Effective pitchers are at a premium
and the clubs that started with weak
pitchers will probably be compelled to
finish with the same bunch as the ma
jors are holding everything that can
throw a ball. The invasion of the
Federals has brought this about 90 the
big minors will be compelled to suffer
all season. Poor pitching has caused
the poor showing of the Kaws and
there does not appear to be any re-
lief unless those now in hand begin
to show better form. Practically every
recruit from the big leagues to the
minors, has failed to make good.

Bank Clearings.

An improving tendency in bank clear
ings at the principal cities in the United
States was indicated last week by the
most favorable comparison with the two
preceding years shown for some time
past, the total. according 10 "Dun's Re-
view," s2,S2S,312,211, being only 1.s per
cent smaller than the s2.SS1, 1855 Of
the same week last year.
New York City reports a decrease Of
3.S per cent as compared with 1913, but
this exhibit is a marked Improvement
over the showing made by several inn
mediateIy preceding weeks. and is prob
ably due TO ordinary commercial opera
tlons, as there has been no particular
activity in the financial or speculative
markets at that centre. The most salts
factory features of last weeks returns
are the notable improvement that APP
pears at Boston as compared with recent
weeks, and the fact that aside from
rather sharp contraction at one or two
points the losses are not at all signih-
cant. Average daily bank exchanges for
the year to date are given belor for
three years; ,,,. INTO
