UNUSUAL ACTIVITY
First National Bank Statement
Declares September Will See
Resumption of Normal Con-
ditionS in All Lines.

The tide Of business has passed the
low ebb and in a number Of lines
unusual activity is in evidence, ac-
cording 20 the monthly financial re-
port OF First National bank. 1t is
not likely that business totals for
1914 viii equal those Of 1913 nor was
this TO be expected but there are
many indications OF an early fall i'm
provement which Will extend 10 nearly
all lines The reports say that by Sep
TENDER business viii again be moving
along at It's regular rate.
Lack Of developments in the Mex
lean situation has been one Of the
causes Of keeping things at a stand
still for the past Month. says the re-
port. The nations Of the world are
watching the mediation conference at
Niagara Falls with great interest be-
cause either an old American policy
IS 10 be well established or a new

the deliberations Of these peace en-
vOys.
The report continues:
Bank clearings for April tOtaled ! 3
billion collars, a gain of more than
per cent over the corresponding
month of last year. 1t must be re-
membered that because Of disastrous
floods a year ago, business totals were
reduced and clearines, therefore, re-
Stricted. For the current year to
date. clearings are practically the
same as last year and somewhat more
than I per cent above two years ago.
The gain in clearings i'm New York

all Of which came from mercantile
transactions there being no real
stock exchange activity during the
month.
The total number OF idle cars on
