Response Measures

Accommodated withdrawals, Full suspension

Description

The bank experienced a discrete run on May 21, 1866 that subsided same day. Later the institution suspended in June 1877 and applied for a receiver; it did not resume normal operations and was wound up (receivership and later dividends/claims). I classify the overall episode as run_suspension_closure because the bank had both a run (1866) and later suspension that resulted in permanent closure/receivership. Significant sources: Wheeling Daily Intelligencer (1866) for the run; New Orleans Daily Democrat (1877) and other contemporaneous papers for the suspension/receiver application. No evidence the 1866 run directly caused the 1877 suspension.

ST. LOUIS. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. THE STRONG BANKS DETERMINED TO RESUME. ST. Louis, Oct. 14.-There is a growing feeling of indiguation here against the banks that are opposed to speedy resumption. A very considerable number will not resume currency paymont on the first of November if they can avoid it. The stronger institutions are angry at the delay, and, if it is prolonged boyond the stipulated time, will establish a now Clearing-House, and return to the good old way of doing businoss by thomselves. Such a course would undoubtedly do the work for the weak institutions, which are growing weaker daily by a steady drain of currency, and by the tendonoy of customers to transfer their patronage to institutions they are sure of. It is further doubtful if persons having dealings with the banks will submit much longor to a palpable violation of tho law under which they were organized. The limit of forboarance is being rapidly approached. The officors of the sound institutions say that they are disgusted at the situation, and ashamed of St. Louis, which is one of the wealthiest cities in the country, and has always boasted of its safe and conservative modo of doing business. The feeling is intensified by the fact that this city is now the only one in the West not doing its banking business on & currency basis. The flouring mills are running again, but shipmonts of flour alone are not enough to throw the balance of exchange in our favor. Other kinds of produce must move. St. Louis morchants are mortified to learn that Chicago is sending grain East in about the usual amounts. They know perfectly well that if this state of things continues much longer millions of bushols will BOOK your active city instead of waiting for the movements of alow St. Louis. Currency and Eastern exchange are becoming more objoots of speculation. Somo banks of St. Louis are even sonding currency to Chicago to procure I oxchange for thoir customers. The continued suspension of the banks is merely A MATTER OF ACCOMMODATION to perhaps a dozon weak institutions. some of which will have to succumb in any event before many weeks have passo:1. The reasons of their weakness are various. Most of them have paid intorests on doposits during the season when $ their funds were least in use; others have had too largo a country business; all of them have on hand too large an amount of uncertain paper; a few have speculated in county, bridge, and tunnel liabilities. BANKS THAT ARE ABLE TO RESUME. The liet of the banks that are thought ablo to resume currency payment at any momont is as follows: Bank of Commerce, Butchers' and Drovers', Capital, Commercial, Bank of St. Louis, Exchange Bank of St. Louis, First National Bank, Third National Bank, Fourth National Bank, German National Bank, Iron Mountain National Bank, Lucas' Bank, Mechanics' Bank, Merchants' National, National Bank of Missouri, Continental, St. Louis National, and the following savings banks: Boatmen's, St. Lonis, Oltizens', German, Guardian, Hibernia, Mulleuphy, Provident, Real Estato, State Savings, and Union Say: ings. A fow more might perhaps bo added to each list. If a now Clearing-flouse is formed, it will includo most of these. 3 A RUMOR OF FAILURES. It is privately reported that moveral banks 3 whose names have not been made public have failed to meet their balances at the Clearing1 House, and have only been able to go on by 7 the courtesy of other banking institutions, which 3 accepted their individual liabilities. The St. . Louis have treated the banks with b groat consideration, newspapers but, in little their too efforts indulgent to pro- for vent a panic, have been a the general good of the community. Vigorous spoaking and writing are wanted.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ST. LOUIS. [Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.] ST. LOUIS, June 19.-The First National Bank of the State of Missouri announces to-night, through an advertisement that will appear in to-morrow morning's papers, that it has closed its doors on account of the stringency of the times, and that application has been made by telegraph to the Controller of the Currency for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the assets. The only reason given for its suspension is its alleged inability to make money, on account of which a liquidation is thought best for all parties concerned. The bank has for a long time been considered almost the wealthiest in St. Louis, the capital stock being $2,000,000 and the deposits large. It was the depositary for United States funds in St. Louis, and had the reputation of being exceedingly cautious and safe in its business transactions. The doors were opened during regular banking hours to-day, and business was carried on as usual, there being no intimation of an intended suspension. The event will undoubtedly create a great sensation in commercial and financial circles here, and there is a feeling among those who have heard of it tonight that other smaller banking concerns will follow. The president of the bank is James H. Britton, one of the stanchest citizens of St. Louis. It is recollected now that certain holders of stock in the concern have been crowding the market for the last few days with their stock, but this circumstance excited no suspicion at the time. It is thought that depositors will be paid, but this is a mere opinion, and the actual probabilities are that an exhibit will show a discouraging prospect for all parties concerned. Officers of the bank, in answer to inquiries, state to-night that the deposits amount to $2,250,000, and that the assets are ample to meet them. Twentyfive per cent will be paid at once, twenty-five per cent in thirty days, and the remainder within six months. The United States Governmentis a depositor to the extent of $100,000, and the city of St. Louis $245,000. Secured security bonds said to be questionable. It is stated upon good authority that the suspension of the bank is due to bad securities taken to a large amount quite recently. [NOTE.-Specials to the DEMOCRAT have stated that the bank was sound, and suspended simply because there was no immediate prospect of a profitable business.]

