CLEARINGS SHOW INCREASE
Salt Lakes Good Showing For Last
Three Months.

The bank clearings yesterday were
434,919.36, compared with $685., 1859 for
the corresponding day OF last year.
Bradstreet's, in its review of the
bank clearings for the entire country,
shows a decrease of 10 per cent for
the first three months of the year,
compared with the clearings for Janu-
airy, February and March Of last year.
For this same period the clearings of
Salt Lake increased from S25,S45, SAG in
1899 TO S27. 035. 764 for the quarter closed
on March 31st. This is an increase of
over 51z per cent. Compared with the
entire country this is good, but COM
pared with an increase of 12.2 per cent
for the far-western cities, il is not
so good.
The far-western cities include San
Francisco, Denver. Salt Lake, Seattle,
Portland. Los Angeles, Spokane, Ia
coma and Helena. Salt Lake makes the
poorest showing in the group in the
per centage of increase with the single
exception Of H.iena, Montana.

a. nor cent Of the island may be placed

of the large laboring class Of means
Of livelihood. This large body OF Ia
boring people furnishes the very cheap
and effective labor which IS needed for
Agricultural and other work, but at all
times they have been in an underted
and poorly nOurished condition.
Their hardships have been greatly
added to By the scarcity or fruit since
