SALT LAKE BANKERS
KEEP MONEY At HOME
Refuse Request of Eastern In
stitutions; Ample Funds for
Building Needs.

Salt Lake City's financial condition
remains practically unchanged There
is abundant money in the banks for all
legitimate purposes, and although the
interest rate is little above normal,
the money is here and can be obtained
when needed. Institutions which make
business of lending money on real es-
tate for building purposes also report
that they have funds In abundance, and
this is good news to those in need Of
these funds,
The increase in the interest rates is
duo TO the demand for money here, as
well as in the east, but it is the eastern
demand that has caused the principal
advance. 1t is said that Salt Lake
bankers have boen urged to send large
sums Of money to the east. but that
they have declined to do so. upon the
ground that the money would be needed
at home and that they would prefer
serving their own customers first.
