HEAVY FAILURE.
The Pacific National Bank Suspends
PAYMENT.

Bosrox. Nov. Is. The Pacific Bank OF
Boston. has suspended. The suspension was
caused by failures in which the bank was
involved Ii was found out last evening that
the bank had cut about $500, 200 overdue
paper, all of which amount il held BY SIN
gle concern. Most of this paper consisted OF
Weeks's notes, and when INTERCEPTED the
Pacific Bank people admitted that they had
no money with which to meet them An ei-
fort TO save the bank from disaster was MADE
this morning, when offers OF support was
made bv other bank presidents to amount to
$500 900. provided satisfactory collateral
could be offered. Certain collateral was Oh
fered bv the Pacific National. but one exam
ination was not considered satisfactory py
the other bank presidents referred to, conse-
quently aid not forthcoming from TINS or
other quarters, the Pacific was ooiigeo 10
suspend The excitement has given rise to
a VARIETY of wild rumors regarding the ef-
feet of this suspension upon other banks.
There is the best authority for believing that
none of the other banking institutions OF
this city will suffer to an extent sufficient to
impair their soundness.
The directors of the Bank were in session
tonight till late hour. Bank Examiner
Needham began an examination of the bank 5
affairs and had a consultation with the d.
rectors through the evening. but no positive
conclusion been reached. Mr.. Needham says
means NAV be furnished to enable the bank
TO continue business. but the matter Will be
decided tomorrow when the directors deter
mine whether to surrender the bank to me, or
raise the money necessary to carry 1t through.
Mr.. Weeks entire hope is based upon his
margins: if he is right the bank is right. If
time is allow ed for the market to rally and
take securities his margins will carry him over.
Mr.. Needham further said Weeks did not
borrow of The bank directly. His indebted
ness was through other banks and the &C
ceptances of these checks for which this
bank made itself liable. don't believe the
total of such Indebtedness will reach over
million. We have got to bridge over Weeks
loss and then we have to meet an excited
army of depostors who make demands upon
the bank. | believe one and One-quarter
millions would bridge the bank over.
There has been no fraud, and there has
been no man trusted to the amount of half
million. When | examined the bank in jan
uary Weeks account was not here at all,
the transactions having occurred since that
date. While expressing the opinion that
there has been no fraud. Needham said there
had been great lack of judgment on the part
of the bank officials. 1t is stated that no
other banks in the city are not sufficiently in
volved to impair their capital. Investiga-
ton to be continued tomorrow.
