Bank Cleartngs and Clearing Houses.
Bank clearings are an important factor in
commercial matters, showing, as they do,
the amount of money in circulation and
thus, to a certain extent, the volume of
business. The amount of money passing
through the clearing houses in the larger
cities is enormous. New York's clearings
average about $500, 0o0, o00a week. Boston
about $10o. 900, 00e and Philadelphia and
Chicago about $75, sOe, 900 each. The ex-
traordinarily large transactions Of the New
York clearing house are partially explained
by the fact that the banks of Brooklyn and
other neighboring cities clear through New
York banks, and the United States sub
treasury business, in itself very considera-
BILE item, also passes through the city banks.
There are SO banks in New York, As of
which are national banks with capital of
SAC, 65e, 900 and surplus Of nearly $40, GEO.
600, and 43 are State banks with SIG, 762, 900
capital. Sixty-three Of these banks are
members Of the clearing house association,
the others clsarisg through banks that are
members.
Only eight Of the New England sitiss have
clearing houses, viz, Boston. Providence,
Hartford, New Haven, Springfield, Woroes-
ter, Portland and Lowell, and In average vol
ume of clearings the cities rank as above.
The average weekly transactions of these
clearing houses amount to about $115, 000,-
900.
The New Haven Clearing House association
was organized December 81, 1872, aud the
ten State and national banks of the city are
members. Each bank conducts the clearing
house in turn for three months, and the
weekly transactions average about $780,
600. WE. Day is president and w. Fields
secretary.
The Hartford clearing house was organized
in November, 1852, and consists of fifteen
banks and trust companies, each member be-
coming the clearing house for . month at
time. The weekly transactions are In the
neighborhood of 81, 900, 900. James Bolter
is president and George F. Hills secretary.
The Springfield clearing house was estab-
lished in 1873 and has ten members. Charles
Marsh is president and n. q. Bowman scores
tary. The average weekly transactions are
little less than those of New Haven.
The weekly statements of bank olsarings
show that the clsarings of the various cities
are not commensurate with their size in pop
ulation. Thus Boston, which ranks 6fth in
population, comes next to New York In vol-
ume of elesrings, and Hartford, which ranks
ninth or tenth among New England cities,
comes third In volume OF clearances, show
ing IL to be leading city In money matters
The weekly olearings throughout the country
lin cities whore clearing houses are estab-
lished) amount to nearly billion and quar-.
ter dollars, or for the year, to the enormous
total of $s5, geo, 600, 0o0.-Cennecticut Real

the Threshing Machines then
in use were almost wholly of
the class known as the Endless

Nichols & Shepard, of Battle
Greek, Mich. .,inventedandbegan
to develop an entirely new and
novel style of Grain Thresher and
Separator, which theyveryappro-
priately named the "Vibrator."
1t was a revolution in Thresh-
ing Machines, and from a small
beginning of five machines in
1858 they soon reached a pro-
duct of 1000 yearly.
Their Vibrator drove the END
less Apron" machine out of mar
ket, and all other makers copied
it as closely as they dared. To-
day all Threshing Machines Of
any reputation or merit use the
principles of the old Vibrator.

THURSDAY. JUNE p, 1889.

WITHIN two months the Republicans
of Ohio will enter upon a political cam
paign of tremendous Importance. Bel
mont County will be an important factor
in the struggle, and it is important that
the Republicans of the county shall be
in position to make an aggressive and
vigorous fight. THE CHRONICLE will be
found a useful helper in the good Cause.
We hope to largely extend its circula-
tion, and to that end offer it in clubs of
ten and upward from the 4th of July
until the 9Th of November for % cents.
This low rate ought to add one thous-
and, or more, to its circulation, and it is
safe to say five thousand more persons
would weekly have the opportunity to
read Republican paper. Brethren is
there anything else you can do likely to
produce such good results? One thOus-
and, or more, campaign subscribers can
easily be procured if Republicans at each
post-Ofiice in the county will appreciate
the mighty help this increased constitu-
ency will afford in the campaign.

NO WEAKENING.

Cleveland Leader
Fresh evidence that the repeated de-
featS of constitutional prohibition do
not, by any means, imply weakening
of the anti-saloOn feeling of the Ameri-
can people or the end of legislation in
the interests of temperance is afforded
by the passage of a new local option
law in the Michigan Legislature. The
same men who are unwilling to weaken
and degrade the organic law of States
by attempting impossibilities are quite
ready to see the liquor traffic outlawed
wherever the sentiment of a community
is sufficiently opposed to it to make pro-
hibition reasonably effective.

THE SUNDAY LAWS IN OHIO.

The ST NDA1 LAWS IN OHIO.
New York Tribune.
The liquor interest in Ohio doubtless
realizes now if it never did before that
the Owen law means business, and is to
be enforced. This excellent measure
provides for the closing of saloons on
Sunday, and barkeeper who recently
broke it has been sent to the workhouse
for twenty days and fined 800. 1t is
stated that the SaloonkeeperS' AssOcia-
ton of the State, while agreeing to as
sist members who have been arrested.
declines to order members to violate the
law. Such declination is the better
part of valor. 1t is possible, however,
that with Imprisonment and fines staring
them in the face most of the members
will decline on their own account to be-
cLme law breakers without regard to the
attitude of the association. People in
this country who fight against a law
which has public sentiment behind it
are about as sensible as the bull that
tried to buck the limited express off the
track
CATTLE LAST YEAR AND NOW.
Pittsburgh StOckman.
June, 1888, was marked by a sharp
advance in cattle, more phenomenal
than was generally expected, and last
ing until cold weather. This year a
much less advance occurred earlier, the
greater part of which has been held up
to this time; vet the month of June finds
cattle appreciably lower than year ago.
Nor is there anything in the air just
now to create a sanguine hope of strong
improvement. The feeling in cattle is
slightly better again, but cattlemen are
very conservative in their expressions
about the future, and are evidently in
disposed to discount any good which
may be in store. The effect of repeated
disappointment and prOtracted discOur-
agement was never more manifest than
now.

A CONCLUSION REACHED.

A CONCLUSION REACHED.
Cleveland Leader.
\ Democrat named Gardner, who
holds seat in the Connecticut Senate,
is reported to have explained his oppo-
sition to the secret ballot, or Australian
plan" bill, which passed the Legislature
of his State only to be vetoed by the
Governor, by stating that 2l2 voters out
of $50 in the town of Stonington, in his
district, would sell their votes, and he
wished to protect them in that right!
This is little the coolest of the many re-
markable and disgraceful utterances of
the enemies of ballot reform and pure
elections, when hard pushed to defend
their position.
