BUSINESS CHIT!
I UTAH REPORTED
FAVORABLE
Following la the weekly trad and
finance letter of John C. Cutler Jr
& Co
Although rhe business situation is
somewhat unsettled n the United
States, (hp outloc-k is improving and
Hie volume of trade is well main
tained.
In (Jtafa there is moderate activity
in business An upward tendency I
noted in Rome lines of trade such
as staple groceries, canned meats,
drugs old Hour and sugar. Quite a
large volume of men handise lias been
sold at retail during the summer
through special season sales but at
only a small profit. The distribu
tion of hardware, farm maehinorv and
building materials has been well sus
tained. There has been some cur
tailment in the mining industry on
L account of the lack of demand for cop
per and other metals caused by the
war in Europe All the crops indi
cate excellent prospects and harvest
ing Is under way in some sections.
The digging of beets will commence
early next month and It is expected
'hat the Amalgamated Sugar compa
ny, will start operations at its Ogden
factor-, about September 10 and the
l "t.'i h-Idaho Sugar company will com
mence to slice beets at its Garland
factory about Septembei 12, and at
the Lehl factory on September 20
The yield of beets in Idaho and I'tah
Win probably be a little better than
the average so there should be a large
production of refined sugar
NoW l hat tourist travel to Europe
is closed people ought to visit the
vscst and especially see Utah, where
the climate Is ideal and the moun
tain canyon scenery is so grnnd.
Local securities have been in fair
demand and supply lately Consoli

stock said at $89 per share, I'tah
Idaho Sugar company stock sold up
to $7 per share and small sales

O clerks, together with the families
of all the postal employes, participate

The principal feature of the d 1
was a baseball game between the Salt

I men. The teams played nine innings
to a L' to 2 tie and were forced to
quit playing on account of darkness
The contest was one of the best ever
staged on the Lagoon grounds
When the other employes arrived
late in the afternoon, a basket lunch-!

by a concert by the Salt Lake Clerks

ture of the evening The band has a
