New York Clearing House Figures Show Mixed 1900 Half-Year
New York clearings for the half year show a nearly 20 percent drop from the year’s first quarter due to fewer financial operations from new industrial undertakings. Outside New York, bank payments for the six months ending June 30 rose about 1.5 percent from 1899, with the West outperforming the East. New England and New York City register important losses. In Chicago grain and provisions trade remains active amid volatile crop outlooks, while private estimates challenge Government crop figures, suggesting higher potential production if weather improves, with some regions already hit by heat and drought but not irreparable.
