LOCAL FINANCIAL
And BUSINESS
GOSSIP

Assuming clearing house receipts
to be a fair barometer of the trend OF
business in Washington, indications
are that the final figures for 1919 will
show that year to be the greatest
business year in the history of the
National Capital. Taken month for
month. the bank clearings for the
present year have outstripped by far
those OF corresponding months Of
1913.
During the month of November the
total clearings amounted to $71,129,-
0S9.S1. Although this figure was a
little less than $3,O00,000 below the
clearings for the month of october.
the number of business days during
the past month were less by three
than during the month of October. on
account OF the holiday, the shorter
month. and the f1ve Sundays. View
ing the clearings of November in the
light of the number of banking days.
1t is evident that the total clearings
for that month compare favorably
with those of October
The clearings for the past week
fell below those Of any week of the
past month, and a certain amount of
the decrease may readily be attrt-
buted to the Thanksgiving Day
holiday.
A report of the Federal Reserve
Board issued today points to the fact
that business throughout the country
was on the increase during Novem-
ber, despite all factors which might
have been expected to have. operated
to the contrary.
In discussing the increased specu-
lation during the past month. the
Federal Reserve Bulletin states:
"The deterrent effect upon specula-
tion of high call loan rates has been
somewhat Offset by the action Of out
side banks in increasing their loans
on call in the New York market,
thereby to a certain extent counter
balancing the results obtained by local
contraction.
"At time when high call loan
rates in the money centers coincide
with the existence of surplus funds
in sections where crops have been
harvested and local demands are
smaller. the transfer of funds to
money centers may not only be Sc
rious hindrance to the effective curb
ing of speculation, but may go for
ward at a time when other districts
are in need of funds for agricultural
or commercial purposes"
