Members of Congress who called On the
President and Secretary of War today to
request the muster out of regiments in

OLD BANK IN TROUBLE
T'radesmen's of New York Fails to
Clear Today.
DUE TO CLOSING OF WOOL EXCHANGE
Columbia National of This CITY
Had Withdrawn Its Account.
CAPITAL STOCK WAS S75O,OOO

NEW YORK, October 4.-The Tradesmen's
National Bank of No. 26O West Broadway
did not clear through the clearing house, of
which it is a member. today. This fact led
to investigation, and it developed that the
bank is in serious trouble.
The clearing house committee visited the
bank yesterday and after a careful exam
ination of its securities found its capital
impaired and advised an early liquidation.
The Tradesmens National Bank is one
of the oldest and one of the best-known
institutions CT its kind in this city 1t was
organized ir the early part of this century,
and while never leader among the banks
of this city, was always regarded as very
ings.
Absorbed n Smaller Bank.
Less than year ago it absorbed one of
the smaller banks in the wholesale dry
goods district. The bank occupies quarters
in the Wool Exchange building. The wool
exchange suspended business temporarily
only few days ago. At that time il was
declared that the bank was in no degree
concerned in the suspension of the eX-
change, although ii was not denied that il
had many wool accounts. 1t had also been
rumored that the bank would be absorbed
by one of the larger institutions in the
financial quarter This report was promptly
denied by President McNaughton, who de-
clared that the bank perfectly solvent.
The capital of the Tradesmens National
Bank is S1J0,H0
In the banking district the opinion is ex-
pressed that the troubles of the wool eX-
change are indirectly responsible for the
TradeSmen'S Nationals troubles.
