bankers were greatly amazed on learn
ing of this most unusual condition Of
banking. especially when II was found
that but for the connection of the at
fairs OF the First National bank with
the Liverpool firm the bank did not
need any assistance.
Mr.. Green also said that the Ameri-
can and the Citizens and Peoples Ma
tional banks were both prepared to
extend assistance to the First National
to reasonable extent. but the large
extent OF the First National banks la
bilities on the foreign bills of ex-
change was too extensive to warrant
this.
AT the close OF business Wednesday
the First National bank had on hand
an early payment made on account to
the depositors and Mr.. Green express
ed the opinion that with proper ham
ding OF the banks collaterals the de-
positors should soon receive substan-
tial further payments
Mr.. Green added that neither OF the
other banks In this city ever assume
the liabilities described above and nei-
in any foreign firms and that but for
the unfortunate foreign connections OF
the First National bank, local condi-
tions were solid and improving. The
late failure of the state bank caused
the other banks to greatly further
strengthen their resources and both the
other banks now show very strong po-
sitions.

THE kEYSER DRAFTS.

Liverpool timber brokers, mentioned
above and amounting to more than q
half million dollars were drawn by
the Keyser- Muldon Co.'S allied firms,
and the bank holds numerous of the
timber stocks and other properties OF
those firms as securities.
When notified that the Liverpo%S
firm could not meet these drafts, Vice
President VIM. Fl. Knowles left for
New York, where he will arrive this
morning TO make arrangements for
taking care of them and IL was be-
heved that he would have little trouble

PENSAcOLA'S OLDEST BANK.
The First National was Pensacola.s
Oldest banking Institution. II was or
ganized In 1880 with D. F. Sullivan as
president, Louis p. Knowles, vice.
president and w. A. S. Wheeler cash
Ter. Its capital stock was $4,000 and
deposits at the end of its first year
aggregated about the same amount
At that time the private bank of f. c.
Brent. & Co. was also in operation In
Pensacola and in 1892 the two banks
were merged with a capital stock of
100000 and with F. c. Brent as presi-
dent, which position he held until
January of 1905, when he retired from
active business and was succeeded as
head Of the institution by VIM. H
Knowles, who, for many years had
been vice president 1t was during the
period that Mr.. Knowles was head of
the bank that the handsome and costly
home now occupied was erected. It
was completed early in 1908 and a
year afterwards Mr.. Knowles retired
from the presidency and was succeeded
by w. K. Hyer. Jr., who had been
identified with the bank as assistant
cashier. cashier and vice president for
- y
ital stock was now $500, 10000.
Mr. Hyer's management of the bank
did not meet with the approval of
the comptroller of the currency and
after a year, during which some very
large loans were made, the bank was
re-organized, and Mr.. Hyer deposed as
president.
Messrs. Brent and Knowles again as
sumed charge of the business OF the
bank, but Mr.. Brent, while president.
was not the active head, his Ill health
preventing him from participating to
any extent In its mana cement. and Mr..
Knowles was the managing head.
While these two f1nanciers put a great
deal OF money into It and apparently
placed the bank again on It's feet,
much outstanding paper could not be
realized upon and 1t became necessary
a year ago to divert its surplus so as
to conform to the national banking
laws.
At the time OF the suspension the
officers were: F. c. Brent. president;
