All eyes then turned to the Los Angeles National on the opposite corner. Another large crowd was in front of the First National and the Farmers and Merchants' bank. While there had been all sorts of rumors upon the street about the former. but few people in the crowd. a large majority of whom were curiosity seekers, doubted for a moment that the doors would be open at the usual hour. But a notice was placed upon the doors of the First National to the effect that. owing to a heavy run upon the bank. amounting to over $69,000. the bank was closed by order of the board of directors. The East Side bank doors bore the following notice: "On account of not being able to cash New York and San Francisco exchange, we are compelled to close our doors. Depositors will be paid in full." A. Gerberding, one of the state commissioners, arrived here yesterday. He is now in charge of the state banks. the City and the University, which suspended yesterday. Gerberding says that, from a cursory examination of the University bank. made last night, he found that the bank owes $14,000 and has $80,000 assets. Gerberding says that idiotic would not be too strong a term to apply to the senseless run on the banks here now. as they were never in better condition. Promptly at 10 ''clock this morning the Los Angeles National bank opened its doors. A long line of depositors, stretching along the curbstone, extending north on Spring street for over 100 feet, was on hand under police escort, to take their turns in entering the bank. Just before the iron gates swung open. Major Bonebrake appeared on the steps, bareheaded as he appeared yesterday, and, addressing the crowd. said: "Not a depositor of this vault will lose a dollar of his money, for the bank can pay two dollars for one. I appeal to the depositors to have patience." The speech was greated with cheers. The bank made satisfactory terms with its depositors. The Farmers' and Merchants' bank had a strong pull on its coffers. The officers declared that they were prepared to meet any demand. President J. M. Elliott the First National said: "When this thing commenced. we had over $800,000 in cash on hand and, with our correspondent subject to check at sight. considered ourselves, from the class of paper held. in most excellent condition. The unprecedented run of the past two days, during which we have paid checks of over $600,000, was mere than we could stand. The amount of our liabilities to depositors will he somewhere in the vicinity of $1,250,000, against which we have all our bills receivable. our capital and our surplus, which will amount in the aggregate to $500,000 more than this sum." The Broadway bank. on the corner of Sixth street and Broadway, failed to open this morning. Against the glass of the door was a notice that depositors would be paid. The only liabilities are call deposits of $12,000; certificates of deposit due in September. $10,000; total. $22,000. The bank's commercial loans, well secured.

FAILURES. SAN FRANCISCO, June 24-The concerted opinion of the bankers of San Francisco is that the Pacific bank was compelled to suspend as much on account of unwise investments as on account of the money stringency throughout the coast. The reason for the suspension of the People's Home Savings bank was its connection with the Pacific bank and the certainty that a run would be made upon it immediately upon the announcement of the failure of the Pacific bank It had not enough money to stand a run. The flurry seems to have passed over, and no anxiety is felt that other banks will succumb. ST. LOUIS, June 24-William T. Haydock, carriage manufacturer, has as signed. The assets are $150,000.