Four were executed at Mauch Chunk, viz.: Alexander Campbell and John Donohue, for the murder of Morgan Powell, a mine boss, at Summit Hill: and Edward Kelley and Michael Doyle, for the murder of John P. Jones, of Lansford, also a mine boss. Anthony Lanahan was hanged at Wilkesbarre for the murder of John Reilly. All the culprits died bravely, the most of them protesting their innocence to the last.

Since the recent executions in Pennsylvania, several deeds of violence have occurred, including cold-blooded are traceable to the directly two murders, Mollie Maguires. that almost Two witnesses in the late trials have also mysteriously disappeared, a number of persons have received coffin notices, and the law-abiding citizens of the anthracite region are greatly agitated by rumors that the friends of the executed Mollies are plotting for revenge.

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad has taken the contract for the removal of the war munitions-consisting of 400 car-loads, or 50,000,000 pounds-from the St. Louis Arsenal to Rock Island. Financial circles in St. Louis were somewhat startled, the other day, by the announcement of the suspension of the First National Bank of that city, bitherto classed as "A No. 1 among the financial institutions of the city. It is stated that depositors will lose nothing. News comes by way of San Francisco of a formidable uprising of Indians in the region of Salmon river, Idaho Territory, the massacre of many white families, the gathering of the white settlers and friendly Indians for defense, followed by severe fighting, in which, according to the latest accounts, the latter were getting badly worsted. The dispatches state that " there is a general uprising of the savages, and the whole country is wild with alarm. The Indians are massacring men, women and children in Camas Prairie, and settlers are fleeing in all directions for safety." The hostile savages belong to a tribe known as Nez Perces, and are said to number 2,000 effective warriors. Gen. McDowell, commanding the Division of the Pacific, has ordered troops from a number of posts in the department to go to the scene of trouble. The feeling among the Jewish citizens of Cincinnati over the Seligman affair has found expression in the refusal of every Jewish house in the city to deal with an agent of the house of A. T. Stewart & Co. A number of firms, some of whom had dealt with that house for many years, to the extent of over $100,000 a year, canceled orders on their books and ordered elsewhere. The first reports of the Indian outbreak in Idaho Territory were not exaggerated. About thirty citizens were murdered on Camas prairie 'and that vicinity. The Indians, numbering from 1.000 to 1,500, are not of the lowest class of hostiles. The trouble with them is said to be the result of an attempt of the Government to put the Joseph band of Nez Perces on reservation. To this they had consented, when one of their number was inexcusably shot by a white man, and all endeavors to secure the punishment of the murderer failed. On Salmon river every white man was killed, but the women and children were spared. There has been some fighting between the savages and the white soldiers sent against them, resulting, according to the advices before at this writing, disastrously to the whites, about fifty of whom have been killed nd wounded, Dispatches from Boise City, Idaho, dated June 22, says: The situation in Northern Idaho far exceeds in gravity any Indian outbreak of our day, and it will tax the best resources of the Government and of the people immediately interested to subdue the Indians and restore peace to the country. At State creek the whites have fortified themselves in

