The figures represent the percentage of increase in the bank exchanges for the month of September, 1916, compared wit! the corresponding month of 1915. The basic tables were compiled by Dun’s Review and published in Saturday's issue of that periodical. According to returns from 131 lead- ing cities of the United States, there is a national increase of 47.4 per cent over the bank clearings of September a year ago. In money shis expansion represents $22,573,373,513. The bank payments of the recent September show the enormous growth of 68.8 per cent when contrasted with the corresponding period of 1913. Of course, these figures include New York, which itself shows a gain of 925 over 1913 and 55 per cent over 1915. Excluding the big metrbpolis, the country’s clearings grew 35.7 per cent over last year and 38.8 per cent over 1913. Omaha’s growth for the three years is represented by the very complimentary percentage of 59.5, thus gaining the nice lead of 21.2 per cent over the composite national ex- pansion for the same time (barring New York City). Omaha beats even Kansas City in its percentage of increase. Kansas City clearings for the last month were $41,000,000, a_lead of 31.09 per cent over September, 1915, but still a little more than 3 per cent behind Omaha’s percentage growth. Omaha’s clear- ings for the recent month were $113,- 995,009 and for the corresponding month of 1915 were $84,391,001.

The Twin City showed-$124,195,477 this year and $109,169,945 in 1915. Omaha was $24,- 778,934 behind Minneapolis last year and now is only $10,200,468 behind. This city, therefore, seems to have the pole as it rounds into the home stretch toward the goal of commercial supremacy. Other Comparisons. Lincoln’s clearings are less than one-ninth of Omaha’s and last year Lincoln was on the better side of a nine-to-one ratio, Denver shows a trifle more than one-half of the clear- ings here and so, also, does St. Paul. Denver, however, can boast of the handsome gain of 57.2 per cent in one year. It is such increases in the smaller cities which boosts the per- centage growth of twenty-one west- ern municipalities to 28.5 per cent as a_general average. Omaha, with its 350 gain, is, therefore 6.5 per cent more prosperous than its neighbors. How some of the large cities have prospered is indicated by the follow- BURGESS-NASH COMPANY, 2 ® *EVERYBODY'S STORE" , E DOWNSTAIRS STORE NEWS FOR MONDAY.
