Action of the Acting Controller.

The following statement was issued at
the office of the controller of the currency:
THE Central National Bank of Boston,
Mass, has been closed by direction of the
acting controller of the currency re-
suit of conference by telephone late last
night with Examiners Neal and Ever of
Boston. The acting controller has appoint
ed William E. Neal as temporary re-
ceiver.
1.-The bank was last examined September
II, 1902, and while the examiners report
showed losses equal to surplus and un-
divided profits then on hand there was no
evidence of insolvency, as the banks assets
seemed to be ample TO meet its liabilities to
creditors. Certain conditions were then i'm
posed upon the bank with a view to provid-
ing for losses and securing the bank against
further loss on its loans. Later it was de-
termined to place the association in volun-
tary liquidation by having another bank in
Boston take over it's assets and assume its
deposit liabilities, and it was thought that
arrangements to this end were being sue
cessfully carried out until the acting con-
troller received dispatch from Examiner
Neal yesterday that efforts to liquidate had
failed. After a conference by telephone
with the examiners, who stated that re-
ceivership was unavoidable, the bank was
ordered closed.
.'The failure is due to losses sustained.
There is no apparent dishonesty on the part
of the officers of the bank so far as the
records of the controllers office show"
The following is a statement of the re-
sources and liabilities of the bank, as shown
by the last report of condition, September
10, 1862:
