FAILURE OF A GREAT AUS
TRALIAN BANK.

MELBOURNE, April 1.-The Com
mercial Bank of Australia has sus-
pended payment. The shareholders
have been summoned to consider
proposals for the reconstruction OF
the bank. The affairs of the con-
Germ have been in bad shape for
some time and the collapse has
been expected for several days.
The paid up capital of the bank
was 81, 100000, while the sub
scribed capital was 100000.
The reserve fund was 100000.
The Board of Directors comprised
George Nea,ss, Chairman; George
Coppin, Matthew Lang and Nathan
Thornley,. The bank had a branch
in London at No. 1 Bishopsgate
street, Within. 1t also had
branches in Edinburgh, Glasgow,
and all the principal cities and
towns Of Australia.
The directors of the Commercial
Bank have declined the offer OF
assistance made by the Associated
Banks, on the ground that the
amount named in the offer is in
sufficient. Nevertheless the Asso
ciated Banks will cash the notes Of
the Commercial. A plan for the re-
construction of the bank is already
forming, and it is expected that {
new company with a paid-up capi
tai of 96,0O0,0O0 will be organized
to this end.
The suspension was caused by
