NEW York, oct. 1.-THE directors of
the Metropolitan National bank have
issued circular to the banks stock
holders, asking for permission to put the
institution into liquidation. Among
bankers, tho general belief is that the
Metropolitan bank would go into liquI-
dation. The bank is losing money ac-
cordng to common report, and, while
perfectly sound, could not recover from
the bad effect Of the Seney failure.
n prominent bank officer said
the bulk Of the banks
assets were on deposit with the loan
committee of the clearing house, and
that the comptroller of the currency had
notified the banks officers that he would
not allow them to continue business
that way. If the banks affairs were
wound up at oncet the stockholders would
get all their money.
