Back of the general satisfaction and

Salt Lake Fortunate.
Salt Lake Is completing with flying
colors a summer season that has been
unusually dull in most Of the cities Of
the country, the dealers allege. While
the dog days and a certain tendency to
depression has been having its i'll eff.
fects on Denver and other cities of the
west, Salt Lake has continued to pro-
gress with steadiness that has marked
the city asounique throughout the coun-

Undeniable evidences Of rapidly In.
creasiug values in central downtown
property is an encouraging factor to the
dealers. During the week the market
witnessed the fiat refusal of the high

Heavy Clearing Sales.
AS has been the case for some weeks
past, the local retail market has been
marked by removal. clearance OF spe
cial sales, and varied bargains. which
merchants have offered as stimulus
to trade. The results have in most in,
stances been ahead of expectations, and
the volume of transactions has proved
highly profitable.
A good deal of interest centers upon
the near removal of the Keith o 'Brien
company and the Auerbach company
from their present Main street stores
to their new homes at State street and
Broadway, the new retail center. Their
removals will take place early in Sep
tember. Both new homes are virtually
ready for their occupants, and will pre-
sent two Of the finest department stores

In the meantime both firms are dispos-

bargains, of which the buying public
seems to take full advantage. Their
final sales will be conducted within
two Or three weeks.
General Trade Good.
The largest trade came to depart

SALT LAKE BANKERS
REPORT GOOD WEEK
Money Market Unusually Ac-
tive on Conservative Basis
of Business.
SUPPLY MEETS DEMAND
Banking Institute Convention
This Week Important in
Financial Circles.
SUPPLY MEETS DEMAND

Financial conditions in Salt Lake
during the last week left no room
for complaint, according to reports of
bankers and business men. The money
market was particularly active on a
conservative basis, and the supply Of
funds to meet all purposes was not
taxed in any way. Optimism prevails,
with the crop outlook taking on a
brighter hue every day.
The national convention Of the
American Institute Of Banking, which
opens in this city Wednesday, formed
the most important topic of the week.
Captains of industry, leading finan-
ciers and men prominent in the flnan.
cial eye Of the nation will be present.
Their addresses will cover many vital
phases of modern business and bank
ly beneficial to local banking men,
especially in the matter Of banking
standards.
Will Entertain Institute.
Indications point to an unusually
large attendance, from which the city
will draw it's revenue through various
channels. The Salt Lake chapter of
the institute has prepared elaborately
for the entertainment Of delegates, and
the convention, it is predicted, will
surpass any previous gathering of the
organization.
Aside from this, the serenity Of the
market during the week was only tenn
porarily broken by the incident that
closed the vault of the National Bank
Of the Republic for week, imprison-
ing close to Sl.0O0,000 in funds that
would otherwise have been at work
earning revenue for the bank.
The weeks bank clearings amounted
to S5,91s, ,201.27, and those of Saturday
amounted to $1,o7e,137.s6.
Loan Market Active.
The loan market was normally ac~
tive and no big transactions of note
were reported. Interest rates. remain
unchanged, and stable securities have
been obtainable for the most part. The
bond market was not particularly &C.
tive.
Various incidents point to the be.
ginning Of the customary demand for
money for erop-moving purposes, This
is indicated all over The country. Re
ports show that crops are regarded at
present as Of far more vital import
ance than politics, and each week
strengthens the outlook for large and
profitable harvest. The estimates on
the wheat. corn and cotton crops are
turning out much better than expected,
and the future is viewed with increas.

Part of the afternoon was consum-
ed in conference regarding the
work that is being done by the var

Many hard problems were considered
and many interesting experiences re-
lated. Hon. Mason S. Stone laid
especial emphasis upon the need of
a programme for the development of
the schools covering series of
years. He said that the trouble with
so many of our schools is that they
do great many unrelated things,
and therefore. do not seem to obtain
permanent results though they spend
considerable money.
Every superintendent, together
with the school directors of the re-
spective towns, should map out a
program for the erection of good sub

development of the school grounds

LOCAL CHRISTMAS

Most OF the Merchants Broke

Merchants in town report a record
Christmas trade, which began in
good season, shoppers evidently TAX
ing the advice to shop early. Mon
day nearly all the shops were crowd
ed with belated gift seekers, but
Tuesday business was not so rushed.
II was without doubt, far ahead of
last years holiday business, in spite
of the cry of depression supposed to
be incident TO presidential election.
The post Office which feels the
greatest increase in business during
the holidays, broke all records this
year and showed large gains over
last year. On Monday before Christ
mas, which is always the heaviest
day of the season, 90 per cent more
business was done than on the same
day year ago, and the gross bust
ness for the Christmas season
took jump of % per cent. Eight
thousand one cent stamps were solo
at the post Office Monday, which is
double the number sold last year.
The local express Office also did a
much larger business than last year.
The lively holiday trade is simply
the result of the conditions of bust
ness that have prevailed in town
during the fall and il looks encourag-
ing Tor the New Year.

TURKEYS COUNTER
PEACE TERMS
INDEFINITE
Indications That There Will Be
Much Bargaining
AUSTRIA'S ACTION OMNIBUS
Failure to DemobiIze the Cause Of
Disquietude to the
ALLIES.

London, Dec. 26.-The expedition
with which the Turkish government
has decided upon counter peace pro-
posals leads to the assumption that
they will be equally wide from what
are likely to be the eventual terms of
the peace treaty, as were the demands
of the allis, and that there still is
prolonged process of bargaining to
be gone through before the confer
ence is ended.
Austria's failure TO demobilize.
however. is a greater source of dis
quietude to all concerned than the
task of arranging peace. This is
more especially the case with the
Montenegrin delegates, who yester-
day were considerably excited over
the rumor that now Austria has
obtained what she wants from Servia
she wishes either to prevent Mon
tenegro from taking Scutari the
Moutenegrin occupation of Scutari
the price OF Austrian occupation of
Mount Lowehen. This mount, which
rises to hight of about $500 feet, al
most perpendicularly, dominates the
gulf of Cataro, the greatest Austrian
naval stronghold in the Adriatic. But
now Montenegro with its batteries
on Mt. Lowehen, commands the gulf
NJ Miyuskovitch has declared to
all the ambassadors that Montenegro
would rather be exterminated than
yield Lowehen or renounce Scutari
He said: 1T naturally is absurd to
speak of declaring war against Aus
tria, but If Vienna had any such pre-
tensions she would have to wipe
out every soul in Montenegro. my
sell would be there, sword in hand
and would sell my life dearly"
Moreover, 1t is not believed that
Russia would ever permit the annihi.
lation OF the small kingdom which
Tor centuries has represented the
Slav stronghold on the Adriatic
shores. and in this connection adj
ditional attention is drawn to the
TACT that Russia is taking means To
prevent her continued war prepara-
lions from becoming known.
Several of the peace delegates left
London for Christmas. Those who
remained spent the day quietly al
their hotels or with friends.
