TWAS A N0IStlfSS RUN
 BUT AN EFFECTIVE ONE
A Portland Bank Closed as The Re- suit of Vicious Rumors.

~ Portland. Nov. 12.-The Merchants National Bank of this city failed to open this morning as the result of a quiet. but none the less depicting run which has been going on. While strictly solvent, the bank was obliged to close temporarily awaiting the ad- vice of the comptroller of the currency who was notified. on August 22 the deposits amounted to nearly $5.25O. .O00 which was since liquidated to S2,25O,- 900. of which sl.500. 900 has been withdrawn since the holidays began on Oct. 29th. Knowing that the Mer- chants National was solvent three New York banks offered assistance but the National Banking Act stood in the way. A long time before the trouble commenced. the bank held a larger reserve than any other bank in the city
 J. Frank Wilson. president of the Merchants National Bank. said Since the failure of the Oregon Trust ard Savings Bank last August. We have paid out s2.3OO. 900; of this sum-
 there was liquidated more than s1.- 500,OOO since the holiday season com menced. We attribute the special run to the fact that vicious rumors 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- postOrs that they received anonymous letters and messages by telepsone from anonymous sources advising the withdrawal of funds from the bank

JAPANESE TRADE WAR
 BROUGHT 10 AN END
The American Silk Dealers Have Fin ally Secured Fair Play.

New York, Nov. 12.-The war be- tween Japanese and American silk dealers, which the dealers say arose from an attempt on the part of the Japanese to control the trade and eventually drive the Americans out of the silk commission business, has been amicably settled according to d cable gram received today. The American forms claim that they were forced to deal through Japanese miGdlemen and pay higher prices than Japanese con- cerns who bought directly and also, that their orders were laid aside until those of their competitors were filled.
 To correct this condition the Amer ican dealers organized and refused to buy from Japanese agents in this country. The trade was affected sev- eral months. but through the efforts of the Japanese ambassador at Wash ington and the American ambassador at Tokio. il was finally settled.
