A motion was made to adopt the resolu.
tions, and pending tho question Captain
William Halliday, president of the City
National Bank, said that the directors
of his bank had had meeting on Satur-
day night, and after . careful investigs.
ton of the affairs of the institution had
concluded that the bank could pay all de-
positors except the stockholders but he
thought the adoption Of the resolutions
would BIO wise action on
the part of the business men of
Cairo. Ii the banks should bs drained by
depositors business would suffer greatly.
Mr.. Stafford said the banks of Cairo had
never been in better condition than they
were now, but the impossibility of obtaining
currency would lead to.great embarrass-
