THE KANSAS CITY SCARE

A BANKING COMPANY AND A SAVINGS BANK CLOSE. The National Bank Failure Starts n RunCrowds Upon the Streets-Banks Pull Through-Reports of Their Condition. KANSAR CITY. July 15.-This was the most critical day in the banking history of Kansas City. Runs were made on all the banks. The Northrup Banking Company and the Franklin Saving Bank closed their doors on account of the failure of the National Bank of Kansas City yesterday afternoon. The bankers opened their dooré this morning expecting runs of more or less consequence. The banks were prepared as well as could be expected to withstand any attack. As soon as the doors of the Bank of Commerce. the Missouri National. the Metropolitan. the Union National. and the Midland were thrown open the people began to collect about them. and many drew out their deposits. The Ferd Heim. Brewing Company dumped $33,000 at the receiving window in the Missouri National Bank as its daily deposit. and a better feeling spread among the assembled depositors. Atthe windows of this bank hung the sign: This bank will be open until 12 o'clock tonight. "D. V. RIEBER. President." Ninth and Delaware streets, the moneyed thoroughfares of the city. were lively places. Each was thronged. The crowds began gathering about 8:30 o'clock. and so steadily increased that the force of policemen was doubled. The officers kept the people moving. The Northrup Bank. which failed this morning for half a million dollars. was founded by Hiram Northrup and Joseph S. Chick. President of the National Bank of Kansas City. in the year 1857. It has always been regarded as a solid concern. and until the death of its President and founder. a few months ago. its depositors never had a thought of its failing. The eight national banks of the city have just completed statements of their condition at the close of business last Wednesday, in response to a call from the Comptroller of the Currency. They show that the banks have total deposits to the amount of $11.789.597. and cash on hand $4,426,105. or a little over 37.5 per cent. of the deposits in actual cash in the vaults. despite a long-continued withdrawal of deposits. If to the cash on hand is added assets immediately available in the form of demand loans and United States and State bonds, the total reserve is swelled to 47 per cent. of the deposite. This is considered by financial men to be an exceedingly good showing when 25 per cent. of the deposits is supposed to be sufficient to be kept on hand. Large amounts of Government. State. and. municipal bonds also are held by the banks. Concerning the condition of the National Bank of Kansas City President Chick says: Our assets will approximate $4,000,000. They consist of $3,000,000 in commercial. mercantile. and bank loans and nearly $1,000,000 worth of property. on May 1 we had a reserve fund of about $1,500,000. but soon after that time the withdrawal of deposits began and has continued ever since. increasing day by day. Since May 1 over $2,000,000 have been drawn out. and on the day that the Kansas City Safe Deposit and Savings Bank suspended we stood a drain of about $150,000. Lately we have paid out on an average $100,000 a day. and we did all that was possible to avert the crisis which we saw approaching. Thursday afternoon the bank appealed to the Clearing House for assistance. The sum asked for approximated $1,000,000. and the Clearing House responded with $35,000." It is believed that Monday will find a better feeling and no new failures.

July 17.-A dispatch from Ishpeming, Mich., says that the Schleisinger syndicate, the largest ore operators in the world, are in difficulty owing to the depression in the trade. Adolf Schleisinger, one of the organizers of the syndicate, says the output was reduced 25 per cent. some time ago All the mines are in Michigan and the central of fice is in Milwaukee. The plants owned by the syndicate are: The Chapin Mining company, the Buffalo Mining company, York Mining company, Arogan Mining company, Claire Mining company and Sunday Lode Mining company. These individ ual companies, all owning mines. were consolidated four years ago by Schleisinger Brothers, and, it is said. on insufficient capital. It is also said the syndicate went too deeply into railroad building Schlesinger's properties have over $1,000,000 worth of paper held by Milwaukee banks, and it is considered probable they will help him out Schlesinger began operations four years ago and has cut a large figure in the iron trade. He was embarrassed ten years ago, but sold the Escanaba, Iron Mountain & Western railway to the Chicago & Northwestern railway and pulled out of difficulties. If matters cannot be fixed here it will probably lead to trouble at his numerous other mines, employing nearly 2,500 men all told. PEORIA.

out on demand the whole of its deposits. They are not available from its very nature. If times are hard and scared depositors form a line in front of the window, a good bank will have to suspend before over a third of them are satisfied unless other capital comes to its aid. The report of the bank examiner in the case of the MisNational of Kansas City shows it to have been perfectly solvent and in exceedingly good shape. It was forced, however, to suspend in a few hours. This is not as it should be. A bank that does all your business, pays your debtors, cares for your credit, and is your best friend in adversity is worthy of some confidence. If times are hard for the depositor they are equally so for the bank, and its collections are relatively as scanty. The safe deposit charges you a fee for hiding away your wealth. The bank keeps your money in circulation and bouys up the public credit. The reports as to the condition of 80 many suspended banks is not a favorable criterion to the common sense of the common people. Think a while before you start a bank run again, good people.

FAILED TO OPEN

The National Bank of Kansas City Forced to Suspend. KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 18.-The National Bank of Kansas City failed to open its doors this morning. The direct cause of the failure was the unfavorable statement of the bank's affairs given out March 5. In the panic of 1893 the bank suspended, but through an arrangement between depositors and the stockholders it was permitted to resume business. The steady withdrawal of deposits since that time has placed the bank in an embarrassing position and necessitated another suspension, The statement given out is not complete. It shows assets of $1,800,000, liabilities, $1,050,000. The Star this afternoon will say editorially that none of the other banks of the city will in any way be affected, being in splendid condition. The controller of the currency today received a telegram. announcing the suspersion of the National Bank of Kansas City. Bank Examiner G. W. Galbreath was immediately appointed temporary receiver.

One Million Short

The National Bank of Kansas City capital $1,000,000, did not open for business Monday morning. J. S. Chick, a well-known financier, is the president of the institution. The bank yielded to pressure in the panic of 1893. but straightened its affairs and resumed. Since then business has been poor. The assets are said to be $1,800,000, with liabilities of $1,050,000. The officers of the bank are J. S. Chick, President, and J. Q. Watkins, Jr., Cashier. It is not believed that any other bank will be affected by the failure. The bank did a heavy collecting business throughout Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and Indian Territory. The failure was unexpected and the news of the suspension created quite a sensation in financial circles. The bank is the oldest financial institution in the city, having been established by Messrs. J. H. and W. H. Chick before the war. Until the panic of 1893 it was ranked as one of the strongest banks in the West. In July, 1893, it succumbed to a run and temporarily closed its doors. Although the capital was reduced and the stockholders paid in a 50 per cent. assessment in the reorganization, the institution has never recovered from the blow it received at that time, and its suspension now is directly attributed to that suspension. According to the statement of the bank March 5, deposits were $990,559.30.
