positors is about twenty Thousand.
When interviewed this morning, Barbour,
manager, said that he only wished all those
who doubted the stability of the bank would
come on as he did not desire to keep their de-
posits.
It is no secret that they obtained 900
of the Bank of Montreal notes yesterday.
Small depositors are being paid in these, and
larger ones in cheeks on the Bank Of Mon
treal. A large number Of people assembled
around the doors of the bank this morning
about o'clock; the greater part apparently
were spectators in anticipation OF scene.
The bank opened half hour before the usual
time, at 30 o'clock, and steady run Is going
on.
The quotation for Consolidated and Ex-

The New Jersey coast and Long Island City
with parts OF Brooklyn, as more exposed to

fers to the case of the Juniata Glare as evil
dence OF the value OF restrictions upon the
dumping OF ballast from infected places.
This vessel, arriving from Havana last year,
landed her ballast within the limits OF the
Brooklyn navy yard. The result was an
area Of yellow fever infection at that point.
He states that the vessels, not the cargo, are
the chief causes Of the fever, and that 1t is
the sailing class rather than line Of steam
ers which cause the most damage.
Consul General Hall, at Havana, sends the
following dispatch to the Department OF
State:
The following vessels are reported as hav-

Eneg, for New York. Since the twenty fourth

Sri have to inform you that in view OF the
number of vessels now in New York harbor

given permission by the officers Of this ser
