Description
Contemporary newspaper (Nov 12, 1873) reports the Merchants/ Merchant's Savings bank suspended on Nov. 12, 1873. No mention of a depositor run, reopening, or receivership in the provided article. Given the timing (Panic of 1873) many suspensions became permanent; no explicit reopening evidence is present, so I classify as suspension_closure. Article OCR shows 'Merchant's Savings bank' — matched to provided bank name. City spelled 'Pittsburg' in source; kept as provided.
