At the same time there was a pronounced expansion of general business, as shown by the gain of 78.5 per cent in the country’s bank | clearings, and the vast volume of the clearings themselves, which ran | up to the record-breaking aggregate pf $3,513,886,000.

Tall ings are going up on all sides downtown and are being filled with tenants as fast as completed. New buildings are springing up in the residence districts in bewildering numbers. No complaints of any consequence are being heard from the mer- chants, and the recent lull in trade, to which attention was called several weeks ago, seems to have passed away and to have been merely a transitory breathing spell. We can safely look forward to t t hearing in mind, of course, that trade, like physical health, is never completely immune from sudden and unexpected maladies.
