or the thiry-three leading cities of the
United States which report weekly the
bank clearings, Omaha is the only one to
show an increase in clearings for the week
ending Saturday, November 16
President Yates OF the Omaha Clearing
House association said, when he read the
report:
II account for the increase In Omaha
simply on the fact that we are going on
with business here in the usual way and
most business men are unconscious OF the
fact that money is scarce or that there
has been a financial furry to disturb the
financial centers of the east The sound
business methods of Omaha business men
and bankers have enabled Omaha to keep
in the lead while other cities that have
regarded the furry too seriously have been
showing a decrease from week to week.
believe Omaha has no particular line
which would swell bank clearings. such as
big live stock and grain market. The
clearings are shown from day to day with
the ordinary legitimate trade and the situa-
tion simply shows the strength OF Omaha
as a market which 1t is bound to be, even

For four weeks since the clearing house
rule went into effect holding back money
and extending the check system, the
Omaha clearing house has reported an in

country have dropped from their high
places and reported decreases This week

reported decreases. Kansas City's clear

When the clearing house reported last

week Omaha is the only city to show an
increase, the clearings being s108s4.000, an

the clearing house rude was in effect the
clearings were S13725,OOO, an increase OF
25.5 per cent.
Besides maintaining it's place ahead of
other cities for business, the money market
in Omaha has not changed and loans are
said to be as easy as at the same time last
year. While interest rates have advanced
to as high as sh to 10 per cent in eastern
cities, call loans are quoted at to 81 in
Omaha and collateral time loans at to
