Show TRADE AND BUSINESS. The weT?k has been largely a political week, but business has by no means been neglected The realty situation Is awaiting the Issue of the election on Tuesday next. If Thompson Is elected, there will be a boom, undoubtedly, all are expecting It. and the letters sent In from abroad on the subject are all to the effect that the city will take on a tremendous impetus to the good with the success of the American ticket.

Notwithstanding the political furore, however, there was a marvelous increase in-crease In the city's bank clearances, compared with those of the corresponding correspond-ing week last year the increase reaching reach-ing the magnificent figures of 93.5 per cent. This tells Its own story of the year's growth In business The mines continue their great output out-put of half a million dollars a week They are kept In magnificent condition, too. with the ore reserves well maintained, main-tained, and the prospecting kept so well advanced that the supply 0f ore Is not only assured for a long time In advance, but it is actually and literally in sight. It ,s this careful management manage-ment and practical forethought that keep Utah's mines the favorites in the Investment world. The troubles with which the smelters l-v 'he burning of n.
