Description

Canal Street Bank (a state banking concern at 206 Canal St., NY) experienced heavy withdrawals and a crowd of depositors after the Shoe and Leather Bank refused to continue clearing for it. The board voted voluntary liquidation (closed doors, stated ability to pay depositors), the state examiner took charge and a receiver (also the president) was appointed. There were attempts to reorganize and raise capital, but the bank went into receivership and did not resume normal business in the immediate aftermath. OCR errors in some articles corrected (e.g., 'Shoe and Leather' = Shoe and Leather Bank).

The Clearing upon to take any action on the notice that was sent out by the National Shoe and Leather Bank that it would no longer clear for the Canal Street Bank. The notice did not create any material excitement in Wall-st. It was so small an institution that Wall-st. men were not much interested in it. as it was in no way thought to be affected by the condition of the stock market. William D. Van Vleck. the cashier of the Shoe and Leather Bank, said to a reporter yesterday; "The bank has been putting out a good deal of money lately. and on account of the stringency in the money market we decided to suspend clearing for the Canal Street Bank. We practically ceased representing that bank in the Clearing House to-day, but we will take all the checks that come in to-morrow."

FO CLOSE! ITS DOORS. THE CANAL STREET BANK OF THIS CITY WILL GO INTO LIQUIDATION. ITS PRESIDENT SAYS THE BANK IS SOLVENT AND DEPOSITORS WILL BE PAID IN FULL-BUSINESS NOT PROFITABLE. The Canal Street Bank. a State banking concern at No. 206 Canal-st. will close its doors today and go into liquidation. The immediate cause of the bank's trouble is the tight money market. which impelled the officers of the National Shoe and Leather Bank. its Clearing House representatives, to decline further to act in that capacity. Notices to this effect were sent out by the Shoe and Leather Bank yesterday afternoon. The officers of the Canal-st. institution were indignant when they learned of this. and a meeting of the directors was called to be held yesterday as soon after banking hours as possible. The bank's officials declare that none of the depositors will lose a penny, and that the stockholders will not lose more than 20 per cent. The bank was established in 1890, and did a fair business in the dry goods district until the recent stringency in the money market. The president is Antonio Rasines. Its depositors recently began to draw out their money. and the calls for funds from the banks with which it did business increased Its capital stock is $100,000. and the deposits averaged about $500,000. Yesterday the Canal Street Bank applied to the Shoe and Leather Bank for a loan of $50,000. offering as security paper representing in value several times that amount. The reply that the bank received was the announcement that the Shoe and Leather Bank had sent out circulars declaring that after to-day it would not act as its Clearing House agent any longer. It was at first the intention of the Canal Street Bank officials to secure another Clearing House agent and go on, and the meeting of the directors was called for this purpose. The board of directors is composed of the following: Simon Adler, P. Caponigri, Leon Cohen, Charles S. Freman, Vernon M. Davis, Albert 11. Frost. L. Forman Frechtman. Harvey W. Hall, S. Klingerstein, Antonio Rasines, Henry C. Miner, George Silva and Aquilino Zuricalday. Those present at the meeting were Antonio Rasines, president : Harvey W. Hall, Vernon M. Davis, A. 11. Frost, P. Caponigri and Charles W. Davton. who appeared as counsel. John M. Crane, president of the Shoe and Leather Bank, was also present. The meeting lasted two hours, and at its close the following resolution was 18sued: Wheteas, Although this bank is entirely solvent and able to pay the depositors in full, yet it appears that its business is unprofitable to its stockholders: therefore be it Resolved, That the Canal Street Bank go into liquidation." This must not be regarded as a suspension," said Mr. Rasines, We are able to pay dollar for dollar to our depositors, and have no need to suspend. But feeling that the business will not pay we voluntarily go into liquidation. Financially we are as solid as rocks. Now the liquidation has of course been brought about by the refusal of the Shoe and Leather Bank to clear for us. Of late the money market has been extremely stringent, our deposits decreasing and discounts increasing Whenever we were short of money the Shoe and Leather would clear for us. To-day we asked for an advance of $50,000, but they declined to let us have it, although our securities in stocks and bonds covered the amount of the loan tentoid. Why they should have taken this step it is difficult to see. The bank examiner will make an investigation into the circumstances. and in due course a trusted will be appointed. Whether we shall resume depends upon results, but it is certain that every depositor will be paid in full. In all probability when the at fairs of the bank are wound up the stockholders may lose 20 per cent. The last statement of the bank's financial condition was issued on March 13. It was issued to Charles M. Preston, the State Superintendent of Banks, who will probably be called in to make an examination. That statement was as follows: ASSETS. Loans and discounts less due from directors $454,659.08 13,133.18 Due from directors 2,422.32 Over drafts as per schedule Due from trust companies, State and national -6,735.05 banks €8.412.50 stocks and bonds as per schedule

