CLEARINGS
Ccontanusd Prom Firs, Para,

There is no comparison with last year.
there having been one more banking
day in December OF 1915 than in the
same month of the preceding year.
Clearings for the entire year 1915
are SlO7. l62, $50 %. For the year 1914
the Wheeling clearings were s1Os.95I.-
S2o.13. This is a decrease for the wear
now ended OF s1.7S9. 2547s. On the
face this would not be n favorable
showing OF the Wheeling financial Sit
uation. but as matter Of fact the
comparison IS deceptive. The falling
on in clearings was in the first eight
months Of 1915. Commencing with
September and continuing 10 the close
OF 1918 thore were very large increases
IN the clearings. so that as matter
or fact the years comparison does not

In wheeling business Clearings for
october, November and December. for
instance, were each over ten millions
and IN each Instance greater than for
any month In the year 1914. With this
explanation Il will be seen that the
situation at the opening Of 1916 Is bet.
ter than at any time for years past
