CLEARING-HOUSE TO ACT
Figures Produced to Demonstrate
That Proposed Plan Is More Ac
curate and Adoption In Port
land Will Be Advocated.
Portland is being- urged to begin the
practice of reporting- each week its
total volume of bank transactions as
well as total clearings to the clearing-house
section of the American
Bankers' Association for publication in
the press reports sent out through the
United States. The suggestion to do so
has come through W. D. Vincent, vice
president of the Old National Bank, of
Spokane, and O. Howard Wolfe, cash
ier of the Philadelphia National Bank,
who are respectively vice-president and
former secretary of the section. R.
Lea Barnes, vice-president of the
United States National Bank, and
president of the Portland Clearing-
also urged. In the case of Portland,
that only by a reDort of the, total t ru nn-
actions of its business for 1916, due to
the consolidation of the First and Se
curity National Banks and the pur
chases by the Northwestern National
Bank of the Merchants National will
the true condition of its business prog
ress be indicated.
Little Time Required.
It is declared that the plan, if adopted
by the Portland banks, will require but
10 minutes additional time in the week
for each bank to make this report.
There will be a little additional work
for the manager of the clearing-house
in compiling the report each week for
the banks and for the news agency, by
Mr. Vincent, but it Is declared that this
additional burden will be almost neg
ligible as compared with the good ac
complished. ,
"There is everything in favor of
Portland acting on this suggestion, so
far as I can see." said R. Lea Barnes,
president of the Portland Clearing
House Association, "and I shall bring
the matter up before the next meeting
of the clearing-house and recommend
its adoption."

Encouragement of thrift among

influence was in this connection, the

Why state banks are unable to af

ji tne ciearing-nouse and urge its
saopuou.
Tho additional data is ukl .
cause it is generally agreed that the
total transactions of the banks are
much more reliable and comprehensive
as a barometer of business conditions
of a community. Clearings, it has
"can demonstrated. represent only
about 40 per cent of the total business
done by the banks of the country;
.iisvl j.v per cent or tne Duslness deal
ings of a city are generally in cash,
and that the remaining B0 ner nt
represent the transactions which are of
"con on tne Dooks of the different
banks, but which never become a part
of the volume of clearings.
Plan Becoming; General.
Thirty of the principal cities of the
country for the past two years have
been making such reports through
their clearing-houses and they have
been published, week by week, in Brad
etreet's Journal. Included in this list
is Spokane, Seattle, Los Angeles and
San Francisco, four cities of the Pa
clflo Coast territory. All these cities
agree that total bank transactions are
an index of the actual business done
and a more sensitive barometer of ex
panding business than could be ob
tained in any other way.
Total bank transactions, it is shown,
are obtained by adding together all of
the charges made during the week
against the deposits of the bank. Clear
ings, on the other hand, are the to
tals of the checks that are exchanged
between the banks. The transactions
will Include the clearings, but the
clearings will only represent a part of
the transactions. All of the dealings
between the customers of the same
panic, tne Items of patrons, all checks
which are paid directly at the teller's
window and all remittances from one
bank to its corresponding bank are not
made a part of the clearings records.
It is further shown that the operations
of the Federal reserve banks, through
their systems of clearing checks and
dealing direct with member banks, will
further reduce quite seriously the ap
parent returns of the total business
of a given community through -its
clearing returns.
f.'earloifi Not luifornt.
It is also shown by those who
liave become interested in having total
transactions reported, that there is
lack of uniformity in the reports of
managers of the clearing-houses as to
what transactions should pass through
the clearing-house. It has frequently
been the practice, much more so in
bygone days than now, it is said, to
"pad" the clearings by exchanging
checks between banks, by passing
through the clearing-house the checks
drawn to pay clearing-house balances,
and which represent no commercial
transactions whatever. Many a city
it is said, has charged its rival with
"padding" the clearings statements,
the real facts being evident when the
reports have been heavier than the
ul tne community seemed to
Justify.
The following comparison of total
bank transactions and clearings of the
four Pacific Coast cities referred to,
for. the 10 weeks from August 5 to
October 8, both inclusive, will show
the immense volume of actual business
dealings which go unrecorded when
reports of clearings only are given
to procure what information h mum
concerning savings banks in schools of
uuiieu estates.
As a result of the compilation he
found that 1925 schools had instituted
savings banks, that 398,540 pupils car
ried accounts out of a total member
ship of 928,784 pupils, that the amount
deposit was i,79Z,640. An item in
the report of especial interest to the
banks was the fact that 104.995 of the
pupils who had started savings ac
counts had saved sufficient to justify
them in transferring their accounts to
me regular Danks.
Portland was the only city in Ore
gon represented in the compilation. At
the time the report was made it had
six schools with savings bank plans,
831 depositors out of a membership of
3507, and total deposits of $1628.60. Two
cities only in Washington were repre
sented. Spokane has 34 schools, with
a membership of 25.000 duii wbn
carry 3481 accounts and total deposits
of $73,648. T,he other place is Pres
cott, with one school of 202 pupils 32
depositors and total savings of 1 12.48.

The foregoing shows that only 34 per
cent of the bank transactions are re
corded in the case of Spokane, 42 per
cent in Seattle, 49 per cent In San Fran
cisco and 58 per cent in Los Angeles.
The aggregate total of unrecorded bank
transactions for these four cities in
only 10 weeks exceeds $908,000,000, or
62 per cent of the total. t
Weekly Figures Given.
The relation between clearings and
total bank transactions of these cities
is seen in another table which gives
in thousands of dollars the total
transactions and the total clearings
tide by side for each week for the same
10 weeks, as above, together with the
rate of increase or decrease from the
corresponding period of 1914.
In the case of Seattle it is shown that
there is a decrease in clearings when
the bank transactions record an in
crease for the week and that sometimes
there is more of a decrease in transac
tions than is shown in the clearings. In
the case of Spokane the same differ
ences are shown in a more exaggerated
form, and the discrepancies are more
marked In the cases of the two other
cities given.
Spokane reports that for the year
1914 its clearings showed a loss of 10
per cent, while its total of bank trans
actions showed an actual gain. It is
