BANK CLEARINGS.

Like some other statistical eN-
hibits. tine returns of bank clearinGs
in the United States continued to
reflect the diminished business aC-
tivity and the yielding of commodity
prices. At twenty of the Country's S
leading centers last weeks clearinEs
aggregated S7.674,9S1 1898. which is
1l.6 per cent less than the $S,679,-
251.41S Of the corresponding period
of last year. The decline is largely
due 10 the falling off at New York
City, Whcrc the weeks total of S4,-
47O,3SS,135 is 16.2 below that of the
same week of 1919, while the s3,204,-
593,75S recorded outside the metrop-
oils discloses a loss of Al per cent
from the s3.342, 9.20S of last year.
Among the cities showing decreases
are included Boston, Philadelphia,
Atlanta, St. Louis, and Seattle, but
it is to be remembered, in consider
ing the statement, that the clearings
of 1919 were unprecedented in many
instances. In every case. the pres
ent figures reveal increases over
those of the corresponding period OF
1918.
Average daily bank clearings for
the year to date are compared be-
low for three years:

Majority Of Ellis Island Arrivals
Drawn to Industrial Centers
by Higher Wages.

New York.-The stream Of immigra
ton flowing through Ellis island has
been noticeably detected from New
York city to inland centers during the
last twelve months, and officials give
this as one explanation for the fact
that the citys 1920 census was only
5,621 ,121 instead of the 100000 ex-
pected.
Official statistics regarding the desti-
nation of arriving aliens are sent to
Washington to be tabulated and digest
ed. For this reason destination figures
for the last twelve months were not
available. One who most closely
watches alien arrivals is ]. f. Rowe,
official money changer. He Is quick
to notice any unusual movement in the
flow of immigration.

Mr.. Rowe asserted that money ex-
changed for immigrants whose destina-
ton is New York city does not amount
to per cent of the amount exchanged
for those giving other parts as their
destination.

immigrants poured into New York
city by the hundreds of thousands
They are now going to manufacturing
centers such as Pittsburgh, Detroit
and Akron, Ohio, or to the coal and
iron mining regions.
"For the most part those arriving
here now were in America before the
war, and are acquainted with the coun-
try and attracted to sections where the
best wages are paid. Before the war
majority of the arrivals had only
hazy ideas as to where they were GO
ing or what wages they were to re-
ceive.
Another interesting fact is the
change of location of some of the
races. Not so many years ago most
Of the Irish arrivals flowed into Mas
sachusetts or scattered along the North
Atlantic seaboard. Now they are going
into Oregon. 1t is noticeable. too, that
more aliens are going to California
than ever before"
In January 24,9OO aliens arrived
here; February. $4,000; March, 10000;
April. $4,000; May. 10000, and in June
up to and including the 10th, 31.OOO
Superintendent Baker Of Ellis island
said this immigration was made up
mostly Of women. children and return
ing reservists. These latter are most
ly Italians. and the figures for this
month will show that most of those
who left America to fight for Italy
have returned.
The fact that no great number Of
male aliens is arriving here does not
mean lack Of desire to come to Amer
lea, the immigration officials say. Rath-
er it means that European govern
ments are not willing to further de-
plete the male adult population by al
lowing 1t to emigrate. The intending
emigrant is finding It difficult to get
passports under the new immigration
laws. Also ship accommodations are
harder to obtain.
Before the war from four to five
thousand aliens arrived at this port
each day, or about 100000 a month.
Notwithstanding the falling off in az
rivals, however, Superintendent Baker
said the work probably increased. This
is because of the changes in the law.
Not only do arriving aliens have to
pass examinations as to moral and
physical fitness, but they must pass