LONG LIST OF FAILURES. I A Big Chicago Banking Concern Closes Its Doors-Runs on Other Banks. CHICAGO, June 5.-Meadowcraft Brothers & Co., private bankers, doing a commercial paper business, closed their doors this morning. The concern was one of the oldest in the city. Their assets and liabilities are not known. Lyman F. Crandall has been appointed receiver. PANIC AT CHICAGO. CHICAGO, June 5.-The State Bank of Commerce is experiencing a heavy run this afternoon. It started just before noon. Its annual report made to the state auditor on May 10, showed deposits of $1,200,000, surplus and undivided profits of $25,600, against which it had about $300,000 in cash, the balance being covered by loans and discounts, overdrafts and bonds. SANDUSKY BANK CLOSES. CLEVELAND, June 5.-The doors of the Sandusky Savings bank, which closed Saturday night upon what was generally supposed to be one of the soundest and safest institutions of the city, were not opened this morning, but displayed the following announcement: "Owing to inability to realize upon assets at this time, this bank has been compelled to assign. All depositors will be paid in full." Some heavy demands upon it during the closing days of last week, however, precipitated the crisis this time. KANSAS GRAIN COMPANY HAS FAILED. KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 5.-The Kansas Grain company, a big commission house with branches all over Kansas, has failed. RUN ON TWO MILWAUKEE BANKS.

almost antirely subsided, but rener came too late for the Citizens' National, which closed its doors at 2 o'clock. Other banks stood the strain with no visible signs of weakening, and since they have been strengthening themselves, the worst of the flurry is believed to be over. It is generally believed that there will be no more suspensions. The officers of the Citizens' National are E. B. Hyde, president; B. C. Van Houten, vice president; A. A. Newberry, cashier. Congressman John L. Wilson, was a heavy stockholder. Mr. Hyde said tonlight that this bank would pay every depositor in full, and that enough would remain to hold the stock at a premium. The deposits at the time of suspension were slightly in excess of $200,000. while against this the bank has more than $400,000 in bills receivable. The officers of the Washington National are Henry L. Tilton, president; A. M. Cannon, vice president; F. E. Goodall, cashier. Mr. Goodall said that they would pay everything in full, and that the bank's assets are largely in excess of its liabilities. Deflance, Ohio, June 6.-The doors of the Deflance Savings Bank were closed yesterday afternoon. just before the close of business. Many of the stockholders did not know that such a step was in contemplation. The bank is the youngest in town. The assets net less than $150,000, and the liabilities are stated at $100,000. The failure is attributed to large loans made by the bank, which ties up some $127,000, leaving them too narrow a working capital. Bedford, Ind., June 6.-The community was startled this morning when the Bedford Bank failed to open its : doors. President W. J. Stanley explained that in consequence of the rey cent heavy withdrawals of deposits, $ the bank would be forced to suspend 1 for a few days.

Curious Bank Failure Canard. NEW YORK, June 7.-President Rasines said that the action of the Shoe and Leather bank in refusing to clear for the Canal Street bank came about in a curious way.

