FAILURE DUE TO 1NJUD1c1oUs
LOANS.
DEposlToRs' LOSS SMALL
Nay Open Monday If Sufficient
Assets to Pay Depositors
Are Guaranteed.

Washington, June 29-Comptroller
of the Currency Dawes late tonight
appointed a temporary receiver of
the City National bank of Buffalo,
New York. The following statement
was made by Mr.. Dawes tonight:
Recent examination of the City
National bank of Buffalo, by a spec
ial examiner showed a serious condi-
ton Of affairs existing in the bank.
In order that this might be thorough
ly verified the comptroller on Friday
sent A. D. Lynch of this office, to-
gether with another examiner to
Buffalo, to make a careful re-exami-
nation of the condition of, the bank.
On Saturday Mr.. Lynch t~elegraphed
the comptroller that the former re-
port was sustained in all particulars
and thereupon the comptroller wir-
ed him rs follows: Condition of
this bank is so serious that l cannot
consent to it's %re-opening for business
Monday morning, unless sufficient
assets to pay depositorsi in full are sat
isfactorily guaranteed. The bank
certainly is insolvent and l have no
right under these circumstances to
permit the withdrawal of deposits by
delay in action. If the directors think
that their efforts from this time until
banking hours Monday morning will
prove insufficient to provide means
to rehabitate the bank notify me and
l will appoint a receiver Immediate
ly."
"In accordance with the tenor of
this dispatch and reports from Buffo-
10 the comptroller has appointed g.
]. Vaughn, national bank examiner,
as temporary receiver of the bank"
The failure of the bank is due to
injudicious loans. 1t is not thought
that the loss to depositors will be
large.

telegram received this afternoon:

telegram received this afternoon:
 Charlotte, N C., February 16.-On ac- count of the unusually prolonged low prices of cotton goods and yarn products 5000 spindles in this section have de- cided to run on half time for an indefi- nite period, beginning at once. This &C., ton Is confined entirely to the hosiery yarn mills. The hosiery yarn spinners who control the above mills, took this action without reference to the proposed curtalment to be considered here by the Southern cotton spinners in meeting to- morrow.
 ''It Is probable that half the mills in or run on half time very soon as the outcome of the meeting"
 This speaks for Itself. It Is also thought that deliveries on March contracts will be liberal as the holders of the spot cot ton here delivered to them last month. have been selling March quite freely for some time, and buying the months fur ther distant, without having to pay a premium. This would appear wise pol icy, for instead of carrying the actual stuff. which is very expensive thing to do, they may be accommodating a consid erable line of the later months.
 We see no reason to change our views on the market. There will no doubt be temporary advances right along, but un- til the situation from a supply and de- mand standpoint improves and consider ably so, or speculation increases, or something entirely unforeseen turns up, We believe sales on the bulges will be the most likely to prove right

Cotton Letter.

Lee & Co.'s Letter to H. D. Cothran &
 Co.,:
 New York, February 16.-The most i'm portant features of the week was the rel ative weakness of the nearby months, March going from a premium to a dis count under May. Some believe that this is distinct bear factor, but not neces- sarily so, besides there are many good reasons for the near months showing relatively greater weakness of late, and why they should be a discount.
 In the first place there is a large stock of cotton here now, which was not the case some months ago, and that very fact encouraged and made manipulation possible causing the current months to go to a premium. Then, it Is supposed, holdings of spot cotton South are quite liberal, and naturally hedge sales would be made at the highest possible level The holders of the same felt so sure of their position they would not sell on the advance last month. but are showing signs of weakening now. and no doubt the continued poor demand for cotton goods Is the cause. This naturally would have greater weight on the cur rent or near months In this connection we wish to call attention to the following

MARCH COTTON
 BROKE 10 POINTS Break Was Followed By Con-
 siderable Excitement SPECULATION WAS ACTIVE While There Was Slight Reaction in the Morning On Flurries of Profit Taking, the General Course
 Was Downward.

New York February 16.-The cotton higher to 3 points lower It was clear from the first that the trade looked for no rally, but was prepared to work against the entire list should the situa- tion take a turn favorable to such move. Light port receipts and cables fully as good as expected, for a moment held bears in check, but soon general selling set in on a large scale
 Stop orders on March holdings were reached shortly after the call. and served to undermine long cotton for later de- livery. March promptly broke 10 points with the latter deliveries following, though at a more moderate pace. The break was attended by considerable ex- citement and more active speculation than recorded In somo weeks. There was little growth in commission business however, the public feeling the liquida- tion of cotton now held in New York warehouses. In fact the action of March did much to confirm opinions In this re- spect While there was slight reaction later in the morning on flurries of room profit-taking, the general course of the market was downward. The market closed steady, with prices net unchanged to points lower.
