At 1890 yesterday afternoon the doors of
the Pacific National Bank, on Devon street,
Boston, were closed, and the following
notice posted there: lowing to failures in
which the bank is involved payment is
temporarily suspended" This was read by
some 200 or 300 men, who had been stand
ing in and about the banking.rooms for an
hour or more, awaiting the decision of the
directors, which came in the form of the
notice above quoted. 1t is understood that
the suspension of the bank was caused by
the failure of Theodore S. Weeks, large
operator on the street, whom the bank was
sustaining and who was carrying some
81 900 shares of Eastern Railroad and
large amount of Silver Islet, both of which
have fallen, but still have intrinsic value.
One of the directors of the bank told q
reporter of the Traveller that the cmbarrass-
ment resulting in the suspension was caused
by the failure Ofa large operator, whose name
he declined to give, who had been suffered
to largely overdraw. The director declined
to talk further, saying it was best to await
the report of the bank examiner. A great
deal of excitement prevailed at the bank
for an hour or two before the closing, there
being n large rush of depositors.
