spending Week Last Year.

NEW YORK, December 23-Dun's Re-
view tomorrow will say:
Bank exchanges. although showing Il
slight Improvement over last week, are
sun far from satisfactory, the total this
week al all leading cites in the United
States aggregating only $2.77J,J4O11O, a
decrease of 1913 per cent as compared
with the corresponding week last year,
but gain of IL per cent, as compared
with the same week i'll 1896, the latter,
however. being largely accounted for by
the fact that the week that year con-
tanned only five business days.
The most pronounced decrease was
made by New York city due chiefly to
the dizziness of the speculative and imam
Ciai markets, bank ciearings at that CEN
ter being -o21 per cent less than last
year. The total at outside cities shows
d loss of only 4.6 per cent, and five out
OF the thirteen reporting make gains
Baltimore, Cleveland, St. Louis, New Or
leans and San Francisco. Some of these
are quite large. indicating the mainte-
nance of prosperity in the territory they
serve. On The other hand, at some cities.
notably in the east, there is further loss.
