for IN large quantities
Demand for Fencing.
In wholesale lines the feature has
been the sale of barbed wire and other
fencing. The call comes mainly from
ldaho and western Wyoming, and shows
that the farmers have begun TO enclos,
Iheir farms for tho winter. Largo mum
| oerS or new settlers are also coming
INTO the country, as is we'll known, and
THESE are taking up farms and are re-
quured 10 fence in their ncwly.acquired
property. Building materials and other
supplies have also been called for in
large quantities. II was reported by
one of the large hardware concerns OF
the city that it had Just received an
order for ten carloads of wire fencing.
lhese things point to largo doings in
the newly-settled country and speak
well tor, continued prosperity through
out the lntcrmountain region.
The season for ali sorts of winter
saddlery goods is now in full blast.
The blacksmiths arc laying in supplies
also Horse shoes. bar iron, strap iron,
wagon iron, nails and all sorts Of goods
of this kind have been called for in
huge quantities.
Mining Supplies.
Orders are now beginning TO come i'm
from the mining camps for supplies and
machinery, This is the time of year
when these camps prepare for the win
ter season, and supplies of all kinds are
obtained before the places are showed
IN, In many cases ii is impossible TO
reach the camps with heavy supplies af.
ter the snow sets in, and in any event
II IS cheaper to make the deliveries
now.
The cold snap has affected the cloth
ing and dryGoods trade strongly, and
M many lines of goods there has been
rush. The time for tho payment of
taxes ordinarily affects business, but
there has been little noticeable falling
/ off ut the present. 1t is said, on ac.
count OF the stimulus received from
other sources. The close approach of
| Thanksgiving time has stimulated trade
in household supplies and other lines
for that event.
| In the art departments of the biz
stores, trade has been heavy and is on
the increase. All sorts of articles
which ladies make up for presentation
10 their friends have been called for.
and typography, mcttalography and
art needlcwork of all kinds have been

feature. There has been an excellent
trade in silks and drcssgoods, espe-
oiaIly in black satins. The sales car
ried out have stimulated trade in these
! lines.
To Drop Prices.
II is iust the time of wear when
stores are beginning to force sales by
lowering prices of goods and the women
know OF this, so that many lines Of wo-
men s wear have been a little quiet

! Collections in all lines are excellent.
| One concern reported that collections
arc better than for Il long time, Only
| in the eases Of few farmers who have
| been late in harvesting their crops is
! there any slowness reported, and this
will be changed III few weeks. as
soon rs returns begin to come In from
their shipments.
Except for the decided Tightening of
| the money market, there have been no
| features IN financial circles the past
| week Brokers report a considerable
picking up in local investments, ard
| there has been a number of excellent
! investments among dividend paying
