Only Slight Ripple on the Surface
of its Affairs.
There was only ripple of fear among
the depositors of the German Savings and
Loan Society ON California street yester-
day.
1t could not be called a run, for at no
time during the day were there more than
forty depositors waiting to have their &C
counts closed.
Depositors who withdrew their savings
from the German institution were so few,
in fact. that they did not deem it neces-
sary to form in line.
President Gottig. the head of the Ger
man bank. was serene and content when a
CALL reporter asked him for brief state
ment.
THE only thing bothering us today"
said he, ARE the outsiders and curiosity
seekers who come here to see what is going
on. We have no run at all, and the amount
of money withdrawn by depositors is not
much more than usual. while our deposits
have been coming in just the same as on
any other day. This is only temporary
scare, and will have entirely disappeared
by Monday. We have on hand sufficient
coin to meet all demands. and anticipate
no trouble or difficulty at all with our de-
Dositors"

secure it.
Those who reached the banks too early
were those who suffered the most. They

OTHER SAVINGS BANKS.
The Customary Business the Rule
of the Day.


Nothing amounting to the dignity of
run was observed at any of the other saw
ings banks.
More money was deposited in the Secur-
ity Savings Banks than was drawn out.
The same can be said of the Safe Deposit
and Trust Bank on the corner of Califor-
MIA and Montgomery streets.
The Mutual Savings Bank on Post street,
owned by James G. Fair and James Phe-
Ian. was as quiet as graveyard. Cashier
Thompson, who was formerly a Bank
Commissioner, pronounced the run on the
Hibernia and Savings Union the silliest
eruption of senseless fear that he had ever
known.
All was quiet at the Humboldt Bank on
Geary street. There are more than three
millions deposited in this institution. but
nobody see med to be interested in reducing
the pile.
All wa S equally quiet at the Pacific Coast
Savings Bank on Market street.
