An Immense St. Louis Concern in a Receiver's Hands, ST. LOUIS, July 1.-The Madison Car company filed articles of assignment in the recorder's court at Edwardsville, Ill., today. The assets are given at $918,000 and liabilities at $1,122,000, Paul A. Fusz is named as assignee. The company recently erected a large plant for the manufacture of railway cars at Madison, III., opposite this city, and has endeavored to build up a city similar to Pullman, III. The company has been in straitened circumstances for some time, and the stringency of the money market has precipitated the failure. About 690 were employed at the works. The announcement of the failure created surprise in mercautile circles in this city, owing to the fact that the stockholders of the company are all St. Louis people. Many of the stockholders are also heavily interested in the Merchants' Bridge, the Security Building and other large enterprises. The company is capitalized at $500,000,and about six months ago floated an additional bonded indebtedness of $500,000. This was used in p ying off pressing obligations. The company has done a heavy business in manufacturing railway cars and material, and it is said had some difficulty in securing payment for material and rolling stock furnished to different railroads.

It is to be observed that in twenty-one States and Territories there have been no !ailures of National banks, viz: In Alaska, Arizona. Arkansas, Connecticut. Delaware, District of Columbia, Idabo, Indian Territory, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. It is further worthy of note that no National banks have failed in Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati. St. Louis, New-Orleans, San Francisco, Minneapolis, St. Pan! and numbers of other great commercial centres: and that but one has closed in New-York, two in Chicago. and one In Milwankee. The cause of the failures in NewYork and Chicago was due largely to mismanagement, as were numbers of others. Local scares have caused many of late to suspend. Nine of the banks failed were robbed by officials who are now under arrest. The following National banks have been authorIzed by the Controller of the Currency to resume business: Gate City National Bank, Atlanta, Ga.: First National Bank. Los Angeles, Cal.: First National Bank, San Diego, Cal.: First National Bank, Santa Ana, Cal.: First National Bank, San Bernardino, Cal.: Southern California National Bank, Los Angeles, Cal.: Merchants' National Bank. Fort Worth, Tex.: Second National Bank, Ashland, Ky.: Capital National Bank, Indianapolis.: First National Bank, Palouse City, Wash.: Washington National Bank, Spokane Falls, Wash.: National Bank of Commerce. Provo City, Utab: First National Bank. Cisco, Texas: Missouri National Bank, Kansas City, Mo. Many more will reopen, as the majority of those recently failed are absolutely solvent, and only closed through an unwarranted lack of confidence in them, causing disastrous runs. Resume: Number now in operation, 3,785: number failed since January 1, 1893. 105; number reopened, 14: number In hands of receivers, 33: number In hands of Bank Examiners, with application to Controller for resumption, 58.
