WOOL MONEY
FROM UTAH CLIP.
II is Coming in From Sheepmen
And Being Deposited in
Local Banks.
WITH HOUSE AND LOT MEN.
Utah Lumber Orders Sidr-Trackcd by
Northwestern Mills for Urgent
San Francisco Orders.

General trade conditions IN this city
for the past week show an Improvement
Y over those Of the week previous,
The money market continues to IN
crease In easiness with an influx OF
money from the sale of wool, This mon
ey Is being freely deposited by the sheep
growers. and as good prices have been
secured, that industry Is regarded as
In a satisfactory condition.
The zion's Savings Bank & Trust
company disposed of seven small par
GELS OF property the past week which
brought the bank $4,000. and the Utah
Savings Bank a. Trust company finally
decided on a seven-story building for
Its new home, the building and the
site representing $4,000. The bank
clearings have got down onto more
strictly balance settling basis, and the
daily difference between the clcarincs
of the present week and those OF the
same week a year ago is by no means
ne marked as last winter. The present
manager of the Clearing House short
ly after his appointment, intimated that
there would before long be less carrying
over Of balances, and the present fig
ures would indicate that he has kept
his word,
REALTY, RENTS AND BUILDINGS.
The real estate men report many un-
completed sales which they anticipate

that IL takes tino, and on occasions
much WEAKNESS and vexation OF spirit
While there Is lively demand for rent
ed houses, there are so many In pro-
cess of erection that the chances arc
good for a full supply In the next 90
days. and any one who wants n good
house need not be 90 any great stress
because OF any supposed stringency.
Real estate men estimate that nearly
1000 dwellings have been built In this
city in the last two years. The great
8st call Ia for houses OF four to nix
Eooms at rentals OF from SIS to $50 per
month. There IL a strong demand for
store room, and desirable locations Are
snapped up AS fast as they become
empty.
The building at Garfield continues
with undlminished steadiness, and the
space between the houses west OF the
city, and the line OF houses extending
eastward from the point OF the noun
tain Is not so broad as It was. There
Is more talk than ever. OF an electric
limo between Salt Lake and Black
Rock.
FRISCO OVER UTAH
The lumber men regard the sltua-
ton rather obviously They say the
northwestern mills have given the San
Francisco trade the preference over
all other calls, no matter what the
prior Ming OF the orders may have
been. and have given their agents In
this city notice to take no more or
ders. Then the situation Is compl-
Gated by the scarcity OF cars which arc
called OF into other carrying lines, The
result Is that the scarcity which Is
usually felt towards the end of the
building season, II beginning to be felt
now In the wholesale trade, and lum-
Der Is going 20 be harder to get this
year than ever. However, the local
yards are pretty we'll stacked up, so
that It viii be some time before the
retail trade Is affected.
DEMAND GOOD HERE.
The hardware men appear to be the
most jubllant OF any of the tradesmen
titi' N'NNt niiu i'pNil HfUNN utlnHlllN
from all sides aud for all kinds OF
things. The demand Is particularly
heavy In harnesses scrapers and
dredging material. The construction
camps all over the western country
have now opened up their spring work
In full on the return of settled and
open spring weather, and the farmers
having completed their early spring
work, are now letting part of their
team equipments out for grade and
canal work. which occasions the ex-
tended demand for harnesses and
dredging goods. Tho hardware men
md II hard work TO supply the un-
usual demand for these two classes
OF goods, and the saddlery DEPART
nents are running on moro than fun
time.
Then the contractors have begun to
rush work on new buildings all over
town. and are therefore calling for a
wide assortment Of builders hardware
Agricultural implements are beginning
TO be sent out In goodly quantities. and
the dealers are in high spirits over
the outlook.
IN DRY GOODS STORES.
The dry goods men report a gratify-
Ing condition I'm the trade which has
picked up wonderfully during tho past
week, on account Of the clear. fine
weather, and the ladies arc hocking
into the stores 10 purchase gloves,
waists, suits, hats. underwear, para
soils, perfumery, hosiery, etc, so that
the divers and sundry articles OF fc-
male apparel are being disposed of
IN large and profitable lots. The trade
IN hats Is partic ularly Of large dlmen.
sions, and the fact that prices In this
line are always stiff, does not seem to
make any difference. So the clerks
and salespeople are busy all dny,
where In past weeks they have had
little to do Of morning.
MANY BUYING SHOES.

ter condition perhaps than ever before |
The retailers ara active In meeting |
the steady demand, and md a ready |

ness In canvas goods Is beginning 10 |
show up. The making OF spring goods |
Ia now being completed and an signs |
point to busy autumn trade for the |
wholesale trade.
Eastern Jobbers are well cleaned out |
OF spring and summer goods. Dealers
report that the high cost of leather Is |
uniting the interests OF the shoe trade
In gratifying way. as the manufac.
turers ar controlled by the cost Of
making, 40 that their prices are fixed |
price cutting IS rare.
