LIABILITIES. Capital stock paid in. $ 250,000 Surplus fund 130,000 Other undivided pronte 20,010 National Bank notes 40,504) Individual deposits 405,538 Demand certificates 20,617 Certified chocks 7,704 Due to banks 621,031 $1,511,629 The fact that the bank has been paying 6 aud C per cent interest on deposits, while the strong-est banks in the city pay no more than 3 per cent, has lately excited auspicions of its management. # THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF THE SUSPENSION is said to have been a loss of deposits, and the maturing of homo $200,000 of paper rediscounted in New York. The country business was large, and country customers have been drawing down their balances, as in the case of other banks. The presont deposits of the bank are stated on the authority of an attorney who oxamined the books in behalf of some of the depositors to be about $500,000; The assets comprise $200,000 of good bills receivable, duo in May; $150,000 of similar paper due in Juno; and of similar paper falling duo this month and in July, about $100,000. In addition is the three-fourths interest in the building and lot occupied in part by the bauk; the building is worth about 250,000, and the 60 foot of land aro worth about $72,000. This makos the bank's interest about $90,000, clear of all in-oumbrance. The bank has on hand $110,000 cash. There will be a margin of about $15,000 on its bonds securing circulation. In addition, the depositors have the double liability of the stockholders. # THE CAPITAL STOCK is $250,000, with a surplus of $130,000, and is said, in the last statement, to have boon all paid in. How this is could not be ascertained, but it 14 stated that, whon Huriburd was Comptroller of the Currency, he throntoned to close up the bank bocause the capital stock had not been -paid in. Among the principat stockholders are E. Gammon, of Gammon & Deering, who holds about $32,000; W. Bushnell has $70,000; A. D. Reed's ostato, $50,000; Willisın A. Sutor, 225,-000. About four out of five of the stockholdora are believed to be good for their double liability. The bank holde bad paper to the amount of $150,000, most of it made by Sam Walker and his real-estato set, and carried by the bank since the panic. The fact that Wm. A. Butor, once Casbier of the City National, was President till recently of the LaCrosse First National Bank, just collapsed, gave rise to the rumor that the one fall-uro bad caused the other, but no evidenco can be discovered to that effect. # THE RECENT ACTION OF THE CLEARING-HOUSE in adopting a rule for the examination of dubious bauks is believed to have brought the bank to a stop. Its certificates of deposit, bearing 6 per cent interest, were notice to all interested that something was the matter, and an anticipation that the Olearing-House Committee might
