BOSTON BANK CLOSED.
Central National Bnnk In Placed In
the Hands of Comptroller OF
the Currency.

Boston, Nov. 15.-The Central Ma
tional, small institution compared
with many other city banks, did not
open it's doors Friday, because of an
order from the comptroller of the cur
rency, who had placed National Bank
Examiner w. +. Neal over it as tempo
rary receiver. Impaired assets is given
as the reason for the failure, and the
bank is closed for good. The incident
did not produce any furry in finan-
cial circles, as the closing of the bank
through liquidation by the Eliot Ma
tional bank was looked for, and such
action il was supposed had commenced.
The incident which precipitated the
failure was the rejection of consid-
cradle portion of the Central banks
assets by President Burrage, of the
Eliot bank, who was scrutinizing them
preparatory to taking the bank for
liquidation. Another portion of the
assets was known to have been accept
able, and the action of President Bur
rage and the Eliot bank directorate
in refusing to liquidate the bank was
unexpected. Wednesday sales of the
Centrars stock dropped SIS from par
and on Thursday depositors withdrew
something like So 900 900.
