Seattle bank eiearances for 1897 show an
increase of s7.sSs .ls3-ea over the previous
year A comparative statement for the
TWO years was yesterday issued by the
Clearing House Association. and the re-
suit. as shown In black and white. is an
establishment 10 even the bankers who,
while approaching the wonderful vigor
that has been infused into all lines OF BUSH
ness, hardly realized the extent OF the
change to prosperous conditions until il
was forced upon them by the comparison.
According 10 the statement a sudden jump
was taken last August and, since that
time. the Improvement in every branch OF
changes. The clearanees in July, 1897.
were s2.s.i. l23.7s. in December they were
s, os1. 745oS.
The opinions OF three bankers as to the
cause of the increase and its nature were
sought last night They were r. r. Spen-
Ger. cashier of the National Bank OF Com
meree, T.. W. Andrews. president OF the
Seattle National bank, and Herman Cha
pin, president OF the Boston National

measure 10 general activity in business
circles, but more particularly to the in
creased trade caused by the klondike traf-
nc. / do not believe il will hold I'D TO
what ii will reach in the next three
months; that is, | think exchanges will
be abnormally large during the height OF
the rush and that after IL Is over they
will drop to a natural level Unquestion-
ably, however, averages win be increased
by the larger trade. portion OF the in
crease is due to the large payment of taxes
induced by the action Of the state In
throwing Off penalty and interest. The
prospects for this year are very bright
E. w. Andrews thought the increase due
to divers reasons. There has been he
said. such a general revival in business
that II is hard to pick upon any one point
that could be considered the chief cause
of the present condition of prosperity in
banking. The lumber and shinglemen are
all making money. The packing of fish,
which has heretofore been done principal
~ in Portland. was transferred TO this city
this year and made the movement In
money very brisk for the brief season ii
lasted. Improvement In those two lines
has been most satisfactory 10 the banks.
though II increases the eiearances rather
than the deposits The business of all our
customers Is doubled and. naturally. what
is good for them. is good for US. Take the
leather industry. for instance One large
firm Is doing three times as much business
now as II did last year. The booming of
such a business would escape general at
tention. Yet it is one of the many factors
in the growth of bank clearances. 1t is
so in all lines OF trade and the sudden

add to prosperity that would have exist
