Gains In Michigan. Little Difference for Flint Quarter of 1008 and 1907. For the first three months of this year the bank clearances are just about keeping pace with the high rec ord set last year, which was a gain of 40 per cent over 1906. While most cities In the country are falling far behind last year's record in all kinds of business, Spokane merchants report a good Increase, and the bank clear ances Indicate that the city is holding its own. The total of the clearings for the first quarter last year was f 04,445, 111. This year the total of the first quarter Is $84,004,341. The loss is a tittle more than one-half of 1 per cent. To show how closely the clearances this year are keeping to those of laBt, February gave a slight gain, but It wb so small that had there been only 28 days as there, were last year, liie'.e would have been a slight loss. Janu ary clearings were also slightly above thosie of the same month In 1907, but March showed a little decrease, which offset the gain of the other two months. Spokesman-Review. FEW IX JAIL.
