Banfinrg Business Up

The Domlnfon Bureau of statu- tlcs reports an increase of 27.6 per cent, 1x1 bank debits for September over the figure for the correspond- ing month last year. This report covers the 33 Canadian cltles for which bank clearings‘ used to be published each month. Bank debits tire now being substituted for clear- ances, because, being based on the actual totals of cheques drawn, they really give a true picture of the volume of banking business transacted. .

Cheques cashed in September

1493 had a face total value of 3441853001100, us compared wlth $3,5l6,0C(1,CC0 1n Siptember 1942. The Prairies at 53.4 per cent show- ecl the greatest. Gain and the Marl- tlmes at 9 per cent the least. Que- bec was up l7 per cent, Ontario 2'7. and British Columbia 29. , Cheques cashed during the first nlne months of this yeafy-January to Scptember, both lncluslve, - uggregated 38,379,000,000, as azfllnst $32,292,000,C(0 ln the corresponding perl0d of 194.2. The betterment 1s over 4 bllllon dollars. representing an 18.8 per cent increase. If. l; interesting to compare these totals with the pre-war record. During the first nlne months of l939-1ncludlng only one month of war-bank debits 1n the same cen- adfan centres aslrelzated $22,731.- O00,000 Impressed 1n totals. the first three quarters nl this year are about 15 l-2 billion dollars above the corresponding months of 1939, while the ratio of 511111 1s nearly 60 per cent. This remark‘ able advance, the Bureau points out. "a measure of transforma- tion of the Canadian economy dur- 1118 the war period." It ls also worth noting that the chartered banks of the Dominion, on this showing, have attained a business turnover which is 169 per cent of the value of that of 1939.
