crease in bank clearings as reported
by the Federal Reserve Board. To-
gether, these two barometers seem to
furnish proof that the volume of gen
eral business is between 10 and 10
percent greater now than year ago.
Official observers at Washington
studying the postal receipts trace a
steady Improvement in business con-
ditions since March. In that month
receipts showed an increase Of 6.7
percent over the corresponding month
OF 1921. In April the increa Sc was 7,3
percent. May brought an increase of
l4.4 percent and June 1872 percent.
That improvement in business con-
ditions is not taking place as speedily
as in other periods is indicated by a
study Of July ostal receipts for four
teen years. Receipts of July. 1918,
showed an increase of 335 percent in
comparison with the same month of
1917. In July, 1920. an increase of L
percent was reported.
