CHICAGO,

The Weekly Review of Chicago Trade,
published by Il. G.. Dun & Co., says:
Payments through the banks, as re-
Elected by the volume of bank clearings,
are the greatest i'll over five months, and
now compare closely with the normal.
Commercial defaults again make an en-
Couraging exhibit in decreased numbers
and liabilities. but there is yet evidences
Of liquidation on old indebtedness, al
though not adversely affecting the I'M
proved position of credits.
business generally indicates a moder-
ate gain in activity, particularly at fac
tories and in merchandising, but caution
remains the keynote, and new demands
fall short of expectations in iron and
steel.
An outstanding feature is the gradual
increase of machinery and hands employ
ed in production. Some plants engaged
in metal, wood and leather working have
become larger consumers of crude sup
plies, and their outputs mainly exceed
those of Il month ago, although only in
a few instances is there closer approach
to the former active capacity.
Ship building has lapsed into further
| dullnesS. and lake tonnage compares an
favorably with a year ago.
Better indications are found in rail and
furnace operations, car building, heavy
construction, farm implements n ma
chincry.
Weather conditions have favored a sea-
sonablc expansion in leading retail lines,
and local sales reflect a gratifying distri-
button of nccrSsaries. Dealings make Il
fair aggregate in dry goods, food pro-
ducts, mems furnishings and footwear.
Mail orders include numerous supplement-
airy lists for immediate shipments to the
interior.
Bank clcarings. S243,279, 1913, are 9.7
per cent under those Of corresponding

trict number y, against % last week and
