in view of the disclosures connected with their arrest makes it doubtful if the 100 per cent. assessment to be levied on the stockholders will yield anything on the 2,300 shares held by those gentlemen. This view of the situation corresponds with that held by others who are posted in the matter. DRAGGED DOWN BY THE MAVERICK. Damariscotta, Me., Nov. 4. -The Maverick national bank of Boston held $40,000 of the funds of the First national bank of this city. The news of the failure of the former reached here Monday morning, and a run was at once started on the First national. It soon suspended payment and closed its doors.

bank's assets by 20 per cent to allow for forced shrinkage resulted in a bad showing. Mr. Potter said that he personally could have settled the bank's indebtedness without the loss of a dollar to either stockholders or depositors, if given a little time. It now looks as if depositors would not get more than 70 cents on the dollar out of the wreck. The arrests and consequent loss of confidence will depreciate the returns from assessed stockholders. As a result of this failure. in which there is an indebtedness of $40,000 to the First National Bank of Damariscotta, Me., the latter has had a run and has suspended payment. although evidently solvent. The bank examiner has taken charge of it.

Damariscotta, ME., Nov. 30-The First National Bank, which closed its doors on account of the suspension of the Maverick Bank of Boston, has resumed business and is transacting its affairs as usual.
Bank runs are almost always and everywhere a deterioration of bank fundamentals.
But not for you.
You are the measure-zero exception: great fundamentals, solid bank, and yet the Diamond Dybvig fairy spread its rumor. Depositors woke up. Your collateral was not prepositioned. The Clearinghouse had it for you.
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail… or worse.
