100 Per Cent. Assessment Levied ON Heatb,s
Bank.

Comptroller Dawes has received the
preliminary report from the receiver
Of the Seventh National bank of New
York City. The receiver states that
his estimates of the value of the assets
are, OF course, only approximate. He
estimates the amount that will be
finally recovered for the depositors
from the assets, including stockhold-
ers' assessment, at about so cents on
the dollar.
The receiver states that his estimate
of the value of the Marquandt collat-
eral is less than is claimed by the di-
rectors of the bank. and it is possible
on this account that the final collec-
tions may be somewhat better than
the receivers estimate.
All transactions connected with the
advance of cash to the bank just prior
to its failure are being carefully in
vestigated by competent counsel, and
that all legal rights o. the depositors
will be protected in this connection.
Comptroller Dawes ordered an assess
ment of 100 per cent on the $500, 600
capital stock of the bank.
