MERCHANTS NATIONAL BANK
OF PORTLAND CLOSES DOORS
BY Associated Press.

by Associated ITeSs.
PORTLAND, Ore. Nov. 12.-The Mer-
chants National bank of this city is for
the time being in the hands of the comp
troler of the currency. Its doors were
not opened this morning at the regular
hour because of persistent rumors which
resulted in a quiet but none the less
depicting run.
The bank fought with vigor and tenac-
ity against the relentless hammering TO
which the institution was subjected, but
in vain: and while strictly solvent, the
bank has been obliged to close it's doors
temporarily, awaiting the advice of the
comptroller of the currency, to whom the
bank has wired details of the situation
and conditions which brought about its
embarrassment With $5212,052 on deposit
at the close of business August % last,
when the comptroller called for a state
ment of the condition of all national
banks, the bank has since that date
liouidated over S2,30000O. of which the
amount of S1,50000O has been withdrawn
since the holiday season began, Octo-
Der 80
This run, although a quiet one, meant
an average daily withdrawal of cash from
the bank of more than 100000. and the
only assistance the bank has received to
Withstand this exhausting drain on its
funds has been the loan of $250,000 from
The Clearing House association.
A. L. Mills, chairman of the loan com"
mittee of the Portland Clearing House
association and president of the First Ma
tional bank of this city, said
TT should be distinctly understood that
the Merchants National bank has only
suspended payment Its officers state
and am confident they are sincere, that
they expect to liquidate a portion of its
securities and secure new capital and
resume business.
Its failure is Immediately due to re-
cent heavy Withdrawals and other heavy
demands made upon 1t since October 2S
The Clearing House association has ex-
tended 1t every aid within it's power, hay
,anital of the bank, which is the full
limit permitted by law.
"The bank has not attempted to force
any of it's debtors because of the wide
spread disaster it would occasion and has
preferred instead to take the medicine

'"There has been a strange lack of con-
fidence in the bank for some time. There
was no reason for any such feeling, and
why it should have been singled out and
prosecuted with rumor after rumor as to
its soundness is past my understanding
The bank suspends today after having
lost $4,000 in the clearings yesterday.
This loss has been running on an average
of $4,000 day for some time"
The following Is the statement of j.
Frank Wilson, president of the Merchants
National bank:
Since the failure of the Oregon Trust
and Savings bank last August we have
paid out of our deposits $2,300,000, and of
this sum we have liquidated more than
81 100000 since the holiday season COM
menced. We attribute this special run
on our bank to the fact that vicious ru-
nors about the bank were started at that
time and kept up continually ever since
the holiday season began. In fact we
have been informed by some of our de-
positors that they have received anony-
nous letters and messages by telephone
from anonymous sources advising them to
withdraw their funds from our bank.
The Clearing House association loaned us
up to the limit permitted by the national
banking act
"Our New York correspondents, Han
over National, National Bank Of Com
merce and the Merchants National, united
in offers of all assistance needed to tide
us over the emergency, but we were of
course prevented from availing our
selves of this tender of assistance also
by the national banking act. We have
asked the advice of the comptroller of the
currency and he will probably send a

bank is absolutely solvent and we are
confident we shall be able to resume
operations in a short time"
