Description
Multiple contemporaneous dispatches (dated July 19–20, 1893) report the Bank of Sterling 'assigned' or 'suspended' (assignment = failure/receivership). There is no specific description of a depositor run on this particular bank in the clippings; causes cited in the coverage point to general financial stringency/panic in July 1893, so I classify the cause as macro_news. I include both a suspension and a receivership event (assignment) on July 19, 1893.

BANKS CONTINUE TO CLOSE. Hutchinson. Kan., July 19.-Owing to financial stringency, making it impossible to secure currency sufficient to meet its demands, the Hutchinson National Bank did not open its doors this morning, but posted notice of suspension of payment. The assets are $251,000, and the liabilities $131,000. The bank was in good condition and under ordinary pressure would not have experienced any difficulty. It is the first bank failure in the history of the city. There is no doubt that depositors will be paid in full.

COLORADO'S BANKS. More Suspensions Announced, but the Panic Has Apparently Subsided. DENVER, July 20.-The - J. B. Wheeler Banking company, Pioneer bank of Aspen, Bank of Sterling, Sterling. and the Bank of Loveland, have assigned. No statements of assets or liabilities have been issued. J. A. Thacher, president of the Denver National bank and also of the clearing house, said last evening that he anticipated no more bank failures. Those that kept open passed through the clearing house in good shape and showed that they were in excellent condition for the future. An examination of the affairs of the closed banks has been made, and to the credit of their officers it can be said that in no instance has there been found the slightest dishonesty or crooked work. The bank panic has apparently ceased. The run on the national banks had entirely subsided by noon, and at the closing hour there was not a half a dozen people in or around any of these institutions, and the streets had ueserted appearance. The weak bank have all been closed, and there can be but little doubt of the soundness of the five that withstood the storm of yesterday.

ANOTHER DAY OF PANIC. Many Denver Business Firms Go Down In the Crash. THINK THE BANK RUNS ARE OVER. Now Six National Banks of Denver Are Closed, but All Claim That They Will Resume-The Situation In Kansas a Lit. tle Better-Results Are Far Reaching. DENVER. July 20.-The timorous feeling among depositors in the Denver banks, which has resulted in closing a number of these institutions this week, seems at last to have reached its limit, and the people are now stopping to think, with the result that more money is being deposited than is withdrawn. The German, State and People's national banks closed their doors in order to forestall the heavy demands that it was evident would be made. As soon as the action had been taken, depositors in other banks seemed to take new courage, and during the day the talk on the streets was much more conservative and rational. The fivenational banks that are still open for business showed no signs of any unusual excitement among their patrons. Indeed, their banking houses were quieter than on many days during ordinary times, and everybody seems to feel that the end of the unjustifiable excitement has been reached. The run which was started on the First National bank was completely broken, and quiet was restored. The run was caused principally by those who were near at hand when notices declaring the suspension of the German and State National were posted. These people at once became panic stricken, although the remarkably strong condition of the First National is a matter of common knowledge. Around the Denver National, Colorado National, American National and City National banks all was quiet. There were very few calls for money, and a few of those who had withdrawn their money from the suspended banks were depositing in the banks that yet remained open. Among the officers of the banks which were open for business the expression was unanimous that the flurry was at an end, and that the people would now see the folly of their action in forcing a suspension of the banking institutions by all withdrawing their deposits at once and taking from circulation all the money that would ordinarily flow through the regular channels and help in sustaining the business public and the banks. The suspended banks all had much more than enough money to be considered a perfectly safe guaranty in ordinary circumstances and with business at its normal condition would have laughed at the idea of run. Business Firms Go Down. The Tucker Shirt and Furnishing company, Sixteenth street, assigned to Charles H. Burpie. Assets. $35,000, and liabilities $13,000. The Hallack-Sayre Newton Lumber company assigned to Frederick F. Sayre as a result of the closing of the State National bank. The Blake Lumber company assigned to Emmet B. Annis. The Palace drug store, Sixteenth and Curtis streets, made an assignment to F. F. Sayre. J. H. Naylor. a furniture dealer on Fifteenth street, assigned to Simon T.

