"oLD HUToH's CAREER CLOSED.

1t is o strange close which has come to
the career of BENJAMIN P. HUTCHINSON,
familiarly known as "Old HUTCH" For
years he was the leader Of grain spectators
in the Chicago Board Of Trade, and It was
in his power TO send quotations soaring or
tumbling, just as seemed best for his own
immediate interests. His fame was wide
spread and his corners in wheat have
been discussed wherever wheat is known.
He was the king operator Of his kind.
A few months ago there were rumors that
"old HUTCH" had weakened, that his men
tai grasp was not what it had been, that his
operations were less successful, and that he
had parted with much of tho fortune
made in better days. And now comes
the news that he has practically
failed, that he has been sold out
on Change because his margins on ven
lures were not forthcoming, and that he
has disappeared from Chicago between two
days. or his once splendid fortune por
tion is secured to his family by an arrange
ment made some months ago. The res
has been dissipated like the powers of the
man whose former shrewdness led to 1t.

THE DUTY OF BANK DIRECTORS.

Many a bank has had its reputation and
its standing among people who sought to do
business with it made good by the names
which It presented as those of its directors.
It has been popular assumption
that these directors have responsible
duties in connection with the banks
affairs, and that they really constituted a
Board with motives and a purpose. Under
the strain OF such circumstances as devel-
oped some time ago in. regard to
the North River Bank and the
Washington Bank, and such as are
now developing in the case Of the Ninth
National Bank, this assumption is losing
much of its force. In its place the query is
prompted: What are directors forH or,
What is the directors idea Of their respon-
hbilityS
1t has not been generally understood that
these gentlemen were elected to express
either on stated occasions, or by their con-
slant complacence towards the bank affairs,
their supreme confidence in the man at the
head of the institution. Yet we read this
in q story of the Ninth National Banks
present dimculties
When President GARDEN, who was Vice
President OF the bank at that time, was asked
whether the directors knew OF President. HILLS
getting so deeply into the banks debt, he re-
Piled that he supposed they did, but that they
had great confidence in Mr.. HILL
While this touching display of confidence
was being carried on the official who en-
joyed 1t was quietly proceeding with tht
schemes which eventually cost the institu
.tion $40O, 900, and which might, with &
little longer run, have undermined tn,
banks solvency. These schemes coult
have been brought to close at any tim,
had the directors attended to their duty in
stead of cherishing their blind and indolen
trust.
The law has dealt harshly with many

marked than this ono Of Board of Direc

even failed to know the affairs of the in

from the statem ment OF Mrs. GRlMwooD, the
