CLEARlSGs OF PRINCIPAL CITIES.
The Public Of last week, in giving its accustomed
summary OF tue clcarings of the banks OF the prin-
cpal cities, says that - during the month OF Sep
tc,nber business was remarkably good in spots.
While some localities gained largely, others lost,
even in comparison with the notable dullncss OF
September, 1916. 1t becomes more clear that
every day that whatever Of reyivin. prosperity we
yet discern is due to the marketin. IN cxccp-
tlona!ly large crop Of grain. In the South and
Southwest, including st. Louis, proofs OF increased
activfty are lacking, aud recent storms have rem
dcrel the prospect less clear. East of the Ale
ghanies business improves wherever the grain go.s
in larger quantity, namely, at New York ana Bal
tsmorc, but declines everywhere else. The iron
and coal business make little progress unless the
last weeks transactions ut Pttsburg are siyn OF
Improvement On the Pacific coast there has been
large advance Of late, but only recent gain in
parison with last years operations. But the North
west, and especially Milwaukee, Chicago, and
Kansas City show real and large Improvement
At Milwaukee, especially, owing to the short crop
last year. the gun appears extraordinarily large,
being nearly III per centum for the last week and
70 per centuln for the last month";
FAVORABLE INDICATIONS oF TIE LONDON

The London EcaSomist turns like the Public to
the returns Of the Clearing House. and finds in the
though faint in character, which lead to the idea
that revival in business NAV be looked for. The
Clearing House returns, which have declined for
three years past, show signs Of improvement.
1.-THE improvement is too recent and too slight
to build omit amy distinct opinion that the long
continued stugnation OF the last few years has
passed entirely away; and we are far from imply

FINANCIAL.

With activity In mercantile circles thronehontthe
city, AMI increasing counter Transactions the banks
continue to exhibit the almost contradictory spec
tacle OF discount business that is nothing more
than moderate. The financial requirements OF the
business community have been light SO far during
the present season, owing to the large private cap
ital possessed by the firms to which the great bulk
Of the trade has fallen. and to the growth OF the
cash and short-time style Of doing business. The
last two or three duys have seen indications OF all
increase i'll the offerings Of mercantile paper, and
the banks expect more liberal patronage this onth
than lust. The demands Of the country for the
loan of city capital have continued very steady for
many weeks, and, although rcdscounts have not
been quite heavy this week as last, they are not
materially below the average.
Rates Of discount were SOLO per cent at the
banks to regular customers. On the street good
call loans are negotiated ut per cent, and first
class time loans at 6G57 per cent.
The country orders for currency are lighter.

European Complications.

II Is not impossible that recent events in
| France may preeipiiate the general European
war that the Russo. Turkish embroglio seems
so far to have been inadequate to. Il Bis
marck persists in holding, or pretending to
hold, the triumph of the de Broglie move
ment as committing France to the designs OF
the ultra-montanes, it is not apparent how a
collision between France and Germany can
be avoided. In such an event Italy would
probably be involved through sympathy with
what would appear as almost the direct inter.
vention of Germany in behalf of Italian unity.
| What effect this would have upon the settle
| ment Of the Eastern trouble is difficult to
prognosticate. The natural arrangement of
alliances would seem to involve England as
against Russia and Germany as with that
power. If Austria could be brihed with just
so much territory as would not alarm Germa-
ny, we might have the spectacle of Russia,
Germany Italy and Austria arrayed against
England, France and Turkey. In such an
event minor powers standing in the way of
the great contestants might be forced to take
sides, though their doing so could scarcely
influence the result. Ii would not be difficult
TO forecast the winners in such contest, and
because this is so, cautious England might
prefer to submit TO humiliation and some cur
tailment Of provincial power rather than ven.
ture upon the doubtful arbitrament of war.
