Special to The Ne,os.


New York, Aug. 29-The events of
the past week were not of a particu-
larly stimulating character. The most
important check to further rise in
values was the practical opening of
the political campaign on issues which
inevitably excite more or less uncer-
tainty in business circles. 1t is now
settled that the tariff will be one of
the leading issues in the coming cam
paign. 1t is doubtful if any import
ant changes in schedules will be eff
fected, but the disturbance which
tariff agitation always induces neces.
sary checks initiative and postpones
many new commitments. It is cues.
tionable, however, if in the long run
the aggregate volume of business will
suffer thereby, for changes in the tariff
delay or derange rather than destroy
business. There is also some pros
pect of revival of anti-corporation
agitation; and as the political CAM
paign will be waged with Increasing
Intensity during the next two months,
1t would cause no surprise If the re-
suit was a temporary disturbance of
stock exchange values.

General Trade.

General trade remains very quiet
and promises to so continue until the
vacation period is over. The subse
quent prospects are for fair recovery
after the recent stagnation; although
tariff and antitrust agitations will
not be very helpful. The iron trade,
while still depressed, already shows
signs Of partial revival. The demand
for copper is improving, although that
industry is still in an unsatisfactory
position. Other metals have not yet
passed through the process of read
justment which has taken place in
iron, nor has general business been
SO thoroughly adjusted to new condi-
lions as the security market, which
had practically discounted all bust
ness reaction. 1t seems reasonable
to look for fair fall trade, but no
extraordinary activity, and in many
cases business will have to be con-
Quoted upon a scale of diminished
profits. Nevertheless, there is no
sign for uneasiness in any part of
the commercial horizon. Even poll.
tics may not disturb as seriously as
many apprehended.

The Stock Exchange.

On the stock exchange a somewhat
unsettled undertone prevails. Specu
lative conditions seem somewhat con
ficting. The railroad problem is still
confusing and complicated by de
minished net earnings, but large
traffic is fully anticipated this fall In
some circles there is still a DISPOSE
ton to await the supreme court de
cisions on oil and tobacco, etc.; yet
it should be borne in mind that recent
changes in the supreme court assure
the permanence Of a conservative and
judicial spirit in that august body
The question as to whether the rail-
roads may or may not advance rates
has fortunately been postponed until
after the elections, when the COM
missioners will be able to handle the
problem freenfrom the suspicion of
playing politics. Very soon numerous
operators will have returned from
their vacations, refreshed and in
vigorated by rest and change of scene.
Naturally they will appear in a
strengthened and more optimistic
state Of mind, the effect of which will
undoubtedly be felt in the stock mar
ket. There has already been a sharp
recovery from the low point of July,
which, aa usual, induced a certain
amount of profit-taking; the prices of
the better class investment stocks
are already upon a comparatively low
basis. Indications point to an irregu-
lar market for the next few weeks,
with politics, crops and money as the
chief influences.

Situation Conflicting.

Aside from politics, the situation il
somewhat conflicting. The process o.
readjustment in industrial and com
mercial affairs is making steady
progress; and, though not by
any means completed, the general sit
uation can be accepted as safer and
sounder in consequence Of the rectii
cation already accomplished. 1t is
hardly to be expected that the de.
rangements following so many Years
of uninterrupted prosperity can be
satisfactorily adjusted In the short
space of seven months. Nevertheless,
the country Is making excellent prog
ress, not only in recovering its equa-
librium. but in actual recuperation.
Fortunately our crop outlook is bet
ter than month ago. Corn has been
making steady progress during the
past week, and the outlook for a g.
000,000,000 bushel crop is fairly reas-
enable, If damage by frost is escaped.
Cotton also is doing well, and should
If free from frost, turn out larger
than at one time anticipated It will
be remembered that wheat has al
ready disappointed the pessimistic
predictions Of July. There is, there
fore, now little or no danger of crop
failures, and the country is almost
certain of securing a satisfactory har-
vest. Although prices are frequently
lower than year ago, they will yield
good profits. This probably explains
The continued optimistic reports which
come from the West, that section

Gold imports.

owing partly to the Improvement
In the monmonetary situation at New
York gold imports have ceased; the
stiffening of rates in London and the
probability of an advance in the Bank
of England rate having put a further
restraint upon our power to attract
gold. From now on, however our
exports of produce should begin
to increase. Wheat is still above an
export basis, but the outward cotton
movement will begin as soon as the
bill of lading controversy is settled,
and this should be an important fac
tor in our foreign trade, which is still
in an abnormal condition owing to
large imports and small exports. The
latter are steadily gaining, and condi-
lions are becoming more favorable to
foreign purchases of both raw and
manufactured products. At the same
time the dullness of business here is
sure to check importations, especially
In view of the agitation for the lower
tariff. In this connection it is worthy
Of note that during the past seven
months our imports were swelled by
an increase of $26,000,000 in rubber
and $1O,000,000 in sugar, these two
tens alone forming an important

