MINNEAPOLIS June 7.-A rumor gained eirculation -day that two of the best-known elevator companies in the Northwest, the Northern Pacific and the Red River Valley. were temporarily embarrassed. and the subsequent events proved that although the crash is not absolute. the predicament in which these corporations find themselves is a serious one The situation is attributed to the prevailing uncertainty and the lack of confidence which is felt by the banks. The facts in the case as yet will not warrant the assertion that it is a business failure. although the statement comes direct from the general manager of the Northern Pacific Flovator Company that that corporation will ask for the appointment of a receiver. This means that the Red River Valley Company will do the same. as the capital interested in each is mostly mutual. The capital stock of the Northern Pacific Elevator Company is held mostly outside of the city. principally in Duluth. George Ruplev President of the Northern Parific Elevator Company. resides in the latter city. and until his arrival morrow no statement as to llabilities or Assets or the financial difficulties of the companies will be forthcoming. The capital stock of the Northern Pacific Elevator Company is $650,000 and the Red River Valley Company $250,000. The interests of both concerns are held largely by the same men.

Palouse Bank Opens. PALOUSE, Wash., June 8,-The First National, which closed Tuesday morning, will open for business tomorrow at noon. The bank was in first-class condition when closed, but did not have the ready cash to meet the run caused by news of the failure of the Band of Spokane Falls. The stockholders and nearly all the large depositors had the utmost confidence in the bank, and did not worry in the least, Plenty of money has been secured by Cashier Cross to more than meet all the claims of depositors which can be presented. The fact that the bank could secure aid in the present crisis demonstrates the high position it holds in financial circles, A large meeting of depositors was held today at which the most implicit confidecce in the management and reliability of the bank was expressed. There is no further danger of a panic, All three Palouse banks are solid. Cashier Cross has announced that the bank will open for business tomorrow.

BANKS GO UNDER. No Large Concerns Are Shaken. ONLY THE WEAK TOTTER. And Most of the Failares Reported Do Not Seem to Be Very Bad Ones. Special to THE MORNING CALL NEW YORK, June 9.-Judge Lacombe of the United States Circuit Court to-day issued an order authorizing a compromise of the suit of Frederick N. Pauly, as receiver of the National Bank of San Diego, Cal., against the Equitable Life Assurance Society. The bank failed in 1891, and among the assets was a $25,000 policy on the life of John W. Collins, the former president of the bank, who committed suicide. The company refused to pay this policy on certain grounds. The plaintiffs state they recognize the merits of some of the claims of the defendant, and acting on the advice of the Comptroller of the Currency, have agreed to accept $17,500 from the insurance company. A compromise, therefore, has been made on that basis. Judge McAdam appointed Fabius M. Clarke and Dr. Henry T. Cutter receivers of the Casino. E. F. Sanford & Co., jewelry, have assigned. Liabilities $150,000, assets $100,000. MISSOULA, Mont., June 9.-C. P. Higgins' Western Bank closed its doors at noon to-day, displaying formal notice of suspension. This is a private concern and no statement has been obtained at present. Stringency in the money market and threatened litigation precipitated the collapse. The depository is for the city and county It owns funds large to the interests. extent of Its about incorporaters $80,000. were promoters of the city of Missoula. From these lands and improvements they expect to realize more than double the amount required for liquidation,after which business will be resumed.

Assets, $163,000; liabilities, $81,800. ALTON, III., June 9.-The bank of J. E. Hyattat Gillespie failed to-day. From information received here it seems that a run has been in progress for several days and this caused the failure. Details have not yet been learned. NEW ORLEANS, June 9.-The Louisiana Cypress Lumber Company is in the hands of a receiver, the result of the depression in the money market. A suit was filed by William S. Hopstra of Muskegon, Mich., to recover $11,431 due on notes. The assets of the company nominally are $300,000. There is an indebtedness probably of $200,000. ELLENSBURG, Wash., June 9.-A notice will be posted on the doors of the banking house of Ben E. Snipes & Co. this morning that the bank has temporarily suspended owing to the heavy withdrawal of deposits and inability to realize on securities amply sufficient to pay five dollars for one of the indebtedness.

