RECEIVERSHIP COSTS OF BANK 2 PER CENT The Hamilton Press, published at Hamilton, Ill., carries a statement made by J. M. Kilpatrick, receiver for the First National bank of that city, in which the receiver calls attention to the fact that the liquidation cost to date is only a little less than three per cent of the total collections. The liquidation cost, Kilpatrick's report states, is lower than that of any of the other trusts now under liquidation in his territory, with the exception of the Quincy-Ricker National bank of Quincy, where the cost amounts to only a little more than two per cent. Frank W. McRoberts, receiver for the Ayers National bank, is receiver for the Quincy bank. The report of the Hamilton bank receiver shows dividends of 50 per cent have been paid to unsecured creditors.
