September d. C. CIearings Gain.
The Washington Clearing House As
sociations report on bank clearings in
September reveals gain over August,
indicating that business made progress
In the Midfall period
September clearings totaled $50 9,894,-
o30.59, against $68,830, $3.50 in August,
an improvement Of 1063, ,410.99. Local
clearings were far below September of
last year, however, when they totaled
s93291, ,46962
Total clearings for the first nine
months of the present year are also now
available, reaching the sum of $734247,-
885.29. in comparison with total of
1888, ,456, ,444.79 in the first nine months
Of 1881
The most important fact indicated by
the September clearings is that the
usual seasonal pickup in business ar
rived on time Business may even be
better than the figures indicate, as the
two-cent Government tax on bank
checks has caused marked drop in the
number being drawn by depositors, a
great many bills now being paid
with cash. Just as the vast amount of
freight being hauled by trucks has mar
red the value of car loadings reports, SO
has the two-cent check tax put crimp
in bank clearings as the best known
business barometer.
Comparisons of Washington bank
clearings by months with the same peri
DDS year ago are highly informative. |
