w, G. Albertson, general land agent,
whose offices are at 604 Dooly block,
believes that what Utah needs at pres

The American farmer is today the

mean to himself and family to own a

happy, healthful, out door life, where
hard times would be thing of the
past, aud instead of merely living at
high cost he can live On the best the
land affords, and put money in the
bank every year. If you will stop to
consider and TO think about these con.
ditiors as they exist today, you would
not waste any time until you had at
least selected and made a payment on

thing tangible, that would always be
a shelter in a time Of storm, for as
agriculture is the basis of all industry,
land is the basis of all wealth. No man
can make a better investment than by
buying land.
When you put your money into good
real estate you know it is safe.
We want men who, with their fami-
lies will make good citizens of Utah
We want men who will make a bust

make money out of that business.
We want men who have succeeded

NJ FADDEN BUYS;
COTTON Goes UP
Spot Houses Bid Heavily for May
Contracts = Short Interest
Large-News Disturbing.

NEW YORK. Apr. 2.-The cotton mar
ket opened today with prices 1 point
off to 3 points higher than the previous
close, influenced chiefly by favorable
weather conditions and easier cables.
During the first fifteen minutes the
market was very quiet, with narrow
range. After the call some of the leading
spot sources and the ring were inclined
to liquldate near positions. but offerings
were readily absorbed by shorts and by a
scattered demand from a number Of spot
houses. May opened at u %. but soon
advanced points Other positions were
inactive and fiuctuated within a narrow
range.
At the eud Of the first half hour prices
were 1 To points over the opening
range.
Yesterdays buying was renewed by
the same coterie of operators who have
supported the market continuously since
the flood in the Middle West This ag-
gressVe buying started shorts on a. run
TO cover. The South was said To be a
buyer believed TO be short covering.
McFadden apparently was the best
buyer His bidding for the May option
was unlimited. May jumped TO 1886. a
net gain Of 10 points over the opening;
July also was purchased heavily, and
rapidly gained 10 points. Other posi-
tions were in less demand They were
well sustained. but did not show any
strength of consequence.
Sentiment, which until recently was
extremely bearish. but the large short
interest and continued unfavorable ad-
vices from the floods, coupled with per
sistent buying Of the large spot houses,
has reversed sentiment, which will carry
prices TO much higher level, unless
some unexpected favorable news of the
new crop comes and a weakness in spots
prevails.
on the other hand, those inclined to
the belief that the market is too high
seem afraid. 70 liquidate their holdings
in face OF bullish expressions predoni-
mating throughout the belt. Liverpool
reports weakness.
A sudden selling movement by the ring
during the last hour Of the late ses-
sion caused the market to weaken, re-
sulting in prices losing the early ad-
vance. The market closed steady with
prices net unchanged TO points higher
than the final quotations of Tuesday.
