BANK CLBARINGS
CLIMBING AGAIN
Bank Clearings. .$753,7s7.


This week the bark clearings loom
up to the old-time figures, which
shows that money has been travelling
rather lively this week. The open
ing of the tobacco season Is believed
TO have a part in the circulation of
money and then the fact that the
election is over. Campaigns always
made business uncertain, and once
more the people have gotten down to
plain business Sales at the BONNER
loose leaf warehouse will begin Mon
day. while all of the tobacco houses
are preparing for a lively business
The pleasant weather. while de-
lightful to the people, has been serl-
Gus to the business people who
would receive a heavier trade with
cold and wet weather. The pleasant
weather has given the farmers an ex-
cellent opportunity to harvest the
crops. some of which were late ow-
ing to wet weather in the spring.
The fact that the contract for Pa
ducah's first sky scraper was let this
week has caused considerable COM
ment. while other building activity
is giving the contractors hope. Next
spring a building boom 1t is believed
will strike the city.
