houses, with few to be had. The scare.
| ity of small houses for renting purposes.
! tho real estate men assert, has never
been as marked in the history of the
| city as it is at this time. 1t is pointed
ont that there are many instances where
two families have rented one house,
| The demand for houses is not confined
| TO any one section OF the city, but it
| is general
Ii is declared that many men Of
money of Montana are turning their
attention to Salt Lake City as field
of investment. There have been many
| inquiries for local property from Mon
tana people. Real estate men declare
that Montanans are thoroughly alive
TO the opportunities presented in Salt
Lake real estate, and that the latter
are ready to buy up all realty that they
can get hold of,
Building Situation Improved.
Local business men are much pleased
with the Improvement in the building
situation. Brick is much easier to get
at present than it has been for some
time past Orders are now being filed
by the local brick yards, and building
operations, which have been greatly re.
tarded by the scarcity of brick, are
now progressing satisfactorily. The
demand for lumber continues strong,
and local dealers are finding it task
to keep UP with the heavy flood OF
orders. Fir uppers advanced So during
the last week, as n result of the grow
ing scarcity of that material,
The approach or cool weather finds
the wholesale dealers Of practically all
lines experiencing the difficulty, which
always characterizes the opening of
fall, OF getting their new stock of sup
plies on time. This is especially notice
able III connection with the dry goods
trade, and dealers fear that unless con-
ditions improve they will sustain losses
through the non-arrival of their orders.
The retail dealers Of all lines of trade
report that the last week was an ex-
ceedingly good one for them. Naturally
the millinery, women and children 8
and men, S clothing establishments re-
port heavy sales for the last week, in
consequence of the cool weather. The
dealers of these lines say that they
have found ii necessary, as n result Of
the increased population, TO lay in a
larger stock this year than ever before,
and many of the establishments are be-
ing enlarged as much as possible to
accommodate the necessary large
amount of supplies that are now arriv-
ing.
Local hotel keepers nre highly pleased
over the continued heavy arrival of
guests. Travel to Salt Lake shows no
sign of abating, and it is predicted that
the trade during the ensuing fall viii
supass all records of the same season
in previous years.
