Description
The First National Bank of Grand Junction closed/suspended on July 20, 1893, after failing to open its doors because it could not realize on securities and because of the suspension of Denver banks with which it had correspondent/accounts ties. Newspapers explicitly state deposits would not be lost and the bank would reopen when securities could be realized. Comptroller Eckels authorized the bank to reopen Aug 30, 1893 (reports Aug 31/Sep 1). Later receiver notices in 1902 indicate a separate, later failure; this episode analysis covers the 1893 suspension and subsequent reopening.

AFFAIRS OF BANKS. A Better Condition of Things Reported From the West. DENVER, Col., July 20.-There may be no more bank failures in Denver. The panic wore itself out yesterday with the failure of the People's, German, and State national banks. This morning when the First, Colorado, Denver, City and American national banks opened their doors there was hardly a dozen depositors in all of them at the paying tellers' windows. In the First and Colorado nationals a long string of depositors reaching nearly to the street were lined up in front of the receiving teller's windows and the money was going back into the bank vaults almost as rapidly as it was withdrawn during the past three days. The German. State, and People's nationals could pay $3 for $1 if they could realize on securities. There may be a few commercial failures in the city within the next few days as a result of the suspension of banks, but it is believed that in no instance, whether a banking or commercial house, will the failure be complete, and that resumption of business will surely follow shortly. It is stated today that the McNamara drv goods house which failed Monday for $260,000 have settled with their principal creditors and will resume business Mondav. The cheering news from Washington has had a wonderful effect upon Denver this morning. The dispatch from Controller of the Currency Eckels. to the effect that he would give every posssible aid to the banks of this city, is applauded on every side. Bank Examiner Adams, to whom the telegram was addressed, is besieged by excited people anxious to hear a confirmation of the good report and get an expression from him. Mr. Eckels comments on the foolish course of those Denver citizens who had lost confidence in the banks, are looked upon in a most righteous light. The newspapers are running off extras announcing the news and already things begin to wear a bright aspect. SAN BERNARDINO. CAL., July 20.-The national bank examiners who have been looking into the affairs of the First National Bank of this city have made a report to Controller Eckels, recommending that the bank be allowed to open at once. They state they found the affairs of the bank in good condition. PEORIA, ILL, July 20.-All fears of trouble at the banks as a consequence of the failure of Oberhauser's private bank Saturday have died away. Preparations have been made to stand any possible run, but none materialized. All the savings banks have now taken advantage of the sixty day notice clause governing withdrawals. Nashua, N. H., July 20.-The Security Trust Company closed its doors this morning. The bank has not met with losses. but stopped business on account of the withdrawal of deposits. The treasurer states that the bank will be able to pay all depositors in full. It has capital and surplus amounting to $250,000, which must be paid out before loss can come to the depositors. DENVER, CoL., July 20.-The First National Banks at Canon City and Grand Junction, this state, failed to open their doors this morning. It is probable the failures were caused by the suspension of the Denver banks. The New York Banks in Good Condition. NEW YORK, July 20.-Charles M. Preston, state bank examiner, was in this city yesterday. He spent most of the day in Wall street. calling upon a number of the bankers, with whom he discussed, informally, the condition of the banks in this city and state. "The banks of this state," he said, "generally are in good condition. anticipate no failures. The last report from those that come within my jurisdiction was on June 1, and the general average of the banks was sound at that time. Partial reports received since that time show no change. I do not think any of the banks need my attention. with the exception of the two or three which ceased to do business a month or 80 ago. So far as my examination goes, all the banks are abundantly secured, and the only possibility of trouble might come from a run at some particular time when there was 8 lack of ready cash. The banks are holding as much cash as possible. Depositors have no difficulty in getting their money when they want it. The bankers of this city are deserving of great praise for the promptness with which they sent money to Chicago when there were threats of a crash among the banks there. About $8,000,000 were sent and that action probably saved serious trouble in that city. Had the New York banks not done this a panic in Chicago might have occured."

Pa., July 20.-Sheriff Burnett. of Mercer, at the instance of attorney Ingersoll, of Cleveland, served writs of attachment on the Douglass Furnace Company, of Sharpsville, foreclosing judgments for $250,000 to-day. The failure is perhaps directly attributable to the recent assignment of Forsythe, Hyde & Co., of Chicago, by which firm the furnace has been operated. CANON CITY, Col., July 0.-When the hour for opening banks arrived this morning bassers-by were confronted with a notice on the doors of the First National Bank announcing that, owing to failures of Denver banks, it would have to suspend for a short time. CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 20.-The failure of the Kent Bank, this morning, precipitated & run on the other banks and this afternoon the First National Bank closed its doors.
