Bank C|earings Hold
Well Above 1889
In Two Weeks
Difference in Holiday
Disturbs Comparisons
For Single Week
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Bank clear
ings comparisons with a year ago,
both this week and last, were un-
duly affected by the Memorial Day
holiday falling in different weeks
Thus total clearings for the latest
week went sharply under those for
the same 1899 week, whereas the
aggregate for the previous week
showed a marked increase over the
similar 1889 period. A truer picture
is presented by comparing the COM
bined clearings for the past two
weeks with the total for the cor
responding tWo-Week period of last
year, which furnishes a rise of a.
per cent.
Bank clearings for % leading
cities in the five-day week ended
June S, totaled $4,753, ,874,O00, &C
cording to Dun & Bradstreet. This
was decrease of 1853 per cent under
the S5,7l7,127 900 for the correspond
ing six-day period of last year.
For the abbreviated week just
ended, clearings were $963, STA 900
less than the amount for the pre-
ceding full week In 1899 the Sit
uation was reversed and an in
crease of 81 ,402 ,l79 900 was disclosed
for the same two weeks.
New York clearings shrank to ST.
752 1893 600, a drop of 229 per cent
from the $3.50, ,489 900 recorded last
year. The turnover for the out
side cities at S2,00O,88l 900 con-
trasted with s2,l46 638 900 a year
ago, or decline of 6.8 per cent.
Although the aggregate for the
outside centers fell below that for
last year, many industrial centers
recorded increases over a year ago
Among these were Pittsburgh, Cleve-
land. Baltimore, Atlanta, Detroit. st.

Turns 10 Gunpowder
And Munitions
s15,000,000 Tennessee
Plant to Be Operated
By Du Pont
BY PAUL ID. GESNER,

NEW YORK, June 6.-American
industry in a world at war was seen
entering new phase this week as
efforts were turned toward expan-
sion of facilities for the production
of gunpowder and munitions under
the driving power of Allied capital.
Work was started at Memphis on
a $4,000 900 plant for a new concern
called the Tennessee Powder Co.
Announced by the British and
French Purchasing Commission
here, the plant will be built and
operated by E. I. du Pont de Ne
mours & Co, but Du Pont will have
no financial interest in stock of the
concern. 1t will turn out around
50,000000 pounds of canned smoke
less powder annually, employ around
5000 men. and be in production be-
fore the end of the current year
Tennessee Powder is the first big
new concern born in essence directly
out of Allied capital.
Loans to Be Available.
With the National Defense Com
mission in Washington taking shape,
financial observers say it will not
be long before some Government
agency such as the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, will be opening up
window at which industrial cor
porations may apply for loans for
expansion of plant to make the de-
fense supplies bigger Army and
Navy will need
Thus. American industry m the
coming new direct Government aid
phase is likely to sharply increase
capacity in the next year or so.
Already close to IS 1000 100000 of
expenditures for widened home de-
fense are being planned, and to
many observers such an aggregate
is seen only as the beginning of real
spending to come. Lewis H. Brown,
president Of Johns Manville Corp,
thinks the country needs a flve-year
defense program. with total out
lay of ,oOo,OOO,OOO to s3O,o0O,-
100000.
Earnings Mean Little.
Never before in the memory of
active Wall Streeters have earnings
reports meant so little in brokerage
boardrooms. A year ago at this time
analysts were turning out estimates
Of profits Of individual companies
for the first half of 1899, and in
vestors pored over statistical re-
ports and brokerage house letters
for hints as to which companies
were favored to make better show
lngs. Today, however, earnings re-
ports create scant interest, even
though industrial activity is rising
and output in such leading lines as
steel is climbing sharply.
Only one thing interests Wall
Streeters-the war. With German
forces whipping new drive toward
Paris yesterday. rising earnings ra-
tios failed to attract street support.
Shares slumped to the lowest levels
IN two years or longer. Grains, cot
ton and many other leading COM
modities sold at the lowest levels
since the start of the war last Sep
tember.
The European thunderclaps have
been so sharp and frequent and
their overtones so devastating in
Wall Street that traders rub their
eyes with amazement when thev
scan prices. It's hard for many to
realize that In four weeks around
one-fourth has been washed from
going values of shares listed in the
New York Stock Exchange. :
