ness. The steady withdrawal Of de-
posits since that time has placed the
bank In an embarrassing position, and
neccssltated another suspension. The
statement given out Is not complete. II

ties Of x1,05O,0O0.
Tho Star this afternoon will shy cdl.

of the city Will be In any way affected,
being In splendid condition.
Though the bank was known to have
been III d shaky condition the failure
was unexpected and the news Of the
suspension created quite sensation In
financial circles here.
The bank Is the Oldest financial insti-
tuition In the city, having been estab-

Although the capital was reduced
and the stockholders paid In n 60 per

tho Institution has never recovered from
the blow 1t received at that time and It's
suspension now Is directly attributed to
that suspension.
The officers of the bank IRE closetcd
with several OF the heavy dcpositors at
this time. 1t Is understood that It Is
the Intention to wind up the affairs Of
the institution and retire from business.
President 4. =. Clark says that the
suspension Is merely liquidation and
that not a depositor will lose cent.
Since March the dcpositors have been
drawing out. as they considered the
statement very unfavorable. On Sat
urday over 100000 was withdrawn
and the officers saw that II the run con-
tinucd they would not be able to con-
tinue payment to-day.
There is no probability that any of the
other hanks will be affected In any
