absurd to suppose that the people who are depositors in our banks buy securities in Wall street. They board the greater Dart of the cash, making it of no use to any one. We have of late been sending to down-town banks and trust companies every day or two for $50,000, $25,000 and $40,000. This made our drain eventually a drag on the whole money market. Our action, or rather our advised course, will thus put a stop in a measure to one hole in the community's cash resources." BROOKLYN, July 29.-There was to-day a run on the Brooklyn Savings Bank. The Dime Savings Bank of Brooklyn. and the South Brooklyn Savings Bank were both compelled to put into operation to-day the thirty and eixty-day rule. The Germania Savings Bank of Kings county announces that they will put the same rule into operation on Monday morning.

RUN ON A SAVINGS BANKS. Brooklyn Banks Suffer from the Senseless Fright. NEW YORK, July morning the savings banks of this city, as a rule, began to take advantage of the sixty day time clause, where large amounts are concerned, or to check the withdrawal of money for hoarding or in senseless fright, but while nearly all banks claimed the privilege of using the time clause still in comparitively few instances was it applied. There did not seem to be any run anywhere. In Brooklyn the effect was somewhat different, and the notice caused several "runs," the greatest of which was on the Brooklyn Savings bank. When the doors opened this morning an enormous crowd was waiting to draw their money. Threats were made but as these were of no avail, the crowd went away in an ugly mood. Slight runs were also made on South Brooklyn Savings institution and the Dime Savings bank. The withdrawal of deposits at many of the city savings banks were quite heavy and the presidents pointed to the lines waiting at the windows as proof of the wisdom of the action in enforcing the sixty-day clause as advised on Monday, because while it brought depositors there, the notice prevented excited runs, which would have followed unconcerted action.

NEW YORK, July 31.-With 1 this morning the savings banks of this city, as a rule, began to take advantage of the sixty-day time clause, that Is the bank officials made use of the prerogative in cases where large amounts were concerned or where such action was deemed necessary to check the withdrawal of money. But while nearly all the banks claimed the privilege of using the time clause, still, in comparatively few instances was it used. A visit to the principal savings banks of this city this morning disclosed the fact that about the usual amount of business was being done, perhaps a trifle more than the average number of deposItors were waiting their turns to draw' money. But on the other hand in most of the banks there were corresponding lines of persons anxious to deposit money. The general impression seemed to be one of confidence in the banks. There did not seem to be anything like a run anywhere in this city. In Brooklyn the effect was somewhat different and the notice caused several runs. The greatest was on the Brooklyn savings bank. When the doors of the bank opened at 10 this morning an enormous crowd was waiting to draw its money. Threats were made, but as these were of no avail the crowd went away in an ugly mood. Slight runs were also made on the South Brooklyn savings institution and on the Dime savings. Call money was offered at 1/3 per cent. per diem and legal interest, but there was very little to be had at that rate until today, when a decline to 6 per cent. per annum took place. There is no time money nor is there anything doing in mercantile paper to speak of. There was a big demand at the subtreasury for transfer of silver dollars

THE SIXTY DAYS' NOTICE. New York Banks Take Advantage of It Several Small Runs. New York, July 31.-With this morning the savings banks of this city, as a rule, began to take advantage of the sixty days' time clause. that is. the bank officials made use of the prerogative where large amounts were concerned or where such action was deemed necessary to check the withdrawal of money for hoarding or in senseless fright. But, while nearly all the banks claimed the priv. ilege of using the time clause, still. in comparatively few instances. was it applied. In Brooklyn the effect was somewhat different and the notice caused several runs. The greatest was on the Brooklyn Savings bank. When the doors of the bank were opened at 10 o'clock this morning an enormous crowd was waiting to draw its money. Threats were made, but as these were of no avail the crowd went away in an ugly mood. Slight runs were also made on the South Brooklyn Savings institution and on the Dime Savings bank.
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.
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail… or worse.
