year of rs per cent. There has.
however. been an advance In all the
colored leather stocks, and if the mar
ket continues to stlffen 1t is likely there
will be an all-around advance In prices
Flour Is Lower.
Flour dropped 10 cents during the
week and sugar still remains the same,
IL having taken a tumble during the
preceding week. Attention has been at
tracted to the war between the Califor-
MA and Spreckels interests as 1t was
on account OF this trouble that sugar
declined in price. What the outcome
vii be none at this time can guess.
While last weeks business was all
hat could be desired. 1t Is expected that
business this week will be much bet
tcr Summer orders are expected to
ONE in large numbers to add to the
present prosperous condition OF trade
