ers. |
LONDON, Oct. 26.-It is believed that the call
for $2500 per share, of which the liquidation of
the Glasgow bank gave notice yesterday, will |
exhaust the means of the smallar shareholders.
and throw the burden of the assessment upon
a few wealthy ones. This assessment will be- |
further increased by the fact that the bank
itself held large amount of its own shares !
such an amount that about four and half mil /
lons of the present call would have been as
sessed thereon, and which must, consequently,
be made good by the shareholders. The first
instalment of the present call is made payable
on the 22d of December and the second the
oath of February.
