directors of the Real Estate Savings Institute,
the stockholders of the concern held meeting
dition of the bank, and after full and free dis
cussion resolution was adopted to suspend at
once. Assets are placed at $3.50, 900, mainly in
bonds and mortgages on real estate, and liablli-
ties to the depos;tors are about 1886, 900. 1t is
thought the depostors will be paid in full, and
perhaps the stockholders will receive some
thing. Cause of suspension is the great shrink
age in real estate values and inability to realize
