By Associated Press. New York, Jan. 9.-Aside from work of reorganization of the affected institutions, which will necessarily extend ever the week, the New york banking situation is normal. Timid depositors are reassured and the stock market optimistic, while Joseph Robin, who the caused the flurry, is still in Tombs. With powerful interests behind the Twelfth and Nineteenth ward the banks, with the absorption of Madison Trust Company by the Equitable Trust Company, these institutions, whose integrity was questioned because of their affiliations with the Carneigie Trust Company, weathered the day with such aggressiveness that there were no runs, and almost normal deposits. Dr. Loiuse Robinovitch, sister of Robin, entered the Tombs today, being indicted for perjury, and was remanded in default of three thousand dollars bail. She had sworn that she and her brother Edward were the only heirs at law of Joseph. When she made an effort to have him committed to an asylum an investigation disclosed an aged couple who prosecution contends are the parents. The indictment.is based on this discovery. Dr. Robino vitch denies her guilt. CONFERENCE OF BANKERS. The conference of bankers at the home of Paul D. Cravath did not conclude until early this morning and while it was in progres almost constant communication was maintained with J. P. Morgan. Five directors of three banks retired following the conference. Certain assets of the Nineteenth and Twelfth ward banks have, by direction of Superintendent Cheney, been replaced by money and J. P. Morgan agreed to give whatever financial assistance was necessary. Little excitement was manifested those wishing to withdraw their by deposits from the trust company's branches and allied banks. The line at the Twelfth ward bank included only about fifty persons, a majority of them foreigners and many of these went away when told of the developments over night. There was some excitement at the savings bank department of the Ninth ward bank at 57th street at Third avenue, where there were about two hundred persons in line, when the bank opened and atthe branch on East Eighty-sixth street, where four hundred depositors were in line. At the Seventy-second street branch there in were about one hundred people line. There was not the slightest disorder, however, at any of the branches. At the main bank was quiet, depositors there dispalying consideably more confidence than those of the savings departments. As an indication of the general feeling in financial quarters, prices on the stock exchange showed fractional gains in a majority of stocks, and the market was moderately active. Some of the leading stocks showed advances. A similar statement was shown from other financial institutions. The guarantee signed by the Carnegie Trust Company directors for the $650,000 which the city had on deposit with that institution was found today in the private safe of City Chamberlain Hyde. Mr. Hyde has been absent from the city for several weeks and the subpoena servers of the legislative investigating committee could not locate him. Charges against Chamberlain Hyde and a request for his removal from office were filed today with Mayor Gaynor by a citizen.
