GERMAN NATIONALS CONDITION.
The Report to the Comptroller Shows .
Shortage of $4,000 Liabilities
Amount to S1.662 .Oss, or s415,oO0
More Than tho Available Asseta


Shortage of S415.OO0 Liabilities
Amount to S1.662. Oss. or s415,oO0
More Than the Available Assets.
WASHINGTON, December 17.-Mr. John
w. Mcdonald, the personal representative
of the comptroller, has returned with the
report of the committee appointed to ap-
praise the assets and examine the condi-
ton of the German National Bank of
Pittsburg. Mr.. Hugh Young. Mr.. John
B. Jackson and Mr.. John w. Mcdonald
comprised the committee, and they agree
in their findings, The report shows as
follows:
Leaving out the building, carried at
s429 coo; slow paper. perhaps largely good,
$4,000, and the entire Groetzinger indebt-
edness of $243 600, the absolutely cash and
speedily available assets lack $4,000 of
enough to pay all liabilities. which
amount to 81 So 0S3.
1.-THE directors believe that if the bank
can be re-opened they can arrange to take
the building for 100000 cash. They wish
to get an expression of the sentiment of
the stockholders, and have therefore call
ed a meeting of the shareholders for jan
uary 10, 1899, to vote on a proposition to
recommend to the comptroller that he
levy an assessment of 100 per cent, the
amount necessary to make good the i'm
pairment of the capital stock, and allow
the bank to reopen.
IF the bank receives for the bank build
ing $780, goo cash, it leaves a shortage, ac-
cording to the committee, of only SIS, 00O
which can be fully made up out of the
$4,000 doubtful paper, leaving the new
stock unimpaired, with all the Groetzingsr
paper for future realization.
THE committee have estimated the
S445, 900 Natalie coal bonds at 50 cents $50 =
$50, at which price they can no doubt be
sold.
THE comptroller, after considering the
report, has given the stockholders and di-
rectors of the bank until January Il to
determine whether or not they will meet
the conditions he imposes for the reopen
ing of the bank. The conditions are as
follows:
1.-THE directors must relieve the bank
of the bank building at a cash sum of
not less than 500, coo, and the stockhold-
ers must pay in, as an assessment, an adj
ditional sum of $3.50, COO"
If these conditions are not complied
with by January IL the comptroller will
make an appointment of permanent re-
ceiVer.
