Among the banks mentioned In the
rumors which followed the news OF the
Broadway bank trouble, was the Fourth
National bank, with which the Squire
corporation was known TO have trans
acted considerable business. This
bank opened its doors as usual, how
ever, and an official of the bank gave
out the statement that while the John
+. Squire corporation has Indebtedness
in the bank, ii in no wise involved the
banks condition.
A rumor also was current before noon
that a sporting goods house here. one
of the largest in New England, hau
made anassignment. Upon investigations
II was found that the firm had made
no assignment and that the rlirnor was
due to the fact that the concern was
heavily indebted to the Globe National
bank. IL appears that the Globe Ma
tional bank has endeavored to collect a
considerable portion of the money due
IL with the result that arrangements
were made whereby a large amount OF
the firms stock had been marked down
so that IL could be disposed OF quickly
to realize enough money to pay parf OF
its indebtedness to the bank.
OPINIONS OF BANKERS.
Members OF the clearing house COM
mittee refused to discuss the Broadway
Bank question today. It seemed to be
the opinion among the bankers that no
important failures would follow the
closing OF the bank.
A prominent banker. who Is closely
in touch with the matters of the street
said: THE management of financial az
fairs N Boston is i'm the hands of very
able men. and we may feel sure that
they will do all in their power to avert
additional disasters. 1t is for the adj
vantage OF each bank that every other
bank should stand on a solid footing
and. If only for purely selfish reasons.
they are all ready to stand by each
other as far as possible
Another banker, when asked III he
expected other failures as the result OF
the closing of the Broadway Bank
said:
II have not sufficient information up-
on which to base an intelligent answer
TO that question. 1t is possible that
there may be a weak institution or two
which will be affected, but what of IT.?
If a bank Is not on solid footing Oe
sooner il is known the better. 1t would
be for the advantage Of State street

Mr.. Wing is one of the national bank

the banks embarrassment was due to
the tight" situation OF the money
market here. which has hampered

The news of the difficulty was known
all over the financial section of the city
three-quarters of an hour before the
opening Of the Boston Stock exchange,
50 that the big houses had ample time
to prevent any serious stampede.
The recent trouble at the Globe Ma
tinnal bank, Of which the Squires were
heavy dealers, are still fresh in the
minds OF business men, and during the
forenoon all sorts of wild rumors were
aloat. Those reports made mention OF
other national banks with which the
Squires were connected and one or two
institutions, which 10 was said would bs
most likely to feel the influence of the
disturbance. For an hour these condi-
tions prevailed, but as one after the
other Of the banks mentioned were
found to be doing business as usual the
agitation began to substle and by II
o'clock affairs apparently had resumed
their normal state.