Some one saw the crowd at the bank and sent word to the Shoe and Leather bank that there was a run on the Canal Street bank, hence the action of the Shoe and Leather bank. The bank expects to pay dollar for dollar.

A DEFICIENCY OF $25,000. THE CANAL STREET BANK'S STOCKHOLDERS MUST STAND THIS LOSS. The statement of the condition of the Canal Street Bank, which went into voluntary liquidation last Monday, was finished yesterday. The report shows a deficiency of $25,318 03, which means a loss of about 25 per cent to the stockholders. As the capital of the bank exceeds the deficiency, the depositors will lose nothing. The statement shows that the deficiency is due to the losses in the "past due" paper held by the bank and the depreciation in value of its stocks and bonds. The immediate cause of suspension was the refusal of the National Shoe and Leather Bank to act as clearing agent for the Canal Street Bank, and the inability of the Canal Street Bank to secure a new agent. The official statement is as follows:

This may be attributed to the fact that the bankers are preparing themselves for a continuation of last week's demand from the interior for currency, which, according to the best figures obtainable, reached nearly $13,000,000. Over $600,000 was exchanged at the Sub-Treasury yesterday for bills of smaller denomination to be shipped West, and some estimates placed the total movement at $2,000,000. This is about last week's daily average, and if kept up will cause an enormous drain on the surplus resources of the New-York banks. Many bankers were found yesterday, however, who do not believe that the movement will continue. think that the interior banks have been motives of caution for the money which they influenced These actual men need by rather have the funds called than they for. by They will, therefore, not find use for have accumulated, and as soon as the present alarmist symptoms have subsided this money will begin to flow back in large volume to the natural financial the New-York. of centre of country.

The reorganization plan of the National Cordage Company has been determined upon by the committee and has been approved by the principal stockholders and creditors, but there is likely to be some further delay in its publication. It cannot be made public, the committee says, until the receivers' report has been filed with Chancellor McGill. One of the receivers said yesterday that their report would not be given out until next week. The outline of the proposed reorgaization, however, as already published in The Tribune, is undoubtedly accurate in the main.

BUSINESS TROUBLES EAST AND WEST. THREE BOSTON FIRMS PETITIONED INTO INSOLVENCY-BIG MORTGAGES EXECUTED BY THE DE PAUWS. Boston, Oct. 24.-The National City Bank of Boston has petitioned into insolvency the firms of Creesey & Noyes, Andrew F. Leatherbee & Co., and William H. Leatherbee & Son. All three firms were interested in the affairs of the Little Kanawha Lumber Company, which in June went into the hands of receivers. As a result of this receivership the three concerns assigned: Providence, R. I., Oct. 24.-The Italian banking house of Tommaso Conti & Co. is in trouble. There was recently a run on the firm by laborers who wanted to go to other cities, and the suspension of the Canal Street Bank, in New-York, where the firm kept its accounts, made it necessary to stop payments. Sixty per cent of the deposits have already been paid, and notes to cover the rest have been given. Concord, N. H., Oct. 24.-The Wolfeboro Savings Bank, of Wolfeboro, one of the oldest financial institutions in the State, was yesterday enjoined from doing business by Bank Commissioner Baker. The injunction, which was issued by Judge Smith, of the Supreme Court, was made necessary by the large number of notices of withdrawal of funds filed by depositors. Louisville, Oct. 24.-There were placed on record here to-day mortgages in favor of creditors, amounting in the case of N. T. Depauw and the Depauw Plate Glass Company, of New-Albany, Ind., to $250,000, and in the case of the W. C. Depauw Company to $379,000, thus tying up the whole of the Depauw estate. rated three years ago to be worth a round $4,000,000. San Francisco, Oct. 24.-Sheriff McDade yesterday levied another attachment on B. Feighbaum & Co., toy merchants. The attachment was made by Schafer Brothers, who allege that the defendants owe them $17,300 on promissory notes executed on October 2. Most of the indebtedness of the firm is to local creditors.
