Little Business doing-Distr"st of Banks oc-
neutrality-suspicious. Of the Fulton ank
President and Directors OF the franklin
ank arrested and indicted.
BosTeN, Feb IA, 1885,
DEAR Sin There is little or no business delng in
the city. Owing to the want of confidence, mercan-
tile affairs seem to have paused IN their operations
about our banks but the explosions by some of
our monied men considered as ended, while many of
equal shrewdness of different opinion. The as
founding facts touching the nodus operdndi of the
Franklin, Lafayette and Commonwealth Banks have
thrown over other banking nstituionsa suspicion and
dlstrus which is any thing but favorable The Asso-
claed Banks asked and received of the Fulton Bank
security for the enormous amount OF bills they had
in circulation. The Bank gave the sine qua non as
desired and it is said, redeemed the of bills
as they had engaged. After that had been done it
ascertained with great SURPRISE that the paper Of
the Fulton was quite as plenty as before; and this,
believe is the reason why the other banks dc not re-
ceve the bills Of the Fulton Bank which is you are
aware, the last that closed its doors.
1t is strange how soon we become accustomed to
troubles and disasters, which are on their first debut
very exciting and appalling. When the Banks first
commenced their DOWNFALL all was astonishment
and dsmay; but now all is indifference and apathy,
when compared with the high state Of excitement
which did prevail II will yet be long time before
confidence will be restored in our Boston Banks by
our ewn citizens; and never will that reliance once
put in them be fully reinstated You must be on
your guard against the bills emanang from the cIty
ofbroken banks, there will be more failures among
them.
About ten or a dozen days since, the American Me-
odis as he is sometimes termed, e. W. Dixon) pre-.
ted the Grand Jury the President and Directors
ofthe Franklin Bank, worthy ofther special notice
The Investigating Committee of the Legislature was
summoned and their evidence given. The result is,
the President and four five Of the Directors have
been indicted. They were arrested this afternoon
and gave bonds for their appearance at the time ap-
pointed for their triat Hsshosas who the Cash
Ter of the Franklin Bank, took French leave some
weeks ago, in company with some bank assistants
who had helped themselves too freely to the funds
