THE report of bank clearings for the
last week of November is but a repeti-
tion of preceding weeks and months.
The tendency is upward and onward.
The volume of business as reflected by
the transactions of the banks is practi-
cally unaffected by the recent specula-
tive raid and consequent failures of brok-
ers and few wildcat banks. The in
difference OF legitimate business to the
Vaccinations of stock gamblers is one of
the gratifying evidences of national
strength. The country has reached the
point where its commercial foundations
cannot be shaken by the wild yells of
the lambshearers of Wall street.

Jobbery in public works, and squandered
public moneys for the benefit of an oath

locomotive at point about three miles east
