/ BAHh SUSPENSION.
LONDON, Jan. 4.-The Cornish Bank at Truro,
Cornwall, closed this morning. 1t is hoped the
suspension will be only temporary. The bank
| did very large business in mining and other
commercial enterprises.
| The bank belongs to Tueedle, Williams &;
Co. 1t was established about ITO years ago,
and has branches at Falmouth, Penryu, and
Kedruth. Sir Frederick Williams, member Of
| Parliament for Truro, who died recently, held
| one-third Of the concern. His widow is sole
executor. The bank had an authorized issue Of
| e49 001. The deposit amounted to 5000 000
A dispatch from Plymouth says the stoppage
OF the Cornish Bank will cause terrible distress
! among the traders Of West Cornwall. The i'm
mediate canse Of the suspension is the run on
the bank, during the last fortnight, resulting
from rumors that the late Sir Frederick Will
1ams was largely indebted to the bank, and that
large portion of the capital was locked up in
mines and in advances OF tin a further STOP
page Of Cornish mines is inevitable, and the
failure Of many private firms must follow.
