BETTER TONE ON
LOCAL EXCHANGE

SALT LAKE. Aug. 19.-There was
a better tone TO the local stock list
this morning. though there was no
heavy buying or selling INDUCED In.
The support given the various Issues
was quite good. resulting in some im-
provement In prices in several places.
Both Columbus and Iron Blossom
were stronger and a fair amount OF
stock changed hands in both these
issues.
d There was the usual amount of ac-
tiyity In South Columbus and Cedar
Talisman, though both of these stocks
declined in price South Columbus
was given setback, owing TO the
fact that some of the dissatisfied
shareholders arc disposed TO sell their
holdings rather than stay IN. Most of
this stock cost originally great deal
more money, but IL is evident that
there are some who are willing to
take their losses and venture In some
other propositions.
OpeX was a feature this morning,
selling up To 80 cents, with a total
OF $500 shares being disposed OF Yes
terday 1t was drug on the market.
selling down TO 81 IL cents. Today
the 3-cent assessment becomes delin-
quent. and this ordinarily would put
a higher selling price on the stock.
The development work in the mine is
being pushed along and if there
should be a find made OF any import
ance. the share price would doubtless
react very quickly
During the lulls in trading the
brokers are inquiring about the prog
reSs being made in development and
The conditions of the eastern market.
The big markets are going through a
settling process at this time, and
there are those who believe that it
will be several days before the higher
prices arc again reached. The ad-
vance was too sudden to hold perma-
nently. and after being shaken down
there will bo another uplift.
