Clearing House Exehanges-An Unusual
Feature.
New YORK, March 30th.-Tte Public says
There is an unusual feature in the Clearing
house returns this week. There is but one
important city that reports smaller ex-
change than those of the corresponding week
of last year, and that city, strange to say, is
Chicago. Although the increase of some
points is remarkably high, and the aggregate
increase outside of New York and at this
city is greater than last week, nevertheless
the transactions are small. The reason is
that last year the pause in the operations
which usually precedes the April settlements
was generally more marked and important
than this year, but the movement at Chicago
last year was unexceptionably sustained
while the usual decrease in the amount of
exchanges as the month draws near its end
fully appears this season.
