from Laconia, n. H., says Following

proved to be but temporary, as the bank
opened for business at 2 p. IN. lt was
then announced that after n conference
with the bank officials as TO the best
course to pursue the trustees of the bank
had decided TO continue business under
certain restrictions The deposits which
were received during the afternoon were
made special and distinct from the other
funds OF the bank. The trouble in con-
nection with this bank comes largely
from the western farm loans, and the in
ability of the farmers to pay off mort
cages, under the stress of hard times,
brought about by the great fall in the
value of corn and wheat Mortgages have
been foreclosed in many instances, but
the land cannot be sold at any price now

to the recent report, is as follows: Liabil-
ities-amount due depositors, S272, $50. 02;
