Allen in talk ing over it's affairs. Although 1t was the fifth institution Of it's kind in this city to be closed by the commission CT in the past five months, the sus- pension had no noticeable effect among other banks of Me city by which it was regarded as an inde- pendent. ..f,
 The posting of a notice after bank ing hours yesterday had discounted the closing of today and only a few depoAtors and others passed through the police lines in front of the bank ofnces in Scollay Square to scan the brief statement.
