Description

Multiple articles describe an incipient/actual run on Denver Savings Bank in July 1893 (bank invoking 30/60-day notification and limiting payouts), the bank assigning/going to assignee and announcing liquidation on Sept 1, 1893, and then resuming business January 2, 1894. Cause of initial runs and suspension is the broader money-stringency/depression and loss of correspondent support after recent political/financial events, not a discrete false rumor. OCR errors in some articles corrected (e.g., 'DENVER BAZKS' -> 'DENVER BANKS').

DENVER BAZKS CLOSED. Three Savings Institutions Fail to Open Their Doors. Denver, Col., July 17.-The People's Savings, the Rocky Mountain Dime and Dollar, and the Colorado Savings bank failed to open their doors for business this morning. The Assets of the People's Savings bank are$$, and the liabilities $1,350,000. President Lawrence, of the Peoples National bank, says the failure of the savings institution will in no way affect the Peoples National bank. It is understood that all the assignments were preconcerted and for selfprotection and for the protection of the depositors. The direct cause of the failures is the universal hard times and inability to realize on securities. The president of each bank declares that each depositor will be paid in full and that the institutions will resume again. A run on the Denver Savings Bank is impending. The bank is taking advantage of the thirty and sixty days notification law and is paying out no amounts over $25. CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. President Lawrence of the Peoples' Savings Bank in a statement this morning said the bank up to six weeks ago had a most successful career, having in deposits $1,300,000 and had paid to its depositors in interest $112,482. A causeless run began on May 1, and really continued up to last Saturday night, when the entire available means of the bank were exhausted and nothing was left but to assign. The officers of the institution pledged their estates to its support, but because of the feeling that has been engendered among eastern banks and financial institutions by the recently published expressions and demonstrations that have been heralded from Colorado, a thirty days note for $100,000 signed by Colorado parties worth $4,000,000, to raise immediate money, was not worth the paper it was written on. PROMISED HELP WITHHELD. 'Most persistent efforts were made to obtain temporary assistance to tide the bank over and up to four days ago this necessary assistance was promised by eastern corresponding banks. but since the doings of the recent silver convention in this city became known, the promises were canceled by telegraph and no alternative was left us, with notices amounting to nearly $500,000 for withdrawals of deposits maturing within the near future staring us in face, and the cash on hand paid down to $223, but to make a full assignment for the protection and benefit of all. The failure in the Savings Bank will in no way effect the People's National Bank, which with all the other national banks are perfectly sound and anticipate no trouble outside of the Savings Bank."

Three Bad Failures at Denver and Two at Kansas City During the Day. Henry Clews Gives Comptroller Eckles Some Interesting Suggestions As to How a Sound as Well as Elastic Currency Might Be Established. DENVER. July 18.-Commercial circles are greatly excited over the failure of three banks in this city during the day. The banks constituting the triple failure are the Colorado Savings bank, the People's Savings bank and the Rocky Mountain Dime and Dollar Savings bank. An estimate of the total assets are $1,500,000 and liabilities are placed at nearly that amount. Charles H. Blakeney was made assignee of the Rocky Mountain Dime and Dollar Savings bank. It is understood that all the assignments were preconcerted and were done for self protection and for the protection of depositors. The direct cause of the failures was the stringency of the money market and inability to realize on securities. The president of each bank declares that each depositor will be paid in full, and that the institutions will resume again. An incipient run has been started on the Denver Savings bank. The bank is taking advantage of the 30 and 60 days notification provision, and is paying out no checks or drafts for more than $20 each.

This bank closed by order of the! board of drectors. Those inside were forced into the street with curses on their lips, while those outside raved about the doors. attracting a crowd that extended far down the thoroughfare. People began to ask when would it all end, when they learned that the Mercantile Bank. recently incorporated with a capital stock of $100,000. and located in the Mining Exchange Building, had closed its doors, with W. F. Robinson as assignee. C. E. Gard, the present city auditor. is the president of the bank, and the directors of the concern were considered as being among Denver's most substantial business men. The suspension of payment here was brought about by the closing of the Union National Bank, through which the Mercantile had made clearances. It was stated that the bank's depositors will receive every dollar due them. This bank had been in operation only a few months and had comparatively few depositors. RUNS ON THE OTHER BANKS. At the Colorado National there was no run at all. The City National officials an. nounced after the run that they had paid out about $30,000 more than what had come in., At the same hour, nearly. the run was stopped at the First National. The officials said not more than $10,000 was paid out above receipts. At the State National all those standing in line were inside the doors at o'clook. and it was estimated that $100,000 had been paid out. The run was practically broken at 2 o'clock. At the German National there Was a long line reaching far out on the sidewalk, but not a business man was seen in the line. At 2:15 the crowd was still in line. but many were tiring and droppingout. About $70.000 had been paid ent, mostly in small amounts. The run was still on at 3 P. M., the regular closing hour. A run was re. ported on the Deaver National, but 16 proved a mistake. The crowd was composed of the Union Pacific employes and others from the Grant smelter with their checks. There was no run. The City National Bank met all demands and exPresident Barth said if the depositors wanted to keep the run up for the next two months, the bank would still be meeting demands on presentation. At the Denver Savings Bank, the only savings bank now open. there was a run in the morning which was over by noon. It refused to pay out, taking advantage of the time loan limit. The excitement and demand on the banks after money continued unabated until about 2 o'clock, when it almost entirely ubaided at all the banks except the Utab State National and the German National. where the line of depositors seemed to increase instead of diminish. This bank is said to have a special train on the way from Kansas City bearing $490,000