There is no excitement over the suspension, and the bank has the sympathy and confidence of the entire public. CHICAGO, June 9.--Joseph Higgins. private banker. with branch banks in Illinois, failed this morning; assets $50,000; liabilities not given, There are branches at Mascoutah, Serento, Gillespie and St. Ann.

It is to be observed that in twenty-one States and Territories there have been no !ailures of National banks, viz: In Alaska, Arizona. Arkansas, Connecticut. Delaware, District of Columbia, Idabo, Indian Territory, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. It is further worthy of note that no National banks have failed in Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati. St. Louis, New-Orleans, San Francisco, Minneapolis, St. Pan! and numbers of other great commercial centres: and that but one has closed in New-York, two in Chicago. and one In Milwankee. The cause of the failures in NewYork and Chicago was due largely to mismanagement, as were numbers of others. Local scares have caused many of late to suspend. Nine of the banks failed were robbed by officials who are now under arrest. The following National banks have been authorIzed by the Controller of the Currency to resume business: Gate City National Bank, Atlanta, Ga.: First National Bank. Los Angeles, Cal.: First National Bank, San Diego, Cal.: First National Bank, Santa Ana, Cal.: First National Bank, San Bernardino, Cal.: Southern California National Bank, Los Angeles, Cal.: Merchants' National Bank. Fort Worth, Tex.: Second National Bank, Ashland, Ky.: Capital National Bank, Indianapolis.: First National Bank, Palouse City, Wash.: Washington National Bank, Spokane Falls, Wash.: National Bank of Commerce. Provo City, Utab: First National Bank. Cisco, Texas: Missouri National Bank, Kansas City, Mo. Many more will reopen, as the majority of those recently failed are absolutely solvent, and only closed through an unwarranted lack of confidence in them, causing disastrous runs. Resume: Number now in operation, 3,785: number failed since January 1, 1893. 105; number reopened, 14: number In hands of receivers, 33: number In hands of Bank Examiners, with application to Controller for resumption, 58.

"It is further worthy of note that no national banks have failed in Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati, St. Louis. New Orleans, San Francisco, Minneapolis, St. Paul and numbers of other great comme cial centers, and that but one has been closed in New York, two in Chicago and one in Milwaukee.

G. Dun & Co.'s review of trade says: "The hardest week yet has left the business world still able to rejoice in the soundness and strength disclosed. No banks here or at other eastern cities and no eastern firms of large importance have gone down. but several banks failed at the west. But through all the strain the banks of New York have passed without trouble, and imports of gold have commenced. "From $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 in money has been sent west every day and a large decrease in bank reserves is expected, as the treasury has not been disbursing heavily. Chicago has drawn heavily on New York, but in that and other cities bank statements indicate creditable soundness. "Grain rose briskly on Monday, but all speculative markets yielded a little when tight money came and the slaughter of stocks. Wheat closed about 1 cent lower. though western receipts were moderate. Corn is a fraction lower, as are some hog products. Cotton has declined an eighth, though receipts are a little larger and exports smaller than last year, but holders show great stubbornness in view of the large stocks in sight and the closing of many mills. In other products no special change is reported, though prices tend lower. "Many wolten factories are closing for a month or more or indefinitely, because orders are slack, for while jobbers' orders are about as usual clothiers still hold off. Fall trade is said to be not more than a third of the usual, and many dealers expect to do no more than half the usual spring business. Orders for boots and shoes are restricted. Shipments from the east are 12 per cent. less than for the same week last year. "Failures during the last week number 386 in the United States, against 171 last year and 23 in Canada, against 22 last year. It is noteworthy that only three failures were of capital above $200,000 each and only ninety-nine of capital over $5,000. Over fifty banks stopped during the week."
