BANKCLEARINGS lNCREAg-E Dun’s Report for April Shows That a General Improvement is Noted in All Sections, MINNESOTA CITIES GAIN Bank exchanges during the month of April at all leading cities in the United States, according to the state- ment compiled by-R.-G. Dun and Co;, which includes returns from 127 cen- ters, aggregated -$14,979,344,219, an increase of 21.2 per cent, as compared with the same month last year and of 6.9 per cent, as compared with the corresponding month in 1910. This is by far the best exhibit made by any month so far this year, and be- ing shared in by practically -every section of the country clearly reflects a general !improvement to industrial and commercial operations that is es- pecially gratifying because weather conditiong: were not altogether favor- able for expansion in numerous lines. At New York city there is a gain of 26.7 per cent over last year and of 6.9 per cent over 1910; and while to some extent the increased figures are due to more active stock market transactions, a broadening volume of ordinary business undoubtedly con- tributes to the better showing. The total of outside cities shows an in- crease of 14.2 per cent and 8.4 per .|'cent respectively, over the two pre- ceding years, and while at some points losses still appear, they are not as a rule very pronounced and detract but little from the satisfactory ex- hibit of the whole. Reviving activity in the New Eng- land states is indicated by the good gains over both years appearing at many of the leading centers, among them Boston, Springfield, Worcester, Fall River, Holyoke, Portland, Hart- ford and New Haven. A number of cities in the Middle Atlantic states continue to report smaller exchanges than last year, but as a rule the de- creases are not so large as earlier in the year, and the gains as compared ‘| with either last year or 1910 at such important centers as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Reading, Binghamton, Trenton, Rochester and Buffalo indi- cate a8 marked trend toward improve- ment.

In the Central South there is some irregularity, 'mainly beesuse of floods and other adverse weather ~ conditions, but on the whole the returns are quite satis- he(m—y and the nh\l reported over Loul TEN CENTS PER WEEK COUNTY DELEGATES FAVOR ROOSEVELT La Follette Forces in Evidence But Taft Generally Considered Out of Running. NINTH DISTRICT PROGRESSIVE Fight Expected Over Instructions of Representatives to Meeting at Chicago. TO SELECT TWENTY-TWO Convention This Afternoon Is To Name Men For Minneapolis and Thief River. Delegates to the Beltrami county jconvention, which is being held in the court house this afternoon, ap- pear in the majority to be progres- sive, favoring both La Follette and Roosevelt with a slight leaning in the favor of the latter. The few Taft delegates appear to be badly outnum- bered and it is conceded that the delegates to be elected to Thief Riv- er Falls and to the state convention in Minneapolis will be progressive. Early reports from the Ninth dis- trict give Taft Red Lake county on- ly. La Follette is conceded to have Pennington, Norman, Kittson and Clearwater in his column, while Roosevelt has Roseau, Becker, Otter- tail, Clay, Beltrami and Marshall. As near as can be learned, Polk county In the Eighth district, Itasca coun- ty stands alone for Taft, La Follette is said to have carried Lake, while Tsanti amwi-Mille Lacs have declared anti-Roosevelt. St. Louis, Carlton, Koochiching, Kanabec, Pine and Aitkin counties are said to favor Roosevelt generally with a few La Follette votes interspersed. The three largest counties in the state, looked upon as Taft strongholds, have overwhelmingly gone for Roosevelt, while La Follette’s strength in the northwestern part of the state is sur- prising. Parties apparently in close touch with the sentiment of the Ninth dis- trict state that the fight at-the Thief River convention will be between the Roosevelt and La Follette forces and that Taft is out of the running. The district is progressive, the only question being whether it shall go for La Follette or Roosevelt. The county convention this after- noon will name eleven delegates to the state convention to be held May 16 and eleven to the county conven- tion to be held Wednesday at Thief River Falls. Nebraska Defeats Minnesota. Lincoln, Neb., May 13.—Nebraska triumphed over Minnesota in the an- nual dual field ineet held Saturday on Nebraska. field, the Cornhuskers scoring 66 points to 51 for the Goph- ers. The track was fast after a drenching rain, but a hurricane gale met the runners ahead in the stretch and made the time unfortunately slow. One Missouri Valley record was beaten, that honor falling to Linde- berg of Minnesota in the half-mile run. The Gopher crack outfooted McGowan, a strong half-miler, and breasted the tape an easy winner in Valley record. Nebraska excelled generally in the track events while the Gophers lug- ged off every place but one in the weights. The Cornhuskers captured all of the points in the two hurdle races, the high jump and the pole ‘vault, while the Gophers swept the platter in the shot put, discus throw and broad jump.- The lead see-sawed from the first event; the 100-yard dash, until the program lacked but { MINNESOTA i STORICAL is split between Roosevelt and Taft. 1:59 2-5, two seconds better than the
