Some Interesting Figures Are
Given as to What Salt Lake
Is Doing.

Bank clcarings continue to show the
high standard of totals set at the OPEN

one million dollars per day, including
Sundays. The total for Monday, May
10, is $3.50, ,06962, as compared with
a total of only $s23 ,5ss27 for the cor
responding day of a year ago, thus show
ing an increase over last year of S456
4Sl.36, or an excess of more than %
per cent over the total for the CORE
spending day Of 1905
The increase for Saturday, May s,
was even greater, the total for that da.
being 81 100, l2s.S3. as compared with J.
total of only $560,713,l2 for the cor
responding day Of last year. The in
crease in this case. therefore, is $559.-

large as the daily showing of Saturday
The total for the week was $6,4o2. .s7l %
