COMMERCE REOPENS.
Kansas City's Big Bank Is Once More
Doing Business.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 30.-The
reorganized National Bank of Com
merce with William B. Ridgely, for
mer comptroller of the currency as it's
president, reopened this morning.
Faith in this. one of the largest
banking institutions in the country,
was evidenced by the fact that long
before the receiving teller's windows
awaiting an opportunity to deposit
their money.
President Ridgely, Edward Ridgely,
cashier, and George T. Cults, the new
ly elected vice president, together
with the other officials were on hand
early and were the recipients of many
congratulations.
The bank for the time yill occupy
temporary quarters until their million
dollar building at Tenth and Walnut
streets has been completed. This will
be within another month.
President Ridgely, in statement to
the Associated Press. made after the
bank opened this morning, said:
1.-THE National Bank of Commerce
of Kansas City opened this morning
under the most favorable auspices with
a capital of two million dollars, surplus
two hundred thousand dollars. assets
all clean, liquidated and unimpaired.
t'This has been brought about by
the payment into the bank by the old
shareholders and those interested in
the reorganization of the bank the
| sum of $2,S70,OOO, removing question
able assets and putting the bank in
an absolutely sound condition.
"The response on the part of tn e
public this morning has strikingly con-
firmed what has been said in regard to
the sentiment in favor of reopening
the bank. Before the tellers' windows
were opened crowds were standing in
line eager to make the first deposits.
There seemed to be little disposition
on the part of any one to make with
drawals. Large remittances were re-
ceived from almost every one Of the
old customers of the bank and hun
dreds of letters and kilograms were
| sent to the officials assuring hearty
