ical sketch of the New

BOSTON BANKS AVERT PANIC
Clearing House Association Votes to Raise
$500, 0O0 by Certificates,
TO TIDE ov.R The GLOBE NATIONAL
Finances of Institution in Unsntis-
factory Condition owing TO I'm
profitable Investments in OIL
and Mining Securities.

| BOSTON, Dec. 14.-At a meeting OF the
! Boston Clearing House association. rep
| resentatves of the national banks of tn S
/ city it was voted to raise SO, 500, OO0 in spe-
cial clearing house certificates to enable
/ the Globe National bank to tide over the
| difficulties In its finances which have eX-
! listed for some time. 1t is announced at
the clearing house that the bank will thereby
be able to continue without further trouble.
The finances of the institution have heen
| in an unsatisfactory condition owing to un-
! profitable investments in oil and mining
securities The trouble first came to the
surface early in November, when President
Charles Cole resigned his position. For
! several weeks his successor, IL. II. Stevens,
and his assistants have been endeavo. in I
to place the bank on a tirmer basis 1t was
| found, however that a certain amount OF
securities could not be disposed of readily,
the stocks having steadily fallen in value
the last fortnight, and the matter was laid
before the Clearing House association, wi h
the result that assistance was voted today.
President Stevens after the meeting of
the clearing house said
THE Globe National bank is all right
and the fact that the clearing house Vas
willing to loan us s35O0OOO is sufficiently
good proof that the bank is solvent We
have resources in cash on hand money
owed us, securities and real property sufii-
cient to pay every cent we owe"
The last report of the condition of the
Globe National bank December ., showed
resources OF 10,529, $50 and liabilities, in
cluding capital stock paid in, 81 ,OOO,C CO0 due
to other banks. 1927, POI; due TO state banks
and bankers, s347 ,537, and individual de-
posts subject to checks, s5,47S,06S.
The money situation and apprehension
over the connection between several mining
men and the Globe National bank today
caused considerable excitement in the stock
market. Some Of the copper shares formed
| an object of attack and prices fell rapidly.
Tamarack and Boston & Montana were
sold heavily. Block after block of Montana
was thrown on the market until the price
sagged to $3.50, decline of s25 a share
from the opening. Montana afterwards
rallied somewhat. Arcadian and the other
States Oil fell to %. United States Mining,
one of the Globe bank stocks nuctuated but
few points. regaining it's losses.
1t is generally considered that by its action
the clearing house management averted
panic, as the tying up of about $4,000, 900
of deposits would have been a very serious
thing. BY todays vote the assets of the
Globe bank will be turned over to the clear
ing house. 1t is improbable that any losses
will be incurred by the banks interested in
the vote, but the method taken insures, il
there is any such loss, 1t will be subdivided
among so many that the share of each will
be insignificant.
