Description

The article lists banks and notes which are closed; the line reads Staten Bank of N. Y., Buffalo, closed. OCR likely garbled — this appears to refer to the State Bank (or State Bank of N.Y.) in Buffalo being closed. No run or cause is described in the excerpt, only that the bank is closed. I mark the event as a suspension/closure with unknown cause.
