BANK SUSPENSIONS
IN 1881 ANALYZED
Average Size Of Closed Institutions
Was Larger Than in Pre-
vious Ten Years.

BY the Associated Press.
Bank suspensions during 1881 showed
an enlarged entry into the field of the
larger institutions.
The average size of banks that closed
their doors last year was larger than
in any Of the previous 10 years, 23.7
per cent of the banks that suspended
having had capital stock of 100000
or more, compared with 1873 per cent
in 1880 and with 81 per cent during tho
nine-year period 1929.
The increase in the average size of
banks that suspended last year was due
chiefly, the Reserve Board said, to the
fact that relatively larger number OF
suspensions was in the larger towns and
cities.
Percentage of bank suspensions, ac-
cording to capital and by population,
are shown as follows:
