Period Last Year.
ALL LINES OF TRADE
ARE UNUSUALLY BUSY
There Is Great Demand Among
Real Estate Men for
Cottages.

among the lines affected by the cold
weather, In banking circles thero has
been no great change, except the steady
increase in the clearings, which is due
to tho heavy payment of taxes and
| the distribution Of the largo amounts
by the sugar factories Of the State.
| Money rates are about the same as
those of n week ago, with very little
call for money.
Realty business has been rather dull
in the way of sales, nothing big be-
ing recorded. For small cottages there
is good demand Tenants are clam
oring for these kind OF houses, especially
those of four and six rooms. The de-
mand has been greater than the sup
| ply, and realty men sec a good opening
| for an investment and predict that by
early spring there will be at least one
hundred Of these cottages under the
| course of construction, as outside capi-
tai, as well as local, is looking for just
such Investment, rs 1t brings from 10
to 20 per cent on the money invested.
| The cold weather has put stop on
building to n certain extent; that is,
| the exterior; the interior of buildings
now under cover is being rushed or to
| completion by contractors. Tho cold
also helps the brick men to some cx-
tent, as the orders will not be so great
as heretofore, and the yards can now
catch up with their delayed orders.
The demand from the smeltcrs has also
stopped and good part of the local
orders, also. The Salt Lake Brick com"
pauy has almost completed its new kiln,
| which, when in working order, will turn
| out 5000 ordinary brick in one day
and will greatly relieve the brick short
| age.
! In the retail dry goods market the
change of weather has proved TO be
very beneficial One house says not
withstanding that November is tax
month tho collections Of the house have
boon better the past week than for
any week during tho last month. The
weather change has made the demand
for underwear, women S coats, skirts,
and suits, boys clothing and overcoats
The closeness Of Thanksgiving causes
a big demand for all kinds of linens
and fancy needlework; almost double
that of last year. Early Christmas
shoppers are already out in force and
are buying now in anticipation of
heavy holiday trade. Indications now
point this way. This is evident in the
lines of toys, novelties and ornamental
goods; also ribbons, which are used in
working fancy gifts.

through the intermountain country.
Wholesale commission men report a
