MONEY IS PLENTIFUL

The local financial situation during
the last week was reported TO be en-
tircly satisfactory by local bankers,
who generally declared there had been
an excellent demand for money, par
tlcularly from agricultural districts
outside of Salt Lake. This is taken
as a healthy indication of continued
agricultural development, which, it is
declared, is of vital importance to
prosperous conditions.
While the clearing house record for
the week was checked somewhat on
account OF Lincoln 3 birthday, We'd
nesday, which was legal holiday,
comparison with records for the same
period III previous years shows steady
increase, which is accepted to great
extent as a barometer of money cir
culation.
General business conditions during
the week were good. while only a few
transactions were made in the local
stock and bond list. Utah Hotel bonds
advanced slightly, as did Home Fire
Insurance company and Heber j. Grant
& Co. bonds.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the Consolidated Wagon &
Machine company was largely attend
