MINNEAPOLIS BANK CLOSES. It Is Only for the Purpose of Being Examined, However. MINNEAPOLIS. MINN., January 15.-The City Bank this morning posted the following notice on its doors: "Owing to heavy withdrawals of deposits, and inability to collect on notes, this bank is temporarily closed, to allow the Superintendent of Banks to examine into its condition. The capital is $300,000, and the deposits December 31st were $500,000. No serious trouble is anticipated." Bank-Examiner Kenyon was in Minneapolis Monday, and at that time examined the condition of the bank. He then advised the officers not to suspend, as the bank was perfectly solvent, according to his statement, even if less than 75 per cent. were collected on the paper it holds. However, the withdrawal of deposits, which has been going on for the last few days. left the bank powerless, and this morning it found itself forced to discontinue operations. It is now in the hands of Mr. Kenyon and his assistants, and an examination is being made. T. J. Buxton is president; A. H. Linton, vice-president: and L. T. Buston, assistant cashier. The bank was organized in October, 1872.

DEPOSITORS CAUSE ITS FALL. Withdrawais Precipitate the Failure of a Minneapolis Bank. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., Jan. 15.-As soon as business hours had opened in banking circles this morning the announcement was made that the City Bank on the corner of Third street and Hennepin avenue had closed its doors. Among bankers and those in a position to know there was general credence given to the statement from the City Bank officials that the bank stood good for every cent of its deposits, and that it had been forced to suspend its business by the withdrawal of heavy deposits and inability to collect its notes. Bank Examiner Kenyon was in Minneapolis Monday and at that time examined the condition of the bank. He then advised the officers not to suspend, as the bank was perfectly solvent, according to his statement, even if less than 75 per cent were collected on the paper it holds. However, the withdrawal of deposits, which has been going on for the last few days, left the bank powerless, and this morning it found itself forced to discontinue operations. It is now in the hands of Mr. Kenyon and his assistants, and an examination is being made. T. J. Buxton is president of the City Bank; A. H. Linton, vice-president, and L. R. Buxton, assistant cashier. The bank was organized in October, 1872.

Double Liability. MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 17.-One of the most voluminous findings ever handed in to the district court came before Judge Elliott for his signature this morning, in the City bank receivership, in which the law is to be settled regarding the stockholders. The chief point in the case is that the court holds that the stockholders will be obliged to face the double liability on all stock and debts prior to Aug. 1, 1895. Subsequent to that date, when the new law went into effect, only a single liability will be assessed against the stockholders.

City Bank Assets Sold. The last of the Minneapolis City bank assets, with the single exception of the interest in the Holly mill property, were sold yesterday at the court house at public auction, the prices realized being considered very satisfactory. Old notes and judgments formed the greater part of the collateral sold, and these were divided up into blocks, the bidding on a certain lot often being quite spirited. A lot of about $130,000 realized $7,885; another lot of $50,000 brought $4,255, and $130,000 in judgments went for $3,630. Among the judgments sold was one for $4,021 against the Mendenhalis and the Minneapolis Trust company, which was finally knocked down for $2,330. This sale disposes of practically all the business of the receivership outside of the mill property, and an early winding up of the estate is expected.
