BANK CLEARINGS.

with the slowing down of gen.

commodity prices, bank clearings
are in smaller volume at some i'm
portant centers, and last weeks ag-
gregate of s7.445,739,572 at twenty
one leading cities in the United
States, represents a falling off of
80 per cent from the s7.747,405,155
of the corresponding week of 1919.
Comparison with the total of this
week in 1918. however. discloses an
increase of 1913 per cent. At New
York City. Notwithstanding consid-
erabIe activity in speculative mar
kets, the weeks clearings of s4,-
533,523,699 are 7.5 per cent less than
last years, although showing
gain of 1916 per cent over the fig
ures of this period in 1918. For the
outside the metropolis, the
aggregate of s2,912.215,s73 reported
last week is 2.3 per cent above last
years total. and 25.6 per cent in
excess of the clearings of the cor

included 1869 bales at Dallas, 5000
bales at Fort Worth, 3.l69 bales at
Houston and 1.173 bales at Calves

the demand was soon filled up. with

Late in the day the market moved

points of the low levels which
usually occur during periods of

the exercise of conservatism in the

quarters as rejecting a belief that
