Reflect Busy
Three Months

sion in general business ac-
tivity, Washington bank debts
in the first quarter Of this
year rose to $5.732, 760. 900, a
jump of 24.3 per cent from the
same 1858 period and 58.4 per
cent ahead of five years ago.
This was disclosed today by
the monthly report from the
Federal Reserve Board. The
three months total compared
with $4,327,593,OO0 a year
earlier and 87.948.000 in
the same 1854 period.

contrasted with the trend in
bank clearings which have been
curtailed by mergers which
made fewer check. exchanges
