For that week there was an increase of 14.7%, the aggregate of clearings for the whole country having amounted to $8,424,692,564, against $7,342,902,797 in the same week in 1942. Outside of this city there was an increase of 12.8%, the bank clearings at this centre having recorded a gain of 16.7%. We group the cities according to the Federal Reserve Districts in which they are located and from this it appears that in the New York District (including this city) the totals show an improvement of 16.4%, in the Boston Reserve District of 5.1%, and in the Philadel¬ phia Reserve District of 12.7%. In the Cleveland Reserve District the totals are larger by 1.4%, in the Richmond Reserve District by 10.5% and in the Atlanta Re¬ serve District by 29.2%. In the Chicago Reserve District the totals register an expansion of 10.2%, in the St. Louis Reserve District of 14.2% and in the Minne¬ apolis Reserve District of 34.6%. In the Kansas City Reserve District the in¬ crease is 22.6%, in the Dallas Reserve District 16.2%, and in the San Francisco District + 17.8 Michigan—Ann Arbor..

The Commission held that United contributed nothing to the normal function of the system companies and is therefore economically un¬ necessary to their operations. For the unnecessary corporate existence of United and the complexities resulting therefrom the stockholders of United have paid a price, the Commission said.

Abandonment of United's present business as a public utility hold¬ ing company and embarking upon a new type of business, whether that of an investment company or any other type of business, involves a drastic change in the activities of the company, the Commission said.
