Bank cearings in 1894 were the smallest for

In examining the detailed figuerep for all
cities for 1894 it Is interesting to note that Only
IL of the 90 cities furnishing comparisons with
1893 shows increases In most instances these
increases are much scattered, being more nu-
merous south and southwest. In the southwest
Kansas City, Dallas. Memphis. Fors Worth and
Topeka show increases, ard in the south savan-
nah and Jacksonville. Two cities in Ohio,
Columbus and Canton, report gaina Other in
creases are those at Los Angeles, Dies Moines, at
Peoria and Bingham tol, II. Y. The heavieit
gain Ia at Topeka 20 per cent closely followed
by Fort Worth with % per cent, Dallas with

por ing about - per cent each. Peoria's gain

A GOOD BEGINNING FOR 95.
The average increase of Los Angeles for the
year 1894 was only "a per cent, but the last
week OK the year showed an increa of III
per cent over the corresponding week OF the
previous year. The new year has opened very
auspieiously, the increase for the week ending
January 9th, asesolusively anIioInoed by THE

AN IsJusTIcg TO I5s4XsGFLss.
| Attention IS hero called TO- the fact that
through the careless transhIission of Brad
streets weekly clearing house table, az tele.
graphed every night to the various morning
newspapers in the Associated Press, a great in
justice IS being done to, Los Angeles. For some
weeks past, in the telegrQphic report, the fig
ures representing the per cent for Los Angeles
have been placed in the decrease instead OF the
increase column. Two papers in Los Angeles
simultaneously receive copies Of this erronc-
ously transmitted table--the Times and Til =
HRRALD Tho former invariably prints IL as it
comes, no matter how misleading. the Even
ing Express, presumably copying from the
Times, repeats the error. TIA HERALD, alone.
OF all the Los Angeles papers, has EN- publish
Ing the correct hsures. TO parti01ariZe:
on Sunday The HERALD exclusively au-
nounced that the Los Angeles bank cearings
for the week ended Saturday, January 9Th
showed an increase Of I4.3 per cent compared
with the corresponding week OF 1894 us the
records of the. clearing house will prove
Thursday afternoon the secretary of the cear-
ing house wired the exchanges the per cent Vt
increase for the preceding week to BradstreeCs
in New Y DIRK. These figures were incorporated
in Brsdstrters weekly tabulated statement, and
photographed to the Associated Eress papers in
Los Angeles Friday night, but through the
blunder of some telegraph operator, the per
cert OF increase was placed In the decrease
and the Express published 1t as H. per cent
decrease.
sunday morning. December ~, 1894, The
HERALD, with ito accustomed accuracy and up
to-dateness, reported that the local bank ear
Ing TOR the preceding week showed an increase
o ler cent. Its contemporaries the fol-
low .lg Saturday ma5e 1t so much decrease.
Sunday, Decem Der 80 THE HEEALp repo ted
the remarkable increase of 117.2 per cent in
thebsuk clearlngs for the week just closed.
raries would probably have announ ed 117.2
per cent decrease had not the wires failed the
previous night so that Bradstreers table was
omitted from the rngnlar Aggnpiptad Press a.
port. No mention whatever was made by these
alleged neWSpa pers of the phenomenal increase
in the bank ciearances the last week of the
year.
THE HERALD now announces that the bank
clearances for the week ended January 18th
show an increase of so per cent, lacking a very
small fraction. Will its contem poraries next
Saturday report corresponding decrease?