DENVER, Col., July The panic was in in this city to-day with renewed vigor and as the result the Old German National with a reputation for stability of 20 years standing and the equally reputable State National failed to open their doors for business this morning. Later the People's National failed. All night long depositors stood in line in front of the German and by 9 o'clock there was one long soa of faces stretching down the streets. At the opposite corner, where the State has long done business, there was crowd of anxious depositors also quite awaiting the opening of the doors. Here the people were relieved of their agony at FL few minutes after 9 o'clock, when B notice was posted on the door that the bank would not open, owing to a lack of ready cash and the crowd moved away. At the German a slip of paper was posted on the windows stating that the doors would remain closed temporarily. Then the women down the long line broke out in tears and wailing. By this time there was a run on every bank in the city and soon came the announcement that the People's National bank had closed its doors. The notice on the doors read. "This bank closed by order of the board of directors. Net assets, $1,100,000; liabilities, $310,000." President McNeill of the State bank says his bank has Daid out in cash a trifla more than $900,000 within the last 30 days. He evidently tried to call in his loans in order to keep the doors open, but it proved to be an impossibility. In concluding a long talk, he said: "Our assets are fully twice as large as our liabilities." Charles M. Clinton, cashier of the German National, stated that the exceedingly hard times and inability to place securities, together with the failure to call in loans, had forced them to close their doors. During the last 60 days, he said, there has been a constant drain on the bank and over $1,000,000 had been paid to depositors. The bank expected $800,000 from the east this morning, but it failed to arrive and as we had paid out nearly all our money during yesterday's run we were forced to close. The officers expect it to rosume in time, as its assets are greatly in excess of the liabilities. The statement of the People's National published on the 12th showed that they had less than $60,000 in cash on hand, while the individual deposits subject to check, not counting any other, amounted to $210,000. The capital stock of the bank is $600,000. Later in the day Tucker & Co., dealers in gentlemen's furnishings and the Peoples' company, made assignmenta. This afternoon the run at the Denver National was over, with an enormous amount of money still in sight. The same is true at the city and all the other banks, and business men are breathing freely. At the closing hour there were not half a dozen people in or around any of the national banks here. The weak banks have all been closed and there can be but little doubt of the soundness of the five that withstood the storm of yesterday and to-day. D. A. Thatcher, president of the Denver National and also of the clearing house, this evening said that he anticipated no more bank failures. Those that kept open passed through the clearing house in good shape and showed that the were in excellent condition for the future. An examination of the affairs of the closed banks has been made and in no instance has there been found the slightest dishonesty or crooked work. "I am confident," said Mr. Thatcher, "that if the financial condition of the country brightens a little. they will all resume and every depositor will be paid dollar for dollar." The J. B. Wheeling Banking company of Aspen, Col., Bank of Sterling, Sterling, Col., and the Bank of Loveland, Col., have assigned. No statements have been issued. Two National Bank, Close Doors.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK. The Country Passing Through an Extraordinary Strain. Record of Bank Failures in Kansas and Colorado-A Milwaukee Bank Closes -Big Mills and Factories Ceasing Operations. WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW. NEW YORK, July 22.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "This week the country has withstood surprisingly well an extraordinary strain. The failure of many banks and firms have come despite the relaxation in eastern and in some southern and western money markets. Denver banks were overthrown largely by the crazy actions of the people, but in most cities statements show the banks in a healthy condition, and there has since been noticed more readiness to extend accommodation. Under all the conditions it is astonishing that business has been so well maintained with so little evidence of unsoundness. "The stagnation in iron has closed some mag. netite mines in this state and New Jersey and most of the mines in Michigan. Coke is moving downward, pig iron is inactive, and though dealings in bar and structural projects are somewhat larger prices are the lowest ever known. "Wheat has fallen 2 cents, corn 1 cent. Pork products and oil are lower. In place of the expected advance in sugar a decline has come and cotton, after some advance, recedes again. Western receipts of wheat are moderate and exports fairly large, but unprecedented stocks press for sale. The stock market closed last week hopefully, but by Wednesday had reached the lowest average of prices since 1884. London and short sellers then bought and some recovery has followed. "At Philadelphia banks are holding currency and strengthening themselves. An easier feeling prevails at Pittsburgh in ircn. The Cincinnati money market is easier and Cleveland reports grocery trade good, but iron wholly inactive. Toronto notes better feeling. Indianapolis no improvement but banks in strong position, and Detroit a quiet business with the outlook not very cheerful "At Milwaukee the closing of some manufactures and reduction of wages in others and the failure of the great iron syndicate are noticed. At St. Paul trade is restricted; at Minneapolis lumber sales are reduced and sales of flour below the output Omaha trade is good and St. Joseph fair. Receipts of cattle light at Kansas City. Denver trade is demoralized, but now more hopeful, and many reported assignments are regarded as a measure of protection. St. Louis reports business good. in volume and character. but trade checked by closeness of money, banks fortifying themselves. "The treasury has been paying gold to the banks, but on the whole increasing its holdings. Exports of products are a little larger than a year ago, but imports a so large. "The failures during the past week number 467 in the United States, against 168 last year, and twenty-five in Canada against nineteen, two of the failures exceeding $500,000 and 101 others exceeding $5,000 each. Last week the failures in the United States numbered 374." KANSAS BANK FAILURES. TOPEKA, Kan., July 2.-During the past week the following banks in the state have closed their doors: Bank of Johnson City, Bank of Weir City, Caney Valley bank of Caney. Bank of Meade, Meade county, First national of Fort Scott, Citizens' bank of Kansas City, Bank of Richmond, Farmers' and Merchants' bank of Ossawattomie, Citizens' of Armourdale, First national of Anthony, Bank of Belleville and the Hutchinson national of Hutchinson. -COLORADO BANKS. DENVER, Col., July 22.-Seven banks in this city suspended during the past week. Throughout the state suspensions were reported as follows: The Bank of Sterling, the Bank of Loveland, First national and Union at Greeley, National at Grand Junction, First national at Canyon City and the Bank of Crested Butte. A MILWAUKEE BANK ASSIGNS. MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 22.-The Commercial bank has made a voluntary assignment. The assignee named in the papers filed is A. B. Geilfuss, the cashier of the bank, and his bond is placed at $1,700,000. The entire fund of Milwaukee county, amounting to $310,624, was deposited in the Commercial bank. Another big depositor was the newly-organized Milwaukee Electric Railway company, to the extent of $200,000. The last statement of the bank showed demand deposits amounting to $557,748 and time deposits $528,919. The bank had a capital of $250,000. The liabilities of the bank® are estimated at about $1,500,000 and the assets at about $1,700,000. BIG MILLS TO CLOSE. MILTON MILLS, N. July 22.-The