Banking Situation Improved.

odHNfTlH SITUATION improved.
There has been a notable improve
ment in the banking situation at the
interior, resulting from the precau-
tons enforced by bankers for the last
month or six weeks. Liquidation has
not only checked unhealthy specula-
ton in the interior, but has forced a
freer marketing of crops which had
been held back for higher prices.
This was strikingly demonstrated by
the recent large increase in grain re-
ceipts at primary points compared
with year ago. The demand for
money to move the crops at the West
and South has already begun, and
henceforth the surplus reserves of the
New York banks may be expected to
decline as Western institutions draw
upon their balances in this market.
Considering the lessened demand for
money for business and speculative
purposes, the New York banks will
be able to assume their share of the
crop burden with much less difficulty
than at one time feared. Firmer
money rates are within probabilities,
but indications do not point to anv
extreme stringency either at New
York or interior money centers.

An indication Of the fact that east

Garages Show Tendency to
Cluster in One Part
of City.

East First South street, between
State street and Second East street is
rapidly becoming headquarters for the
automobile business. Already there
are two new buildings completed and
another one under consideration. The
buildings thus far constructed have
been arranged especially for buzz
wagons" one Of them with a rooming
house above. When the new building
is erected this also will have a hotel
or rooming house on the upper floors.
1t Is little more than a year since
the movement commenced to make up
per State street garage center. This
movement was started with the erection
of the handsome new garage by Tom
Botterin for his business and marked
the beginning Of the movement away
from Third South street, where g. num-
Der OF automobile concerns were To-
Gated Since then the movement has
spread and today both sides of State
street above First South street are
lined with buildings, the ground floors
Of which are devoted to this line Of
business
First South street, however. is ap-
parent, but the beginning Of the de-
velopment of that street. Within a
few months the Crane company will
move to the new building now being
erected at the corner OF Second South
and Second West. This will leave va
cant additional space for use as q
garage and the upper portion Of the
building will probably be occupied by

100000 TOURISTS
VISIT SALT LAKE
TranSientS Nearly All Come in
Spring, Summer and
the Autumn.

Two hundred thousand tourists are
entertained in Salt Lake every year is
the statement given out by officials Of
the Salt Lake Seeing Salt Lake Auto
mobile company, the estimate being
founded on the fact that more than
seventy thousand of these visitors are
entertained by the company during the
summer. 1t is estimated that only
about one-fourth of the total number
of visitors are entertained by this
company.
The rush begins with the institution
by the railway companies OF summer
tourists rates in May, and the conse-
qUent rush Of tourists eastward from
California points. This eastward move
men continues through the month Of
May and well into June. when the tide
turns and the bulk Of travel comes
to the west. Through the month
of June and early July, visitors are
from nearly all eastern sections. From
that time there is a general mixture
of sections represented by tourists, and
people come from practically every
state in the Union. The general move
ment continues until the end of Octo-
Der, this being regarded as one of the
best for tourist trade.
Comment Is Hldue Oh the great loss
sustained by the city through the ces-
sation of traffic over the Salt Lake
Route, the result being that many
tourists either go past the city by
other routes, or are compelled to short
en- their stay on account Of the longer
time required for tourists to reach
Salt Lake from western and California
points Under ordinary conditions.
visitors come here for a short visit,
look over the city and then make a
trip to Yellowstone park. The trip TO
that section requires about a week,
and the visitors return to Salt Lake
for another look over the place.
A curious feature Of the matter is
the fact that apparently the same Wis
itorS do not return for a second trip.
There is a constant coming and going
Of new people. who seem bent on see
ing something OF the country, and then

GREAT IRRIGATION
PROJECT STARTED
Company Organized at More
Than One Million Pushes
Reclamation Work.

An immense irrigation project which
is now under way in Beaver county.
promises to open up a tract Of coun-
try in the state heretofore unused, and
to bring about the building up Of the
town OF Milford to a great degree. The
Beaver Irrigation. Land & Power
company, capitalized at $1,250,000.
was incorporated about three years
ago. Recently a tract Of $4,000 acres
has been purchased near Milford,
about 206 miles south of Salt Lake
City on the line of the Salt Lake
Route, and a complete system of irri-
CATION will be laid out.
II is proposed to utilize the water
from the Beaver river and from the
streams and wash Of the Antelope
range Reservoirs viii be constructed
capable of impoundiDg a vast guam
tity Of water sufficient to irrigate the
entire tract. A new townsite has been
laid out on the bench to the eastward
of the old town. and building lots will
be sold there. This move will improve
the location of the place a great deal,
as the new site is about sixty feet high
or than the other location.
The town is a division point Of the
railroad. and there is a branch line
from the city to the mining districts in
the vicinity 1t is expected that the
Salt Lake Route viii be in operation
by June 1. and there Will be a large
volume of traffic through the locality
as result of the opening Of the road
Officers of the company are as follows:
