mine conditions and
THE STOCK MARKET
From Th® Mining; Review
People often complain that
times are dull, that
tight and that there is no demand
for mining stocks. Some attrib
ute this condition to financial
situations east; to the fact that
tariff tinkering is going on, or
that it is doubtful to foretell
what may result from the
reciprocity measure. They look
at the stock quotation board
and wag their heads in dismay
over the low ebb of the market
and deplore the fact that there
is no

money in the country.
A week later, possibly, a strike
is reported in some property
listed on the board, and quota
tions pick up a little. The next
week a mammoth body of high
grade ore is reported in an ad
joining property, and the busi
ness on the exchange is doubled
in volume. Within a short time
several other mines in the same
district come to the front with
splendid surprises, and, the first
thing the doleful ones know, the
market is so full of excitement
that the whole city looks
amazed; while stocks, so low in
value a few weeks before, and
quoted at figures that would
barely pay for surface improve
ments, have jumped 50, 100
500 per cent in selling value.
It is hard to imagine such a
condition of affairs, but they
have been experienced in Salt
Lake time and time again, and
so often, in fact, that it has been
clearly demonstrated that there
is plenty of money in the country
and that it will come out if
opportunity is offered for fairly
profitable investment or specula
tion. This shows that the mines
themselves have the greatest in
fluence on the stock market; that
when the mines are in position to
earn money for dividend require
ments and show evidences of per
manency, money will be forth
coming for the purchase of their
stocks, regardless of proposed
tariff or reciprocity measures;
and that most of this will be
home money, without depending
upon the east for any of the sin
ews of war.

It is lucky for us that we are in so thrifty a country since
we decided to CLOSE OUT our large stock of Pianos.
