Citizens and Ocean banks have suspendedeight in all
L. Fish Co., and Brown Cary, merchants, have
suspended.
Also, the Chatham and Bulls Head Banks have sus
pended.
Itappears that the Marine Bank was stopped by an in
junction by of its customers and it is presumed that
the others stopped by the game cause. BY this
means the penalty of winding up, which attaches to
suspension is evaied and is probable that Of the
above only temporary This understanding has
relieved to a considerable extent the excitement.

At the American Exchange Bank David Leavtt adj
dressed the crowd assuring them that the bank would
pay all to the last dollar. He also announced that an
arrangement had been made with several of the strongest
banks to go through without suspension.
