Show TRADE OUTLOOK. The most remarkable year of 1P15 having par-sed into history, all eyes are now turned to the f n tore. During the p'it twelve months all expert record's? have been broken, but the .demand for American products continues and before the close of 1016 the -United States will probably have enjoyed a foreign trade which will cot be equaled or surpassed for many years to come. There is no hanging back at the present time, no thought of waiting to see how the presidential presi-dential election will turn out. All is hurrv and but-t!e from one end of the country to tb o'rher. Word comes from the trad-3 centers -til a-.' heavy orders for -prirfg goods have already-ben booked and that there is a feeling of confidence , on every hard. " i 1 So far as we know do-dp of the great industries is suffering at the present time, excrpt it be that many of r'nem r"C i -'."dc '-Ln ord'"1- u - fa-rV- i;iev accumulate. So American merchants and manufacturers start in the new year at a high rare of speed and with the determination de-termination to leave the 19b". record far in the rear. The same feeling animates ani-mates all other ela.-ses of society and the result is prosperity iu every walk of life. This is just as true of Utah as it is of any other part of the country, aud we see signs of a great bunes- revival ; all around us. Not only the signs, but j the Tvival itself. When an accounting i is taken we dare say the figures will I show that the Salt Lake merchants are ! doing more busines at the present time jtha.n ever before, but not to compare with what they will do in the yxt ! twelve months. Owing to the heavy demand, both foreign for-eign and domestic, for foodstuffs and al kinds of manufactured products, it W"H! not be surprising if there is an ad-vauc- iu juices. In fact, theommercial agencieV have predicted such an outcome, out-come, burNjve do not look for any of the staples to get out- of reach of the laborer or th'ft, small-salaried man or woman. Prices', are regulated by the law of supply andSie,maud, unless there be cojubi nations, wbfb are well nigh impossible at the present time. Anyway; Any-way; labor is well employed and the people have the money with which to pay for what they get. |
