MORE BANK FAILURES.
The Commercial Bank OF milwaukee
Makes an Assignment.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. July 21.-People
about the courthouse were thrown into
state OF CONSERVATION about 1890
o'clock this morning when an attorney
jumped down stairs, two steps at q
time, leading TO the clerk of courts
oftlce and filed voluntary assignment
OF the Commercial Bank. This haste
was owing to the number of creditors
hard on his heels who had attachments
and executions to file. The assignee
In the papers filed is a. B. Geilfuss,
cashier of the bank, and his bond is
placed at 1900, 900. His bondsmen are:
Albert Como, Charles L. Plister and e.
Marion.
The entire fund of the Milwaukee
company, amounting to S31O,624, was
deposited in the Commercial Bank. The
newly organized Milwaukee Electric
Railway Company was also depositor
to the extent of 100000. During the
financial furry a month ago, caused by
the Lappen failure, and which resulted
in the suspension of the Plankinton
Bank, there was quite run on the
Commercial, but it has been generally
believed that the institution would
weather the storm. AS there has been
no trouble here for some time, the as
signment this morning was great sur
prise.
TACOMA, Wash, July 2l.-The
Traders Bank, of Tacoma, failed to
open for business this morning. The
banks suspension is due to inability to
procure ready money. It's securities
are sufficient to pay all obligations and
leave large surplus. Without any
run or excitement the deposits of the
bank have by steady drain been re-
duced since October over eighty per
cent.
