MAY OPEN IN SALT LAKE CITY
United Cigar Stores Agent Is Look,
ing for a Good Location
Here.

1t is stated with some show of au-
thority that the United Cigar Stores
company will invade the Salt Lake ter
ritory. An agent Of the company in
spected some premises during the week
and said that this time the company
meant business. The company has been
talking of opening a branch here for
the past two years, hut has not yet
gone so far as to negotiate location. 1t
has been one of the rules of this COM
pany not TO open up in any town where
they cannot get an Al site.
In some of the western towns which
the United Cigar Stores company has
invaded they have met with deter
mined opposition from the labor inter-
ests, and in some places this opposition
has been instrumental in keeping them
from getting a good location. This was
the case in Minneapolis and in Butte.
The company makes a speciality of
price cutting on all lines of cigars,
cigarettes and tobaccos, the larger
amount of business, they claim, making
up for the smaller profit. The concern
now has stores in all of the larger cities
ia the United States,
Considerable opposition will develop
TO their coming here, as some of the
larger tobacco stores handle a great
amount of trust goods and will resent
an invasion of their field by a concern
so closely connected with the tobacco
trust.

GOOD YEAR FOR TOMATOES
Utah Crop Large and There Will Be
Many More Canned Than
Usual.

There is a great crop of tomatoes this
year according to reports from all parts
of Utah. Not only is there good crop,
but the fruit is of an exceptionally fine
quality. A few years ago reports came
in that there would be a great crop,
but while there were plenty of beauti-
full and promising vines they bore but
little fruit. That is not the case this
year. but the actual crop will be big.
This Is a welcome announcement to
the jobbers who have been for the past
two or three weeks trying to get the
Gamers to give them quotations on
canned tomatoes and have been turned
down. Some of the local jobbers still
have fair-sized stocks on hand, amount
ing in all in the city to some thousands
of cases, with perhaps the same amount
in Ogden, so there will be no scarcity
until the new pack arrives. The price
is now a little stiff, but offerings dur
ing the last week of stocks no one sus-
pected were on hand eased matters
slightly.
There will probably be a big pack
this fall. The pack last year fell off
considerably, being only 10000 cases for
Utah, compared with 100000 cases in
1904. This year, according to a prom
inent Gamer who was in town yester.
day, there will be fully 100000 cases
put up. TheFUtah article is good
enough to sell anywhere, and the out
side demand is greater than in past
years. Not so many will be canned in
California and this will help the market
for the" Utah output.
