BANK CLEARINCS
SHOW GENERAL Loss
Detroit, However, Continues To
Boom. Increase for August
Being Over Is Per Cent

According to statistics compiled by
r. g. Dun & Co.. which include re-
turns from 1873 cities In the United
States, bank exchanges for August
make a somewhat Indifferent COM
parison with a year ago. but show
moderate Improvement over 1911. the
total amounting to $12.326.5l3,34S, a
decrease OF 81 per cent as compared
wit hthe same month last year. and
OF 10 az contrasted with the cores
ponding month In 1911. The total,
however, Ia somewhat reduced by the
fact that the month this year con-
tanned one less business day.
/ The majority of the leading com
mercial manufacturing cities in the
Central states report improvement
over both years. Cleveland. Detroit,
Milwaukee. DAYTON. Toledo Akron
Evansville, Fort Wayne and South
Bend being among the number, aud
the increase for that division over
both previous years clearly reflects
q very we'll sustained volume OF gen
eral business. In the west satisfac.
tory crop results have been followed
by increased commercial activity, and
bank clearings at numerous centers
display considerable expansion, no
tably at Minneapolis, Duluth, Cedar
Rapids. Kansas City. Fremont, Lin.
coin, Wichita and Topeka, so that the
aggregate OF all the cities Included
in that section Is we'll above that of
either 1912 or 1911. On tlV Pacific
coast some loss at San Francisco and
several other points result In a rath-
er unfavorable comparison with last
year, but there Is marked improve
ment over the same month two years
ago. as the returns at almost every
city we're much larger than for that
period. Detroits clearings show an
Increase OF 1873 per cent over the
figures OF a year ago

Ter.
Besides the commission Of 2 1.2
derwriters would pocket fat profits
since the New York curb market for
the issue has already advanced the
price of the bonds six per cent above
par. There Is one barrier In the way
Of this bond issue. The Massachu.
sets railroad commission must ap-
prove 1t. When the question comes
up before the Bay State commission
next Tuesday, opposition stockhold-
ers will ask the pertinent question
should Morgan receive 2 IL per cent
commission on $7.552,40O for them
selves and their associates.
These questions were injected into
today's discussion of the Morgan
withdrawal. Wall-st. men declared
fatty that the whole thing "was q
grandstand play to give the public
the false impression that the house
OF Morgan Is getting away from all
connections with the New Haven
road" II was plainly pointed out that
the withdrawal merely meant That
the Morgans abrogated their present
contract to act as bankers for q pure
ly Morgan road, but that the major
ity stock ownership, and actual con-
troll of the road will remain with the
Morgan-Rockefeller interests. vt.
tention was called to the Morgan
stafement that Morgan, the banker,
a.ing cancelled his present Hnan.
cial agreement with Morgan, the rail.
road owner. has stated that the Nor.
gan bank Is prepared to sign up an
other financial agreement with the
Morgan railroad. II was predicted by
some OF the wise ones today in Wall.
st. that after the present hue and
cry dies down." the Morgan banking
company will come to a financial
agreement with the Morgan railroad.
