The friends of F. H. Whitaker. who

dent party, are making the greatest eff
forts to get him in the place as assist
ant district attorney, now held by Oscar

The Norfolk Public Ledger of yesteT-
day prints the following account OF bank
clearings showing the volume or pusl-
ness for that city:
The clearing of the Norfolk banks Tor
the year 1892. just compiled by Mr.. II. NJ.
Kerr, general manager for the Clearing
House Association. amount to sT.649,0SS,
as against ST, s53,037 for the year 1901.
This was an Increase during the year Of
So, 696 04l The cIearings of the Rich
lnond banks during the year amounted
to $1t2, 743. $685.. or s14652,344.S5 more than
they were during the preceding year,
The enormous large figures from Rich
inond, in comparison to those In Nor
folk, are explained by the fact that all
disbursements of State funds are made
in Richmond. which also has the bank
accounts of large monied interests. such
as the Williams syndicate and several
big railroads which are constantly dis
bursting money. Richmond, in addi-
ton to all this is the clearing house of
the State, a, 1T were. and has q large
business from banks in central and
western North Carolina.
Tho bank clearances of Richmond,
said Mr.. II. NJ Kerr to-day. amount to
more during the year than the clearances
of Norfolk and Atlanta. Ga. combined. =
The Norfolk clearances. which are by
far the largest in the State outside of
Richmond show a local business. it
is true that some business from Eastern
North Carolina and other contiguous
sections are included in the Norfolk fig
ures but the business shown by these
figures can i'll the end nearly all be called
local. Richmond's proportionate in
crease in bank clearanccs FOR the year
was 10 better than Norfolks.
The following is a statement OF the
Norfolk bank ciearances for the week
ending Dec. 81, 1902 and for the full
month of December, 1902:
