toward enabling the bank to resume.

Some excitement was caused in Salt Lake on Saturday by the temporary suspension of the First National bank. The cause of the suspension is the failure of Eastern houses and the difficult to obtain currency. Their liabilities are amply secured by good assets. The assets cover $360,000, and the liabilities are only $277,000. This is exclusive of the personal property of Warren Hussey, who holds himself responsible for all the bank indebtedness.
