BUSTED BANKS. Three Bad Failures at Denver and Two at Kansas City During the Day. Henry Clews Gives Comptroller Eckles Some Interesting Suggestions As to How a Sound as Well as Elastic Currency Might Be Established. DENVER, July 18.-Commercial circles are greatly excited over the failure of three banks in this city during the day. The banks constituting the triple failure are the Colorado Savings bank, the People's Savings bank and the Rocky Mountain Dime and Dollar Savings bank. An estimate of the total assets are $1,500,000 and liabilities are placed at nearly that amount. Charles H. Blakeney was made assignee of the Rocky Mountain Dime and Dollar Savings bank. It is understood that all the assignments were preconcerted and were done for self protection and for the protection of depositors. The direct cause of the failures was the stringency of the money market and inability to realize on securities. The president of each bank declares that each depositor will be paid in full, and that the institutions will resume again. An incipient run has been started on the Denver Savings bank. The bank is taking advantage of the 30 and 60 days notification provision, and is paying out no checks or drafts for more than $20 each.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 17.-Despite assertions of strength and the publishing of a favorable statement Saturday, the Missouri National Bank was taken possession of by the comptroller of the currency shortly before noon to-day. The bank was immediately closed as tight as a clam and it was impossible to get a statement from the officers. The Missouri National is a new bank, having opened in January, 1891. It has a capital stock, paid in, of $250,000, and its surplus is $6,000. According to their statement Saturday issued in compliance with the request of the comptroller of currency, cash and sight exchange were placed at $271,024, and the deposits at $900,763. The officers are D. V. Rieger, president; Henry C. Kumpf, vice-president; R. D. Covington, cashier. The officers show the assets to be $1,154,785 and the liabilities, excepting capital stock about $700,000. During the run on the different national banks here Saturday, quite a run was precipitated upon the Missouri National, though the withdrawals were alone made by the small depositors. This morning, however, several large depositors withdrew their money, and the amounts, running well up into the thousands, made further continuance impossible. For a while slight confidence was restored by Ferd. Heim, a local brewer, deposition $32,000 in the concern, at this soon lost its effect for good.