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Rudolph Hatfield and Robert Lawrence, two Wichita capitalists,have been here for a day or two. They are en route to New York to consult with investors in the interest of their sec. tion of Kansas. Major Towers and other Kansas City parties are here looking after the pleuropneumonia bill, which is now before Representative Hatch's committee, and which provides for a pneumonia commission. Ex Governor Brockmeyer, of St. Louis, one of the attorneys for the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, has been in consultation with Representative Clardy, chairman of the cominittee on commerce, endeavoring to obtain more favorable legislation under the interstate commerce commission for the railroads as against the steamboat interests. Colonel Grif Prather is largely identified with the latter in St. Louis, and he. it is alleged, was instrumental in defeating Representative Clardy's friend, Jasper Burks, for marshal in eastern Missouri. The ex-governor thinks it would be a good time for the congressman to even up with his antagonist, who is in the steamboat business. William S. Williams and Lon V. Ste phens, of Boonville. Missouri, are here. The latter is the receiver for the defunct First National bank. of St. Louis, and comes here with checks for $500,000. which he has realized on the assets of the broken bank up to date. When the comptroller of the treasury signs these checks, a dividend of 50 per cent. will be paid the depositors. Mr. Stephens has made a remarkable officer in his present position, and expects to realize the full amount due depositors. He will ask the comptroller to hold the owners of $200,000 in new stock in the new bank liable for losses, and expects to be sustained. The World says: "Mrs. Ingalls, the acting vice-president's wife, has a train toilet of black velvet. which is combined with a rich orange plush and is veiled with black thread lace. Mrs. Ingalls is very fine looking and her dress is cut high. though she has, I doubt not. beautiful shoulders. Mrs. Senator Cockrell dresses very well, and her queenly form looks regal in white lace and silk. Mrs Senator Stewart has some elegant costumes and Mrs. Carlisle has a most gorgeous dress of blue satin and a brocaded petticoat lined with rose pink. Her corsage is trimmed with point lace, and she vies with Mrs. Cockrell as one of the stately women of Washington.' Representative Perkins, of Kansas is rapidly coming to the front as a legislator. He said in an interview: "I understand the ways and means committee is endeavoring to harmonize on a tariff bill, but whether the Democrats will agree with the Republicans on the committee I am unable to say. In fact. I doubt if any one in the house can give any definite idea of the measure that will be presented to the house for consideration. I don't believe anyone can define the position of the Democracy on the tariff, and, I may say, on any national question. The Republican policy is that of protection and any substitute that the minority of the ways and means may offer will adhere strictly to the principle of protection. Among some of the features of the substitute will be free sugar, free tobacco, free school for the use of the arts and sciences, and possibly free salt and lumber. We will favor a bounty to the sugar planters, which will have the effect to stimulate that industry." Mr. Perkins is of the opinion that while the country will hold the Democratic party responsible for any and all tariff legislation each member will have to answer to his constituents for his individual vote on the tariff bill.

COMPTROLLER ORDERS DIVIDEND DECLARED. Ex-Governor Stephens; Receiver OF First National Bank, Authorized to Make Settlement. Ex-Comptroller of the Currency Dawes re cently declared a small dividend in the winding up of the affairs of the First Na. tional Bank of this city, of which ex-Governor Lon V. Stephens was receiver. and authorized the receiver to make final settlement. The dividend is six-tenths of 1 pes cent. Various examinations and investigations have been made by the Comptroller. and he has satisfied himself. it is said, that certain charges were groundless.

BRANCH BANKS ISSUE UP. U. S. Supreme Court to Decide on Right to Establish. The right of national banks to as tablish branches will be determined by the United States Supreme Court in a case brought by the First National Bank of St. Louis to set aside a prohibition decision of the Missouri state courts. The case today was advanced for argument April 30, and the bank was granted a stay of the order of the state courts which prohibited the operation of a branch which the bank already had established. The court refused. however, to suspend other features of the state courts' decision.

These plan were to authorize branch bank man agers to make loans under $500 and to telephone or communicate other wise with the main bank for author tv to make larger loans. Neighbor hood banks contested the plan. in voking the Missouri banking laws against the operation of such branches. The First National con. tended that the state laws did not apply to the operation of national banks. The matter was carried to the United States Supreme Court. where the decision of a majority was adverse to the First National Bank's position. Chief Justice Taft and Justice Van Devanter, in a minority opinion. held that national banks were not subject to such state laws. A rehear ing of the case was denied by the Supreme Court and the First National has since been arranging to close the bank.
