NEW YORK. Feb. 19-R. G. Dun &

Disproportion between supply and

buyers in continued prosperity.
Sound conditions continue to prevail
in the iron and steel industry with few
developments of note. Coke is in some

to operate blast furnaces with less in

complaint of the scarcity and the high
prices commanded by pig iron. Fin

portionately, although they are in good
demand. Large exports of wire and
wire nails have occurred, the movement
being heaviest to Australia, South
America and Europe. With the adj

TWO CONCERNS IN TROUBLE.
Trust Company and Bank in New Jer.
seY Close Up.


ASBURY PARK, N. j., Feb. 13.-The
Monmouth Trust and Safe Deposit
company closed it's doors today. The
otnclals said that this was done to
prevent run on their institution, and
that it was done at their volition. They
said they would reopen as soon as
possible, perhaps on Monday or Tues
day next, and that the institution was
in good shape. The closing of the
company caused H&1e greatest alarm,
as savings of the poorer classes are
deposited there. asl
The First National bank was closed
today by direction of the comptroller
of the currency, and National Bank
Examiner John w. Scofield was placed
in charge as receiver The bank was
closed because of losses which alb
sorbed the surplus and undivided
profits and seriously impaired the
banks capital. The banks assets are
of such a character that additional
losses, it was feared, would have been
sustained, which would wipe out the
remaining capital.
The president of the First National
bank is George j. -Kroeger. The insti-
tuition has been under close scrutiny
for some time past, and it is under

officers of the bank to save the inStitu-

holders were willing to pay, but others
were not, and the closing of the bank
