BANK cLEARlNes OF THE WEEK

Is prosperity already on tap with the
probable election Of Mr.. Taft?
Such is indicated at least by the re-
port Of the clearings Of the Winning
ton Clearing House Association for the
week ending to-day as compared with
the corresponding week of last year.
For the first time within many
months this wears clearings exceed
those of last year. For the week end.
ing to-day the clearings amounted 20
I.S57.796; for the corresponding weel,
of last year the clearings We're $l,2S2,-
27S. This gives for tlis year an ex-
cess Of S75.51S. The excess isn't large
from the bankers viewpoint but be-
comes mighty significant when one can
not recollect a month of this year II,
which the clearings of week of this
year even euuaied the clearings of a
corresponding week of 1907.
