untarv Ijauidation The assets OF the

az shown by the examiner considered ana
as "a conclusion. IL was decided that inc
bank should Ice suspended from the clear
ing house and funds not furnished Tor
voluntarily liquidation. Three OF the
banks directors were present at these
meetings.
LOSS MAY NOT BE LARGE.
In view OF everything, i am convinced
that the Clearing House Committee act
ed judiciously. The management on
the part OF the officers and directors
has been 10 state IT mildly grossly neg
Hgent. The liabilities OF the bank are
large. but by careful and judicious man.
agement the loss entailed upon credi-
tors need not be large. If any. Every
measure win be taken by the
Clearing House and comptrollcr's
Office to prevent other bank
or business failures. and unneces-
sary monetary stringency. Already all
outside banks having the National Bank
OF Illinois as reserve agent have been
notified by telegraph of the 20 per cent
Clearing House arrangement. large
amount of difficulty can be prevented III
those depending upon the banks of chi
cago and elsewhere affected by this
banks failure use good judgment ana
do not work themselves into state OF
panic Other banks can be made 30 fan
only through those having funds with
them becoming frightened and making
UNNECESSARY demands. On the other
hand the banks ought TO be careful and
prudent IN not unnecessarily GAZING
the loans of their business customers.
The clearinghouse proposition alluded
10 is that the Clearinghouse will imme-
diately advance % per cent. OF the race
of approved claims. and thus give cred
itors of the bank immediate relief. and
prevent unnecessary disturbance OF
business.
Reassuring action was taken at
largely-attcnded meeting Of the Clearing
House Association. which was held after
banking hours this afternoon.
