ness Conditions.

ness GOnu1ClOnS.
Rather more favorable business con-
ditions are indicated by the continued
gain In bank clearngs over recent pre-
ceding weeks, but aggregate payments
stm compare adversely with the two
previous years. the total this week be-
ing S2.2s5, ,365.6i3 against 22,971,2ei,737
in 1918 ana S3,403 606,i3i IN 1912, thus
showing decreases Of 2S1 and 1913 per
cent. respectively.
These losses, however. are explained
by the fact that trading has not yet been
resumed at number OF the leading
speculative markets, and the effect Of
this is most apparent at New York city,
where there appears a decline Of S2.2
per cent in comparison with last year
and Of 43.4 per cent. in contrast with
two years ago.
The falling off at the outside centres
amounts to 60 and t1.o per cent, MIN
neapolis and Kansas city alone showing
any expansion over both 1918 and 1912,
while Cleveland shows gain over last
year.
Average daily bank exchanges for the
year to date and for the same period Of
the previous two years are given by r.
