q panic occurred among the billholdes and depo-
sitors, causing quite run upon the bank. This
was soon quoted by the election Of Jacob Lorilard
large capitalist and stockholder, as President Of
the bank, he Offering to pledge his whole fortune to
redeem the bills of the bsuk. This affair was fol-
lowed BY run upon the Dry Dock Bank, and the
other city banks refusing TO sustain that nstitution,
il was shut mp by decree Of the Vice Chancellor
on the Sth Of May. This circumstance, with the
stoppage Of three banks in BufAlo, caused general
run on all the city banks; and on the 10th, the
banks, by common consent, stopped payment In
epccie. The example was followed by every bank
in the United States and in Canada. On the 10th
of May the Legislature Of New York, then in ses
sion, passed an act authorizing the suspension Of
specie payments BY the banks Of the State for one
year.
On the lst Of January, 1887, the New York city
banks, by their reports TO the bank commissioner
had aggregate capital paid in Of go 1861 400 and
surplus Of profits on hand Of S. 1858 ,226, or nearly
sixteen per cent. Consequently, their stock, pre-
vious 70 the suspension, was generally very high In
the market. The Mechanics Bank for long time
sold from l27 to 100, bnt immediately after the din
cultes in May, 1897 the stock fell TO 60. An exAmi-
nation Of the Affairs Of the bank, by the directors and
the bank commissioners, allowed that heavy losses
had been sustained by loans to brokers and Others
on stocks Of various institutions, which had either
greatly declined in value, or become worthless. 1t
is believed that the Mechanics Bank has never sus
tanned any heavy losses BY its legitimate business
Of dscounting the notes Of mechanics and mer.
chants. The same remark would, doubtless, apply
to most Of our city banks Their great Losses,
amounting in the aggregate to millions Of dollars,
have been oscasioned by loans on stocks 10 brok-
ers and spectators, whose defalcations the stock
holders Of banks have thus been called on TO make
up In consequence Of the Losses Of the Mechanics
Bank, not only was their surplus fund swallowed
up but they we're compelled 70 suspend their divi-
der d. for several years, until the Legislature reduced
their capital from two millions TO one million -four
hundred and forty thoasAnd-the reduction being
$3.50 o0o--and their losses must, therefore, have
exceeded enc million Of dollars A similar amount
Of losses was sustained by the Manhattan Com
pany, Which bank having got into trouble In 1880,
