partment until tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Eckles. the comptroller, is still Of
the opinion that the worst is over, and
that the failure of a majority of the

resents nothing more serious than tenn
porary inability to pay out unusual
sums of money that could have been
provided had the panic-stricken share
holders given reasonable notice.

the Second national bank of Ashland, '
ny, which closed its doors June II, re-
opened for business on July 19. having

amounted to a, I4s, and Withdrawals,

Cheyenne. Wyo., had failed was re-
ceived. The comptroller to-day ap-
pointed John p. Hopkins, of Kensin9-
