Salt Lake Clearing House Assn Holds
Annual Election and Makes
Wonderful Showing.

This morning the annual meeting of
the members of the Salt Lake Clearing
House association, which comprises
practically all the banks of the city.
was held. In accordance with the rules
of the association, the officers are ap-
pointed by rotation, and Mr. McCor-
nick. president OF the Utah National,
retired in favor of l.. S. Hills. president
of the Deseret National. Mr. McCor-
nick. as head of Mccormick & Co. now
became vice president s. a. Whitney
of Mccormick G. Co. retired as secretary
and treasurer in favor OF l.. H. Farms
worth of Walker Bros bank. The old
executive committee was reelected,
consisting OF W. S. Mccormick, L. S.
Hills, C. S. Burton, Frank Knox, and
l. H. Farnsworth.

ceeded by John T. Boud of the Utan

firing manager in his report says.
The bank clearings reached total
of 1887 .493. .362.6 .6S, an Increase of sS0.459-
1886 over last year. the largest clear
ings and the greatest increase for any
one year In the history of the associa-
ton. This can be accounted for to
certain extent by the great building ac-
tivity we are enjoying. the increased
mining operations, and the large and
successful crops of every description.
all of which created check circulation,
thus increasing the clearings"

Foodstuffs Hit Top Prices
Following Big Washouts

The prevalence of storms In Califor-
MIA combined with the severing of di-
rect communication between Salt Lake
and southern California, has brought
about a steady shortage of greenstuffs
and produce generally that this market
has been dependent on the Los Angeles
market to supply. Consequently there
Is a tendency toward higher prices be-
cause Of the extra distance to be trav-
ersed in shipping over the Southern
Pacific via Sacramento. In fact the
great disaster has so reduced the prod
uce business in this city that retrench-
ment is talked of in the provision and
grocery trade. in the shape of less help.
or reduction of wages, or both.
AS c. j. Crabtree remarked this
morning. I'VE are beginning to realize
that the washing out of the San Pedro
road is Il calamity to Salt Lake. which
will become more apparent as time goes
on. If it is to cost more to ship In from
southern California, why prices Will
have to be arranged to correspond.
which Will of course work a hardship.
Two cars OF oranges arrived last
night. the first shipment of the kind
since New Years, thus relieving a mar
ket practically bare of this wholesome
fruit. \ car of sweet potatoes Is also
included in the general shipments from
the coast Among tho eastern receipts
are Cuban tomatoes, made more acceS-
sIble to this country by the building of
the Florida Keys railroad, and making
possible establishment of regular ship
mcnts of produce from the once "eVer
faithful isle" to any part of the United
States. But until the San Pedro relo
Gates It's destroyed line, and reopens
communication between southern Cali
fornia and Utah. the local consuming
public must accommodate Itself to
largely reduced supplies OF winter
greenstuffS.
There is likely to be an increased de-
mand for Nebraska flour. as local deal
ers say that per hundredweight. the
eastern flour VIII yield 20 more loaves
of bread than the average Utah article.
There is a heavy trade In Nebraska
flour here already. The butter sltua-
ton continues unchanged, except that
the local consumption of oleomargarine
is Increasing with such rapidity that
dealers say they are having a hard time
TO supply the demand. The ward stores
are beginning to cut down their butter
orders and increase their oleo stocks,
in consequence. as people eVlnce no
more readiness to pay 40 cents for 14;h
ounces of genuine butter than at first.
Halibut Is scarce, owing to storms off
the Pacific coast. which send the fish
out into deep water for the time being.
Consequently there is a raise I'm the
price until the supply becomes more
plentiful. Eggs are up to the 50-cent
mark, with selects even higher The
prices obtaining today in the local mar
kets are as follows.

ANOTHER COPPER MERGER.
Morgan and Others Plan Consolidation
By Buyinc Mines.


The Boston Financial News is in
position to give the latest plan for the
consolidation of the Cole-Ryan and
Amalgamatcd Copper properties. The
plan has been formulated by the j p
Morgan interests and is entirely diff
ferent from any plans heretofore con-
sidered. says the paper of Jan. 5.
The plan is TO form q new company
which will offer to buy the properties
and not the shares, of the various
Cole Ryan and Amalgamated operating
companies and to pay for such prop
critics either with cash or stock in the
new company.
The properties thus far mentioned as
being taken into the new company are
the Anaconda, Butte & Boston, Boston
& Montana and the Parrot. Others will
doubtless be considered later such as
the North Butte, Butte Coalition and
other Cole-Ryan companies, but moth
Ing definite has yet been done other
than to consider the selling of the
Amolgamated properties to the new
company.
will take the pay for Its properties in
the shares of the new organization
and thus it VIII have complete control
of the new concern.
BY buying the properties of the dif-
ferent companies the old companies
VIII be wiped out entirely and the en-
tire group of Cole-Ryan and Amalga-
mated properties centered in one large
copper producing company.
The idea OF offering cash or stock
in payment for the operating con-
Germs is to avoid any objection which
minority shareholders may offer to the
plan.
The above plan may not be adopted
but 1t seems to be the most likely one
at the moment. John d. Ryan is on
his way east from Butte and has not
as yet considered the plan, but it may
be put through without his consent
should he object

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Especial correspondence

Especial Correspondence.)
Kansas City Stockyards. Jan. TO-
Cattle receipts last week were about
30, 900 head, and the market made a net
gain of 10 to 20 cents, after numerous
fluctuations The run today is 1900
head here, and fairly liberal elsewhere,
the liberal supply drawn out by the
good market last week partly, and also
holped by the desire of feeders In nn-
tive territory to get rid OF their hold
ings The heavy receipts of short fed
cattle lately lead to the belief in strong
or prices later In the season, and the
man who sticks may win out again this
season. as has been the case for two
or three years past The market Is
weak to 10 lower today. moderate de-
cline I'm the face of such n large sup
ply. Trade in range cattle during the
past week has been without feature, ex-
cept that a few good Colorado beef
steers have been here at 5.25 to SIS. and
Colorado cows at 4.25 to 500. Bulk of
the fed steers here today sell at SIS
to $50. top steers today 7.40. bulk of
COWS at $50 to AIS. best cows SIS. best
heifers 600. bulls at 3.25 to 80, choice
veals 500 to 900, heavy calves around
$50. The belief in better fat cattle
prices later In the season is stimulating
trade in feeders. and the fact that half
the winter is gone is an incentive to
the purchase of stock cattle. which
makes trade in country grades very
good, and prices at the high point of
the winter. and considered extra high
for this season of the year Stock steers
sell at $40 TO 500, feeders 4.25 to SIS,
with selected feeders UP to $50 during
the past week.
Thirty-eight thousand sheep and
lambs arrived last week. but the mar
ket made a good gain during the week,
and closed up firm. Run is $4,000 to-
day. market steady to 10 lower. al
though the Ronssee lambs, westerns fed
in Kansas, sold at $50 today, same as
on different days last week, and ewes
reached $50 today, highest point of tho
winter. Fair to good lambs sell at SIS
to $50, some inferior lambs from tho
pea feeding district of Colorado last
week to 500. western yearlings worth
6.75 to 74o, wethers 5.25 to $50. fair to
good ewes. 4so to 5.35. goats 400 to 4.50
Stuff on feed In local territory Is known
to be short this year, and 1t looks like
present strength in prices should re-
main indefinitely
