During the week Just closed the bank clearings of Augusta exceeded by nearly a millton and a quarter of dollars the clearings of the same week last year. It will be recalled that one day last week the figures came near the $900,000 mark and Satur . day's clearings of $710,425.42 did much to help the past week become a marked period in the commercial his tory of this city. The clearings of the past week were $3,607,754.73, and for the same week ; last year the record only shows $2,- 438,479.34. The clearings of October 16 a year ago were only $377,629.99. The great increase in the clearings Is due almost entirely to the higher price obtained for cotton, which results in j the farmers bringing the staple into Augusta as fast as it is ginned, and ! thus the receipts show a great in crease over those of 1908.
