MONEY MARKET IS
IN GOOD CONDITION
Funds in Abundance Are on
Hand for All Legitimate
Purposes.
CLEARINGS GRATIFYING
Crop Outlook Is Encouraging;
Business Men Are All
Optimistic.
CLEARINGS GRATIFYING

Entirely satisfactory conditions pre-
vailed in local financial circles during
the past week. Although the seven days
passed without any known big transac-
tions or noteworthy features in bust
ness way, the week has been recorded
as one Of especial Importance by rea-
son of the sessions of the American In
stitute Of Banking, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday.
Bankers and attaches OF banking in
stltutions gave themselves up almost
entirely to the entertainment Of the
hundreds of delegates and visitors
drawn here by the convention, and the
sessions, which brought forth many dis"
cussions of vital importance to the
banking business, and which brought
banking clerks together in greater
and better understanding Of systems
and duties, were largely attended,
Good Impression Gained.
The impressions gained by the visi-
tors have placed Salt Lake more firmly
in their minds as the progressive me-
tropolis Of the great inland empire,
which figures Importantly in the coun"
try's world of finance. The conditions
prevailing here and the methods used
concededly have strengthened Salt
Lake. g reputation as a sound, conserva-
tive money center, whose financial ar
teries are pulsing life and development,
not only to the city itself and Utah,
but to the intermountain country at
large.
Local bankers report a plentiful sup
ply Of money for all legitimate invest
ments or purposes. The standard Of
loans that have been made regularly
for months past for industrial and i'm.
provement enterprises has been well
maintained. Optimism prevails and
steady upward growth of business on
firm foundation is noticeable. The
future outlook is viewed with high fa-
vor. and better times are expected
without exception-and without the
artificial stimulus Of socalled boom.
Clearings Gratifying
The bank clearings for the week
proved gratifying, and gave evidence
to certain extent Of increased clrcu-
lation of funds, which, in turn, points
to business activity. Deposits maintain
a high average. Many financial insti-
tutions loaned out funds at slightly re-
duced interest rates.
The crop outlook, both in the west
and in the east. is such as to I'LL the
hearts Of capitalists and business men,
not to forget the farmer, with COM
fort and anticipation for excellent con-
ditions. Merchants, bankers and man.
ufacturers alike are preparing for
good business season the country over,
while the temporary interest In ma
tional politics in no way Is lnJurlng
business operations.

the distribution Of tho waters Of the
lakes belonging to the owners Of water
rights in the canyons.
Engineer Cannon estimates that the

tho point shown in the picture, and the
other at the lower end Of Lake Phoebe,

site taken by the city engineering de-
partment.
Despite the fact that the state law
provides that the appointment Of tho
departmental employees shall be made
only by the city commissioners, Super
visor of Waterworks G. T, Barrett has
hired A. L. Phillips, an expert govern
ment construction foreman, to work on
the construction Of the structure in
the canyons. Mr.. Phillips will be paid
at the rate of $4 a day-if the city
commissioners should concur in the ap-
pointment when they receive official mo-
tice that it has been made and provided
that the city auditor will not hold up
Mr.. Phillips's voucher for those days
when he worked without official ap-
pointment.
Upon recommendation Of City Engi-
neer D. 81. Blossom and on motion of
Commissioner R. P. Morris, the city
auditor will tomorrow night be author
lied to transfer $500 Of the $4,000 re-
Gently appropriated for preliminary
work on the dams to the credit of the
