Description

OCR of the newspaper is poor. The article appears in a 'Failures' section listing banks and dates; it lists APRIL Paul. 27 Commercial Bank 1 National Savings Bank. Buffalo which I interpret as the Commercial Bank (Buffalo) failing around April 27, 1892. No explicit run is described in the snippet, so this is classified as a suspension/closure (failure). Exact phrasing and precise date are uncertain due to OCR errors.
