Information as to what the outcome is
to be. while others offer suggestions

ANNUAL CLEARlNGS REVIEWED
Some Interesting statistics EiabOr-
ated by ESradstreetS

New York, Jan. 5.-Bradstreet's review
of bank clearings for 1893 shows that the
total for the United States was S93, 904, s32,-
CSC, an increase of S25,09f. 1885, 25 over the
total of 1898. New York ranks first among
the cities with a total for the year Of
$50, 761, 81, 200; Boston is second with 81,
pS6, 80, 271, and Chicago is third with So
612313,6n. The clearings for 1889 were
more than double those for 1S94. Boston,
in 1899. moved ahead Of Chicago, the
latter city dropping to third place. Phil
adelphia, ST. Louis. Pittsburg, Baltimore,
San Francisco Cincinanti, Kansas City
and Minneapolis maintain the rank held
in 1898. Cleveland, which was in thir-
teenth place in 1898, however, moved up
to twelfth place, displacing New Orleans,
which is now thirteenth. Detroit also
gained at the expense OF Louisville, and
Omaha. which was sixteenth in 1898 fell
two places in, 1899 Buffalo gained one
20 int, at the expense of st. Paul. Den
yer and Richmond also moved 10. st.
Joseph made further gain over the not
able jump that city took in 1898 and is
now twenty-fourth in the list as COM
pared with number forty in 1897. The
heaviest increase was tnat of IS per cent.
shown by Pittsburg. Exceptional activity
in the iron trade is, no doubt, responsible
for the gain and the increase of 81 per
cent gain shown at Cleveland,
