OFFICE BANK CALIpoRNiAl
August rs. 1875 :
The trustees are under the painful neces-
sity ct stating to the customers Of the bank
and the public that the bank is compelled
to suspend business. At this moment, and
without reports from the age ncies, We are
not prepared to make statement ~ to the
situation of the bank, but are now examia-
ing the interest critically, and will, ut the |
earliest possible moment, make Q definite
report. By order Of the trustees
s. f: RANKIN, Secretary.
President Ralst0n stated orally, on his.
own responsibility and that Of the officers |
Of the bank, no doubt they would be able |
to meet all their obligations. In reply to
, question as to when they expected to
open again, he said, Not at ALL" And
on the repetition Of the
.ume." Ralston further stated that about
B 400, 900 were paid out to-day. No assist
snce was received from other banks,
hough application was made for it. He
lad telegraphed to all agencies of the bank
% close. He thought no banks in the in
eri0r would be affected by failure.
The excitement in California is intense.
The street was blocked during tho after
loon. The crowd on the whole was quiet
oppressed in the ability Of the bank to re-
!eem its obligations. A run was made on
he National Gold Bank and Trust Com
ANY, but the bank continued paying until
he closing hour, and asserted their ability
0 settle all demands in coin or bonds. The
theF banks in the city report NO unusual
emsnds on their resources.
The San Francisco and Pacific Stock Ex-
banges held no sessions ais afternoon, ad-
ourBing to call, and the former passed
f0rbidding members to do bust
ess in the interim. The late hour at which
he Suspension of the Bank Of California
ccurred renders it difficult to calculate the
fleet on Other financial interests at present.
