Ure., July 29.-The Commercial National bank. the Ainsworth National and the Portland Savings banks closed today, on account of the withdrawals of deposits. The Commercial National paid out $150,000.

The suspended institutions are all said to be solvent. At 1 p. m., the ciosing hour, the excitement had subsided, and the withdrawal of deposits at the other bank ceased, while the business houses were making their usual Saturday deposits. Between the noon hour and the closing time deposits greatly exceeded the withdrawals. D. P. Thompson was appointed receiver of the Portland savings bank this afternoon. A statement of this bank shows resources $2,955,000, which is considered a conservative estimate. The liabilities are placed at $2,475,000. During the last sixty days there has been a shrinkage of $600,000. while $800,000 has been withdrawn from the Commercial National bank during the same period. The Commercial National paid $100,000 yesterday. AKRON, Ohio, July 29.-The Citizens Savings and Loan Association of Akron closed its doors at 10:30 this morning. The cause given was constant drawing upon resources by drawing out of deposits. The capital stock is $100,000, with $80,000 surplus. The company was organized and incorpórated in 1872. The suspension created no surprise in Akron, KANKAKEE, III., July 29.-The First National bank, of this city, failed to open this morning.

WALTHAM, Mass., July 29.-All the American Waltham Watch company foremen were interviewed by President Fitch today, and given instructions as to reducing their working forces. In some cases this will be a cut down of 50 per cent, and in all there will be 1,500 hands thrown out of work indefinitely. Of the hands retained. a large number will have to work for reduced pay, 15 per cent being cut off in some instances, it is said. Letters received today from the Elgin factory report the situation even worse there than in Waltham. There will be 1.600 watchmakers discharged there on Aug. 1, and the pay roll of $120,000 a week will be reduced about one-half. There are 500,000 movements in stock there, valued at $500,000. The concern IS all right financially, having a surplus on hand of $1,000,000 of undivided profits. In the discharge of hands, SO far as possible, those will be retained who have families dependent upon them for support, and the ones discharged will be taken on again whenever the business prospects shall brighten sufficiently to warrant it. HELENA, Mont., July 29.-The Citizens' Stock Growers' National Bank of Miles City closed today. Its assets are said to be far in excess of its liabilities. Stringency of the money market is given as the cause. The First National bank of the same city has all its deposits guaranteed by a committee of business men, and it is thought will be able to keep open. MANCHESTER, N.

Portland (Ore.) Suspensions. (By telegraph to the Dispatch.) PORTLAND, ORE., July 29.-The Commercial National Bank, the Portland Savings Bank, and the Ainsworth National Bank closed their doors this morning on account of depositors drawing money faster than collections could be made.

Astoria's Splendid Banking Condition. The exclusive announcement in yes terday afternoon's Astorian Extra that three more Portland banks, making six in all, had closed their doors, created a flurry in local business circles, but no excitement was noticeable, not even the customary gatherings on the corners to discuss the event. THE REASON THEREFOR is evident. Neither Astoria banks nor business houses are affected there by. Our banks are fortunate in having had conservative mainlagements, and so, with no kites in the wind the financial breeze doesn't bother them. Every one of them has assets far in excess of all liabilities and in addition thereto they all have large capitalists, property owners, and wealthy stock holders to back them. All that is needed is that our people shall USE ORDINARY DISCRETION and keep along in accustomed paths, letting the speculators and crazy headed bank raiders of the big cities, injure themselves by rash and inju dicious runs on hte monetary institu tions. Instead of wilfully and intention ally crippling our banks let depositors gather up all the money they can and strengthen the hands of the managers. Simply stand ' y and protect the enviable standard of solvency our banks have attained, and a few days from now, when the scare is ove.: and the panic subsided, we will nave the proud distinction of being one of the few cities in which not a single failure occurred. THE FOLLY OF RUNS is indisputably shown by the sense less weakening of the Portland Savings bank; a concern which has assets, at a very conservative estimate, of over $2,950,000, and liabilities of only $2,475, 000, a clear and ordinarily available surplus of $475,000. The only reason why such solid banks as that, and the Commercial and Ainsworth National, close their doors is that they cannot, in an emergency realize on their securi ties. The banks' creditors will lose nothing; not a penny. They will have to wait a few days until things adjust themselves or current funds can be procured in exchange for bonds, deeds, notes, mortgages, and the other forms of interest paying securities, in which all banks deal. OUR BANKS ARE SOLID. for there is not one but has more wealth in sight, than claims against it, and every depositor therein is amply protected, blow high or blow low. Keeping this satisfactory fact in view, and as much for selfpreservation, too, let our business men and manufactur ers, all classes of bank creditors, go out of their way to bar any chance or possibility of those institutions being embarrassed. It is a duty today and will be a glory hereafter. Common sense and public spirit were never more needed than now, and their ex ercise at this time w.ll cover the city with credit and be the best poss ble advertisement for it abroad.
