SEATTLE, April Is Especially The
mounting totals of bank deposits,
bank clearings. building permits and
exports from Seattle and other Puget
Sound ports are rejecting a general
advance in business and industry in
this section of the Pacific northwest.
Clearings for last week in the north
western cities closely approached
those of the 1920 postwar boom
period. In Seattle they were four
times as high as those for the cor
responding period of 1915 and more
than double those for the spring of
1917, at which time shipbuilding ac-
tivities were approaching their peak.
Department stores and retail mer-
