Leavitt & Johnson National Bank notes widespread complacency about two years of business. It cites a tight money market, higher transactions, and a shrinking future outlook due to new administration, tariffs, taxes, currency changes, and anticipated anti trust actions. October bank clearings fell to 15,696 million from 17,146 million last year with 1,344 business failures, and ten month totals show 141 billion versus 143 billion.
