Butter and eggs were in better supply and easier in price; the former sold at 23@26c and the latter st 26E&27c for strictly choice and fresh, while cheese was held firm at quotations, Flour continues quiet, though a fair movement on local account, while other mill stuffs met with good sales at quots- tions, Cut ments and lard continue quiet at Iast week’s quotations, The receipts cf hogs were liberal, 119 cars during the week, packers paying $5 75 for fgood.

Sarr Lake Ciry, Docember 20— The opinions exprossed in your edi- torials of tho 234 inst. voico the senti- ments of far more of the non-Mormon residents of Utah than s generally imaginod. Becauso & radleal fow muke themselves conspionous by de- manding all sorts of tmpossible legis- lation for Utah, it is widely supposed that they represent the whole Gentlle population of this torritory, This ls a mistake. Tho groater portion of this class wish to live at poaco with their Mormon nelghbors, The Mormons aro honest in their business arrango- ments, capable artizans, thrifty citi- rons, and, whon employed, usually trustworthy sorvants, As such their follow citizens aro quite willing . | Still T observe that some of our to do businoss and live in harmony with them: but persons of this kind do not rush into print, itinerate through the country with seneational harangues, or get up peti- tions to congress to suppress every- thing that offonds their gontility tional solons seem dotermined to “‘meddle and muddle” the Mormon problem, as Lord John Ruesell was cueed of doing with England's foreign policy. As referred to in a former lotter, ono of tho most unsatisfactory laws, that is, one which will prove most unsatisfectory in its results, is the ono now degired to compel Mor- mon wives to testily againat their hus- bands in cases of polygamy. “‘Humsan nature is human nature,” rome one has sagely remarked, and Mormon womenkind is very much like other womenkind all the world over, and the dear creatures aro just as stubborn in these parts as anywhere elee.
