Bank Failure The Hibernia Trust and Savings Bank of Charleston closed its doors yesterday and asked for a receiver to be appointed by the court. This is one of the smaller banks of Charleston and its financial condition was not considered strong. Several years ago the bank almost went to the wall but its friends rallied to its support and it was hoped that its difficulties would be surmounted. The recent stringency in the money market however was too much for the little institution and it was considered advisable to place its affairs in the hands of the court. The amount of its assets or liabilities have not been learned. It is safe to say however that the depositors will be paid in full.

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.
