Accordingly, in the above the last day of the' \yeek in all cases has to be estimated. In the elaborate detailed statement, however,,which we present further below we are able to give the final and complete results-for the week previous—the week ended Jan. 1. For that week there was. an>Jjncrease of 5.1%, the aggregate of clearings for the whole country having amounted, to $9,487,284,091, against $9,024,338,050 in the same week in 1942. Outside of this city there was an increase of 1.0%, the bank clearings at this center"having recorded an increase of 8.8%. 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 a gain of 9.1% and in the Philadelphia Reserve District of 5.5% but in the Boston Reserve District the totals show a loss of 8.7%. In the Cleveland Reserve District the totals are larger by 4.1% but in the Richmond Reserve District the totals are smaller by 7.9% and in the Atlanta Reserve District by 4.0%. The Chicago Reserve District has to its credit an improvement of 5'.4%7"!n the Sti'LouiS" Reserve [ 5,425,000 6.8 2,758,943 145,226.317 30,679,709 —.
