or philadelphia brick a high price for fine hud ornamental work but those days have gone by and utah brick by its super superior ir quality a and nd cheapness now leaves too no room for the importations in comparison with other brick on exhibition at the worlds fair the utah article was reported on to be equally as an strong and durable as the best though not quite so smoothly finished as some the difference in this respect is however very sl PI and due to the nature ol of the clay the utah brick Is in now bow produced in all the usual colors and grades required of course the production this year has been largely below that of 1892 and only about half of the agop amou t which was anticipated by manufacturers would be Decess necessary ury when they began operation a last

last laet july the effect was immediately precept ible upon brick manufacturers the buildings in course of erection and a number of small houses went on but the usual extensive construe construction of the autumn season was almost entirely stopped so the brick men suddenly had to curtail the he output one t fleet effect of this to is that now there is an unusually light winter stock on hand but even this will probably be enough forthe for the demand in fairly prosperous Peas oDea a combined supply of brick Is not regarded as excessive for the winter season this year the amount on blind band
