THE great record made by the Salt
Lake cleating house in the past few
weeks has set many people to
wondering Just how that institution in
dicates the amount of business trans
acted in the city and the financial &C
tivity of the community The hank
clearings are not an absolute test of a
city's business. but they are one Of the
best tests known in the business world.
The Salt Lake clearing house is made
up of the following eleven banks: Utah
Commercial & Savings, Wells. Fargo
& Co, Mccormick x Co, Deseret Ma
uonai, T. r. Jones & Co. Walker Bros.
Comm ercial National, State Bank of
Utah, National Bank of the Republic.
Bank Of Commerce and the Utah Ma
uonaL The Utah Savings & Trust and
the Zion Savings & Trust are not in the
organization because until lately thew
mad not done a general banking bust
ness.
The present officers Of the clearing
house are, John Z. DOOly, president;
l. ,. Hills, vice president: W. s. Nc
Cornlck, secretary and treasurer. F.
NJ Nicholson, manager. Messrs. Dooly.
Hills, Mccormick, Jones and Knox con-
Stitute the executive committee. The
greater part of the work of the insfi-
tuition devolves upon the manager. The
officers are elected each year.
The clearing house meets in the di-
rectOrS room Of the Utah National
bank at u o'clock every day except
saturday, when II o'clock is the hour

idea Of the clearing house in active op-

The session of the general officers
was harmonious and at its conclusion

with the results achieved by the con-

clearing house and collects it there, as
stated above This will give an idea
of the value of the clearing house in
expediting banking business
The clearing house has other func-
tions besides settling the balances be-
tween the different banks. Such fUnc-
tiOns are the mutual assistance Of the
banks included in times Of embarrass-
ment; the fixing of uniform rates OF IN
terest on deposits; the fixing Of uni
form rates Of exchange and other
charges for collections, and the lssu-
ing of clearing house loan certificates.
The clearing house IS Invaluable IN
times Of panic when q run IS liable 70
be made on the best bank in the COM
munity as the result Of some idle ru-
NOR Then the clearing house gets be-
hind that bank and sees 1t safely
through its difficulty by letting it have
funds till the strain is relaxed This
assistance is based, Of course. on the
assumption that the bank has been
properly conducted and that there is
nothing rotten in its management. A
case where the assistance. of the clear
ing house was withheld on this account
is the New York bank with which Per
~ Heath is connected, and when IS
now in the hands of the comptroller OF
the currency. If that bank had been
solvent the New York clearing house
would have seen it through its ldlfncul-
ties.
It is easy for business men to see
wherein the Salt Lake clearing house
has been Of the greatest possible ben
eft in a financial way to this ccmmu-
nitv. Since it's establishment there has
been no bank failure in the community
although a financial panic tried the
strongest institutions in the country
The business of the community is now
being rapidly built up. there Is unlm-
tied confidence in the stability or inc
city and its institutions, and even this
season. deals have been financed mere
without outside help that would h l-..,' {

G-GAR STOCKS GO DOWN
EFFECT OF REDUCTIONS IN THE
PRICE OF SUGAR.

BUSINESS in Salt Lake suffered dur
irg the past week from the intense
baas and there was a marked falling
of in trade activity in all lines. There
has not been that slump yet that usual
IN comes in the summer Nor -hs, but
tbs upward rush is retarded and a sea-
son oil quiet is looked for in many
lines.
The falling of in general business is
reflected in the bank ciearings. These
ara far ahead of last wear still. and the
percentage OF increase is stIl ahead of
that of any other city in the country.

tom for the week. The leading men n
both the Ogden and the Utah cOmpa-
