Description

Contemporary articles (Nov–Dec 1853 and through 1854) report the Massillon Bank as having 'failed' or 'suspended.' One item (Lewisburg Chronicle) links the collapse to losses from the failure of T. Dwight (a large unauthorized loan), suggesting bank-specific losses. A later note (Dec 1853) describes the bank as 'defunct' and an official seizing coin, and repeated failure lists in 1854 continue to include Massillon Bank. No clear report of reopening or of a formal receivership was found in the provided clippings, so I classify this as a suspension that resulted in permanent closure.

Reported loss/ downfall linked to failure of T.

The Panic. The reported bank failures which we published last week, turn out to have been greatly exaggerated. According to later and more correct accounts, but two banking concerns, the Massillon Bank, Ohio, and the Patchin Bank, Buffalo, have suspended. In these cases too, the prospect for bill holders does not now appear so hopelessas at first. Money is becoming more plenty in the eastern cities, and the panic which has doubtless been designedly heightened in some quarters by persons possessed with sinister motives, seems to have nearly subsided. We copy the following article from Thompson's Reporter as being good authority in money matters: FINANCIAL PROSPECTS.-Land Ho! Wall street is out of the woods. The tide has turned and we are bound up. Exchange on Europe has fallen below a specie point-gold is on the increase in our banks-deposits ditto-accommodations are easily obtained-shinning on the decline-stocks are rising-no panic among the Banks-all's safe. The Bank of Oswego is good-no Connecticut bank has failed. The Patchin Bank of Buffalo has stopped, but its notes are secured, and it is our opinion that they will be redeemed in a very short time. The Bank of Massillon, Ohio, is said to have failed. There may be a few more failures among railroad sufferers, but the country is safe-the Banks with few exceptions, are safe. The merchants, all who have kept out of railroad speculations, are sound. Brokers and bankers, except railroad bond and stock speculators, are safe.-On the whole, these U. States were never safer. Now for higher prices-bank expansions-speculations-glorious times-plenty of money and plenty of fun. Have mercy on all croakers and old fogies.

OWEGO BANK.-The rumor of the failure of this Bank, published by us, proves to have been unfounded. From our personal acquaintance with the Institution for fifteen years past, we are confident that it stands as high where known, as the Northumberland Bank does in this community The Bank has, however, sutained a loss of a portion only of its surplus funds, after having divided 10 per cent. among its stockholders for several years past. This loss was by the failure of T. Dwight, a the Bank in New York, and who had borrowed some $50 or $60,000 from the Bank The agency money was secured to the Bank, but the loan will probably be a total loss. This loan was made without the authority of the Directors, and the Cashier has been compelled to resign. Notwithstanding the rumor of its failure was published far and near, only $1200 in specie were withdrawn from the Bank, and more than that sum was deposited at the same time. But although the large surplus funds and previous good character of this Bank sustained it under a loss which would have destroyed many institutions less favored, we agree with the views of The Athenian in the same neighborhood, that "banks were not contemplated to aid brokers in speculating in fancy stocks-they were designed to accommodate men of moderate means and sure business in legitimate, open, honest pursuits. The Bank had closed its doors upon men of this class, and loaned its means to a favored few engaged in hazardous speculations. Such a course is prejudicial alike to all kinds of business-to honest, safe banking-and should be prohibited if possible by stern and stringent laws." - It is not denied, as we see, that the failure of this same Mr. Dwight has caused the suspension or entire downfall of the " Pachin Bank" in New York State, and of " Massillon Bank" in Ohio.

Banks gone under. The Detroit Daily Free Press of the 22nd inst., publishes the following list of Banks as having recently failed. We have looked for, and may reasonably expect that one of the worst Bank panics the country ever experienced, is just upon us, butas to the correctness of the fate of the following we very much doubt. But here is the list published by the Free Press: Patchin Bank, Buffalo. Farmers and Merchants' Bank, Oswego. Farmers Bank of Canandagua. Drovers Bank. Ogdensburgh. Bank of Carthage.

# The Failing Banks The Cincinnati Commercial publishes a statement of the Kanawha bank, (of Va.,) showing a very safe state of affairs in that institution, and remarks- "While we know nothing of the institution except through the showing which it makes, and the character of some of its stockholders, we have no reason to suppose that we are in possession of less information than those who are endeavoring to do it an injury. An amount of assets equal to one dollar and twenty-seven cents for each dollar of its circulation is not a very bad state of things, certainly. We do not present ourselves as endorsers of the solvency of this or any other banking institution, but we should be sorry at this time of pecuniary oppression, to see the mitchief aggravated by an unjustifiable suspicion of any concern whatever. Of the Kentucky Trust Co. Bank at Covington, the same paper says- "This institution, closed its doors yesterday morning. The public generally have been taken by surprise, though there are many who seem to have anticipated the failure. For many months the amount of paper presented for redemption has averaged about $80,000 per week, which, at the usual high price of gold for sometime passed, absorbed nearly the whole profits of the bank. It is thought by some that the bank will be able to meet its liabilities; by others it is considered a complete failure. We saw some of its money selling for 90 cents in Covington, soon after the failure, which, at least is an indication that some of the people there have full confidence in the ability of the institution. The bank has a cirsulation of $800,000, a considerable part of which has been put out but recently. Speaking of the present state of Banks and money matters generally, the Sandusky Register says: "There can be no doubt but that the public mind is unnecessarily excited about the Indiana currency. The issues of the Free Banks are secured on what are considered good public stocks, and these securities if not forced on the market in an untimely manner are unquestionably sufficient to redeem the issues with small loss to the public, A panic forces the issues and the securities on the market, and the labor of the country suffers the loss. Those papers, which are busy stirring up this monetary excitement, should think of the ultimate effect of these excitements ere they launch out upon their ill-considered crusade against the banks." The following is a list of banks that have bursted within a short time past: Patchin Bank, Buffalo. Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank, Oswego. Farmers' Bank of Canandaigua. Dovers' Bank, Ogdensburg. Bank of Carthage. Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, Md. Bank of Milford, Delaware. Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, Memphis, Massillon Bank, Ohio. Ohio Savings Institute, Tiffin. Cochituate Bank, Boston. Bank of West Killingly, Connecticut. Eighth Avenue Bank, New York. Bank of Ellsworth, Maine. Elkhart County Bank, Indiana. Bank of Northern Indiana. Bank of Washtenaw, Michigan. Erie and Kalamazoo Bank, Michigan. Kentucky Trust Co. Newport (Ky.,) Safety Trust Bank. Savings Bank of Cincinnati. The Bank of Connersville. The Washington Star cautions the public against the reception of the notes of the Arlington and of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Banks of Washington. Both are worthless, being mere bogus machinery started there for the purpose of flooding the country with their irresponsible issues.
