bank suspensions.
Correspondence of the Herald
WASHINGTON, May 18th, 1887.
The whole city is in state Of alarm and confusion
The Experiment" is beginning to operate at home
and the people here have become terrified by the ap-
pearance of things. This morning the Patriotic Bank
of Washington and the Union Bank of Georgetown
have suspended specie payments the former till it
learns what the banks of Baltimore intend to do and
the latter permanently. This is the second ms lance
of suspension of the Patriotic Bank and its credit will
of course be Frustrated. A heavy rum has been made
on the Bank of the Metropolis today and one on the
Bank Of Washington, bat 10 no great amount The
Secretary of the Treasury in order to sustain the for
mer, being depository the Government, has given
il draft or the Mint at Philadelphia for $500 900,
and in has become responsible himself to the
amount of $4,000 to an individual of this city, who
made this bank demand for specie to that amount
The alarm is nevertheless great that the banking
house and street in front of it, are crowded with ap
plicants for specie. Both the Bank of the Metrop Ills
and the Bank of Washington think they can sustain
themselves and have issued printed notices declaring
their liability to fulfil the engagements and liabilities
of the banks, having assets TO nearly double the
amount Of their liabilities" and have therefore deter
mined TO continue specie payments. The President,
Directors and Cashier Of the Bank of Washington
have moreover, pledged individually and collectively
their private fortunes for all just claims against the
institution" This declaration has restored confidence
to that bank, but the dstrus, and suspicion in re-
gard to the other still continue and the rush is unaba-
ted. Ipresume it will be able to sustain ITSELF aided
as it is by the Government unless general suspen-
sion throughout the country becomes necessary We
are in an awful condition The notes Of he Virginia
Banks of the best standing will scarcely be taken al
ALL and when they are received, those Of the De-
posite Banks, they are at from TO 10 per cent dis
count. Groups of citizens are seen at almost every
shopdeor, steningt accounts Of failures and await
the fate Of our city banks.
