SOME BIG FIGURES.
Bank Clearings Equal to Those Of the
Rushing Season Of Year.
PITTSBURG POINTS WITH PRIDE.
THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF TIE CITY

Yesterday was a red-letter day OF the
Clearing House. The exchanges were S.
100, 715 81, while the balances footed up
1854, SSS 81. Eight OF the banks came in
with over 5000, 900 each and some with
nearly $780, 900. These figures are not de-
ceptive. They show a degree OF prosperity
which would be creditable to the best season OF
the year. For midsummer they are peculiarly
significant.
Manager Chaplin said: "Clearings have been
large all season. Those OF to-day are among
the best of the year. They show that business
is good all round. If this we're not so, checking
would be lighter. The one is the complement
of the other. Some of the checking repre-
sented in to-day's report was, no doubt, on ac-
count of interest and dividend disbursements.
but the bulk of 1T represents actual business
transactions-buying and selling. l expected
brisk season, but the reality has exceeded my
| anticipations. There has been no halt in the
activities of the city, and think 1t safe to say
there will be none. We will enter the tall
trade with everything in full swing"
PIttsburg Points With Pride.
While citizens of Allegheny City are rejoic-
ing over their civil progress during the past 90
years, it should not be forgotten that Pittsburg
has made a great advance in the same period
of time. Fifty years ago the population of
Pittsburg was 3S93l. Now it approximates
250.0O0. Fifty years ago the outlying districts
were cattle ranges and hunting grounds. Now
they are thickly settled, and full of hustle,
business and wealth. The buildings of so years
ago, many of which survive in the older parts
OF the city, were generally small and destitute
of architectural adornment. Now they will

city in the country. Business expansion has
been SO great as to be without a parallel in
modern times. Pittsburg is justly proud of
her achievements during the past half GEN.
tury.
1t is unnecessary to pursue this subject. 1t
is alluded to merely to impress the public that
Pittsburg has fourished as well as her
neighbor. Both have done well. They are
thrifty and vigorous. Full of enterprise and
push, with plenty of means and unlimited
credit it would be difficult to fix their positions
at the end of the next so years. That their
progress will be greater than in the past seems
assured.
