an unusual expansion OF business at

pended. Considerable benefit, however,
accrued from the snowfall and lower
temperatures. additional stimulus being
Impaired to the distribution Of heavy
weight apparel. footwear and fuel.

n this season there Is no general lull
apparent In the commercial world. De-
cem6er. with its preparations for inven-
torying, IL ordinarily q month Of dimin-
ishins activity except for the holiday

tendency Is steadily toward expansion
rather than contraction. This fact 10
made clear not only by the tenor Of ad-
vices from all leading centres but also
by the statistics OF bank exchanges.
which measure business volumes. Thus
clearinss at the principal cities this week
were $40 per cent. in excess Of last
years and 3s.6 per cent. larger than In
1913. while payments outside OF New
