Show BiiNESJiROlipi The Eelative Position of Salt Lake as Compared With the Sisterhood of Great Oitiif. THE YEAE BEPRESENTS $84,030,030 A Remarkable Showing for the Leading City of the Inter-mountain Country figurm That Tell. The Salt Lake City clearing house was established April 1st, 1HH0. At that time there were nine banks in the city, and eight of them uuited in forming form-ing the clearing house association. The bank that remained outside is one of the largest savings banks west of the Missouri river, but it is primarily a savings sav-ings institution and its commercial business bus-iness forms a comparatively small part of its total business, consequently tho fact that it is not iucluded makes less difference in the clearings of the city than if a bank having the same total deposits but doing chielly a commercial biiiinepg was not a member of the association. asso-ciation. Within the past year four new banks have been established in the city and one of them ha joined tho association, associa-tion, making tho present number nine, leaving four banks, including the savings sav-ings bank above referred to, still outside out-side the clearing house. Hearing house returns are valuable val-uable and interesting not oulv because they are good means of gauging business in general, but also because they make it possible to compare com-pare the amount of business done by different cities of the same class. With the close of the local clearing home's tirst year it is possible to present the record of a full year's business, and to note the relative position of Salt Lake City. Taking the total annual clearings for a basis, the citios of the L'nited States, where clearing houses have existed for the past year or longer, may bo divided into four classes: (I) Ten cities each having annual clearings of more than MOD, 000,001); (2) six cities having clearings clear-ings of less than $,"(00,00(1.000 and more than $;IOO.OIH),000; (8) fourteen cities each having clearings of less than than Mini. 000, 090 and more than t00.-000,000; t00.-000,000; and (4) twenty-seven cities having hav-ing clearings of less than 100,()00,000 each, lielow is given a tabulated statement state-ment of clearings of fifty-seven cities for the year end.ng March 1,101, show-iug show-iug also the number of banks in each clearing house according to the latest obtainable report, and the population of each city by the census of l.H"0: C,tls. g -..ijt 5 $ 1 r "k Pa New York HI f: 9 UIT. 1W Ol''! t.519.5W Huston va ,-,,ip,ia ii.ii o-4' -mao; i hicauo 1-i 4.4iM,'i;,Mil I.IMJ.I 3 Philadelphia... !

The large cilies of the east aro responsible for most of the decrease, but still a few cities in that region show an increase. Chicago shows" by far tho largest increase in-crease of any city, but most of the cities showing an increase are situated on or west of the Mississippi river, though there are a few cities in that vast territory terri-tory that show a decrease. Perhaps in no way can the standing of Salt Lake City and its importance as a business center he better shown than by comparing com-paring its clearings with those of cities where there is some similarity of situation situa-tion and conditions, lielow is given a statement of the clearings in cities situated situ-ated on or west of the Mississippi river for the lirst three months of this year, aud also for a like period last year in every case where a clearing huiiso was then in existence: CWIes. g' g ! l.ouis i3 iiftvJSS.Siri l Sll.r'.Ci.771 ; Sui Kr.meig.-o.. mi siu.3ie.uit - iHi.rw.M ..evv ( rleahn ..
