The National Bank at Cory, Pa, Closed
by an Examiner.

PITTsBURG, Nov. THE Chronicle Tele-
graphs CORY special says: A sensation was
created here this morning by the suspension
of the Cory National Bank. The news spread

citement, as it was believed TO be perfectly
sound institution. Inquiry revealed the fact
that the bank had been closed by order of
the Bank Examiner. The capital stock was
100000. No statement has yet been made
of the liabilities.
The deposits are close to 5000 600. The
failure is due almost entirely to the fact
that the bank has been carrying large
amount Of paper for business men in this
section and in the lumber country, who
have been unable to meet obligations. The
bank has branch here, which was very
important source of revenue. About a
month ago the comptroller decided that the
branch must close up, in accordance with
the policy not TO allow branch banks TO do
business. This move would deprive the
main bank of IL large line of business and
would hurt them seriously in their present
condition. and they feared it would cause
run that they could not stand. The officers
say the depositurs will get every dollar
owed them.
