Show THE BONDS SOLD. New York Bankers Buy $123,000 of Territorial Bonds. This morning word was received from the Union National Bank, of Salt Lake, by Cashier W. II. Dusenberry, of the First National Bank, of this city, that $123,000 of the territorial bonds had been sold to Blair & Co. bankers of New York city, with y. v: and accrued interest from January 1, 1891. The bonds are to be delivered to the American Exchange National Bank, of New York city, and are payable pay-able on or after March 7. 1891. This will be good news to many, as it will enable the contractors of the work on the Asylum building to settle accounts, and thus enable others to settle theirs. The prompt sale of the bonds is due to the step taken by the board of directors di-rectors of the Asylum, in ordering the treasurer to call in their proportion of the bonds with a view to disposing of them, as it seemed the loan commissioners commis-sioners had some trouble in doing so. Work will now be resumed on .the Asylum until its completion, and business busi-ness will appear brighter in consequence. |
