The Failure of the Bank of tae State of
New York.

The Failure of the Bank of tae State of
New York.
NEW YORK, March 14-The failure of the
Bank of the State of New York is attributed to
the fact that the bank has been loaning on
warehouse receipts for several years, which re-
suited in overdrafts to the extent of some
protested paper, 10 the opinion of the bank ex-
aminers and clearing house, impaired its capt.
tai, and consequently it has been dropped from
the clearing houses Some of the directors
think the depositors will be paid in full, and
stockholders 30 per cent The following is the
latest statement of the bank for the week end
ing March 11tb, 1876: Loans SO, $4,000; de-
ders, 81, 095, 800.
The latest edition of the Post this evening
says although t he failure of the Bank of the
State of New York was received with general
surprise, no cause for astonishment exists if
the affairs OF the institution were conduct ed as
now reported. 1t is said that the vice president
of the bank, Mr.. Patrick, owes it $3.50, 900 Sc =
cured by real estate alleged to be worth one
half that amount. II is also said check Of
Mr.. Patricks for $4,000 has been counted
among the banks cash, Over drafts to the
amount of $45O,000 have been permitted which
were secured only by patents. In addition 1t
is alleged that the time loans have been made
to the amount OF 81, 205,000 secured by Smith &
Girvan on malt and hops said to be of but one
half that value.
1t is further reported on excellent authority
that Over-drafts TO the extent of about $25O,OJO
were made on the bank by A. s. Western, bro
duce commission house, whose business is
largely in Kentucky, and those were secured
only by the assignment of book accounts.

FAILURE OF DANIEL DREw,-It has been
said that it Is only question of time when
every railroad employe shall be killed. There
is more certainty about the failure of every
stockjobber. The veteran Daniel Drew, there
fore, with his thirty years in Wall street, and
his numerous triumphs in the way of smashing
rivals, ought to be resigned that his day has
come. He may reflect, perhaps, that with half
the business talent and skill devoted to the
prosecution of any mercantile pursuit of the
most hum-drum character, he might in all
probability have retired with handsome for
tune. Very likely. however, if he had life to
begin over again, he would retrace precisely the
same career, and there is not much hope of
others taking warning from his fate Mr.. Drew
dates the beginning of his financial mlsfortunes
to the loss of a million on corner in North
western two or three years age. He next lost
on Toledo and Wabash, on which he was
short" and on the enterprise of constructing
the Canada Southern Railway. He was al go
a general partner in the firm of King, Cox &
Co., brokers, into which, he says, he went as
matter Of friendship. 1t is stated that the en-
dowment of the Drew Theological Seminary at
Madison N. j, for $250,000, and that of the
wesleyan University at Middletown Conn,
for 100000, are secured by mortgages on his
farms in Putnam county, N. Y. of which he
owns five or six. This was done soon after his
first troubles. when he telt the need of protect
ing them.-Bost0n Journal.
