BUSINESS AND TRADE,

The storm OF Friday, which looked
as though it were ending yesterday
has undoubtedly done great good
throughout the State, especially to the
dry farming interests. Indications arc
that the clearing up of the storm will
not bring severe frost, reports from the
fruitgrowers being optimistic, and AS
all are on their guard against sudden
freeze. should such threaten. tho
chances are that the fruit Will escape
damage at this time
Passing through the city the past
few days have been thousands OF Mys-
TIC Shrlners, whose presence has been
welcome. and whose entertainment has
been stimulont to trade
In spite Of the stormy weather, mcr-
chants report trade in excess of last
year. The prospects for a big spring
trade arc excellent. Trade is reported
good in nearly all lines. and collections
easier than usual. Cash sales are great.

figures that could be had. We find,
however, that our figures were not so
very much out Of the way. We stated
that tho increase of the assessment in
this city was $l,o97 .o93, which il APP
pears was SI96,l70 too much, the exact
figures being $I,10l,S13. The figures
which We were able to give on the in
crease in the county outside of Salt
Lake City, approximately, were $780,
$50. These figures, it appears, were
$i96. $50 too low. for Mr.. Gabbott gives
this increase as s570,l3o
According to our recollection, last
wear the assessment OF the county prop
erty outside Of the city was actually
lowered by the assessor. as compared
with the assessment OF 1910, while, at
the same time. the assessment OF the
city was largely iucreascd; so that the
increase made this year in the county
outside Of tbe city is perhaps partial
remedy of the injustice OF last year
on this account
We desire at al times to have every
thing of this nature stated with exact
ness. and accordingly we are more
than willing to print the figures as
given above by Assessor Gabbott.

Stock market conditions have been
unusually buoyapt for several days, the
reaction in the East coming on Friday,
when the interests which have been in

denly reversed their position. The

industrial conditions as yet hardly JUS

ket
The general commercial agencies re-
port advance 10 industrial activity TO
be slow, but trade increases. The ar
bitration agreement between the rail
roads and the engineers is a hopeful
feature. Expansion in bank credits,
especially in the West, the large out
put Of new securities in April, the not
able demand for steel products and cot
ton and wooden goods, and the statistics
OF traffic and clcarances, all reflect
n growth of business that is encourag.
ing, New demands in iron and steel
have diminl shed, following the ad-
vance in prices; but mills generally
are booked ahead practically to capac-
ity during the second quarter Of the
year.
No mention is made in the reports
of any setback to business because
OF the great floods on the Mississippi
river. We conclude, therefore, that
these were negligible in the tremen-
dous mass OF trade and industrial oper
ations that are reported.
Optimism is apparent in most sec
tions Of the country. little regard be-
ing paid to the political turmoil. Out,

Before leaving Salt Lake City for

d.. RYAN while here stated that this
Improvement was planned, for the
smelter, he stated, was giving com
plete satisfaction in every way.
Several hundred employees Of the
American Smelling company at the Muir
ray lead smelter went on strike during
the week, aud the smeter has been closed
down. The smelter officials do not
seem likely to increase the wages of

the trouble is not yet in sight The
closing, of this plant will affect the
