Description

Single brief telegraph note states the National Bank in N.Y. has suspended. No mention of a run, receivership, reopening, or cause in the provided excerpt. Because the report is terse and gives no indication of permanent failure, I classify as a suspension with likely temporary closure (suspension_reopening) but this is uncertain.
