Description

Contemporary newspaper list (Nov–Dec 1854) enumerates Farmers' and M. Bank, Washington, D.C. among banks that have suspended payment in recent months. No article text here describes a run, reopening, or receiver—only that it has suspended. OCR shows variations (Farmers' and M. Bank, Farmers' and M. Bank, Washington, D.C.). Insufficient detail to determine cause or whether suspension was later resolved; categorized as suspension_closure because it appears on a list of banks that have suspended and no reopening is reported in these items.
