A Report Denied.

A report was circulated yesterday in Boston
and Portland that the Casco Bank was tenn
porarily embarrassed by the failure of the
Maverick Bank. President Small said yes
terday that his bank had less than half its
usual deposit in the Maverick Bank. The
books of the Casco Bank show that the Cas-
co had 5000 in the Maverick Bank at the
close of business Saturday night. Add to
this $4,000 In checks, which have been
drawn and not presented, and the books Of
the Maverick will show that they owe the
Casco about $4,000. What the Casco will
lose by the Maverick failure will depend on
the percentage that is paid. If the bank
pays rs per cent. as expected, then the Cas-
co will lose $4,000.
