Description

In late September 1873 the New Orleans banks (including New Orleans National Bank) instituted a 30-day partial suspension (no checks over $100) as a precautionary measure following suspensions in New York and refusal of other banks to accept New York checks. Subsequent October reports state the New Orleans National Bank had gone into liquidation and a receiver (John Cochran) was later named — consistent with a suspension followed by closure/receivership. No discrete depositor run is described in the articles; the action appears triggered by payment interruptions from New York/correspondents and precautionary measures.

IN LOUISIANA PARTIAL BANK SUSPENSION IN NEW-ORLEANS. NEW-ORLEANS, Sept. 25.-At a meeting this morning of all the bank presidents in the city except two, it was resolved to pay no check for more than $100. All larger cheeks are to be certified, and the arrangement to continue 30 days. This action is considered precautionary to prevent a drain. The merchants generally approve of the course the banks have taken. It is understood that a meeting of the Cotton Exchange will be called to-morrow to approve of their action. There IS nothing doing on 'Change. There is no unusual excitement about the banks. p n.-The following address was issued by the banks of this city to-day The undersigned, incorperated banks and bankers of the City of New-Orleans, desire to inform the community of The motives which actuate them in partially suspending payment of currency upon their demand obligations, owing to a partial suspension of currency payments by the Associated Banks of New-York and other Northern cities and the consequent refusal of the West ern and other banks to receive checks on New-York, as in the regular course in the settlement of collections made here for their account. It is ascertained that a very large remittance of currency hence has been made upon peremptory orders within the past five days. To such an extent indeed has this prevailed that at the same rate only a few days must elapse before our vaults and the community would be entirely depleted of the means essential to the ordinary movements of trade. At the present moment foreign exchange is unsalable in New-York, and as we derive from this source our main supply of currency, we are now thus deprived of our only means of restoring the amounts lost by shipmeats to the West and the interior. We have therefore taken this step as a means of self-protection, and for the benefit of the agricultural as well as the commercial interests, and as the only means through which the incoming crops can be moved without ruinous sacrifice in prices. The duration of this protective policy is limited to a period of 30 days, during which time we are conftdent that the daily receipts of cotton and sugar will afford us a prompt and ready relief, and compel curreney to seek this market.

The Banks of New Orleans. ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENTS. The undersigned, incorporated banks and bankers of the city of New Orleans, desire to inform the community of the motives that actuate them in partially suspending the payment of currency upon their demand obligations. Owing to the partial suspension of currency payments by the associated banks of New York and other Northern cities, and the consequent refusal of Western and other banks to receive checks on New York, as in regular course in settlement of collections, made here for their account, it is ascertained that very large remittances hence have been made upon peremptory orders within the past five days. To such any extent, indeed, has this prevailed, that at the same rate only a few must before our would be entirely days community elapse vaults depleted and the of the means essential to the ordinary movements of trade. At the present moment, Foreign Exchange is unsalable in New York, and as we derive from this source our main supply of currency, we are now thus deprived of our only means of restoring the amounts lost by shipe ments to the West and to the interior. We have therefore taken this step, as a h means of self-protection, and for the benefit r of the agricultural as well as commercial e interests, and as the only manner through 11 which the incoming crops can be moved r without rninous sacifices in prices.
