An Instance of the enormous sa
wing of time and money that q
clearing house system means to a
hank in Obylatlng the necessity of
sending daily individual items to
the different institutions for col :
lection was shown in New York
one day last week, when the clear
ancesOf the Chatham National Bank
amounted to the sum of 81 1923. =
694, yet were settled by the pay
ment of only 10 cents in actual
cash. This is said to have been
the smallest credit BALANCE that any
bank has bad at the New York
Clearing house since 1873, when a
balance was settled for The same
amount. The record may ne of
interest to those who may be fond
of such, bnt it Is something more
than u record to the thinking pub
lie. The transaction in which the
Chat nam National Bank figured is
an exposition of the marvellous
perfection of modern methods of
business, as compared with those
of fifty years ago. The transac-
tion may have covered collections
on two or three hundred similar
institutions Under the old sys
tenn, each institution would have
had to be visited by the runner of
the bank, and no runner could
perhaps have made the collections
in II single day, yet by the mutual
exchange at the clearing house, the
payment OF one dime cleared the
slate. The last fifty years may
have seen great advances made in
SCIENCE and art, but it has also
seen The marvellous expansion of
commerce and the change in the
methods of carrying on that com
mcrce. The above instance Is but
one out of many Of the changes
which could he cited. -Ex.
