 CLEARING HOUSES.

Modern Methods That Facilitate the Bust
 ness of the Banks-ImpOrtance of the
 Clearing House In Times of Financial
 StrinEency.
 The commercial banks of large cities could not get along at all without their clearing houses. for the abolition of these useful institutions would necessi- tate a return to the old messenger sys- tenn, under which banks had to send every check received from depositor to the bank on which 1t was drawn and have it settled in cash. The system was cumbersome and slow, and it fire quently happened that even banks em- ployiug a large corps of messengers could not make all their settlements in one day. This meant serious loss as well as inconvenience, for the delay involved loss of interest. and to overcome these drawbacks tRe clearing house system was devised. Under this system two men for each bank accomplish in few min utes the work that used 10 keep snal army of messengers running about towT for an entire day.
 But this Is not the only business oi the clearing house nor that by which il has attained its greatest importance il the eyes of the people, an importanc, largely magniied by recent events. Be
