patches report the suspension of the Pike County Bank at Louisana, Missiouri to-day. It is said that the depositors will be paid, but there will be little left for the stockholders. CINCINNATI, July 11.-The National Bank Examiner for Indiana has closed the First National Bank of Delhi on account of a run upon the bank, owing to the failure of Dugan, Case & Spears, of Chicago, Dugan being president of the bank. The assets are said to be $50,000 in excess of liabilities. Sr. LOUIS, July 14.BB M. Chambers, president of the Butchers' and Dovers bank of this city: makes an announcement this morning of the suspension of that bank. He says only fifty per cent. of the capital stock has been paid in, leaving $130,000 to be derived from that source if found necessary to secure depositors. Sr. LOUIS, July 14.-A run was started this afternoon On the Boatman's Savings bank, but the bank kept its doors open until 6:30 o'clock this evening, and promptly met all demands. The run was not very general, the largest single amount drawn being $300. The business of the bank progressed nearly as usual, and the amonnt received by it amounts to nearly half as much as was paid out. Runs were also made on the Union Savings association, North St. Louis Savings association, Franklin avenue German Savinger Lucas bank, Lafayette bank, Citizens' and Bank of St. Louis; but they were in no sense extensive. The demands were almost exclusively made by small depositors of the laboring class, and were met promptly, except in some cases where time deposits were called for and the banks stood upon the usual sixty day's notice. The aggregate drawn from each bank was comparatively small, and was easily met. Very few, if any, regular merchants or business men joined in the rans Sr. LOUIS, July 16. The North St. Louis Savings Association closed. its doors at half past ten. No statement has yet been made by its officers or directors. The Bank of St. Louis has closed its doors. The President, Jacob S. Merrill, says the depositors will be paid in time. 6P. M.-It is stated on good authority that all the large banks have declared their purpose to pay no more time certificates, except.in cases where distress or an unusual need of money is clearly shown. The Globe-Democrat special from Louisana, Missouri says at a meeting of the stockholders of the Pike county bank to-day, the directors reported the total liabilities of the bank at $115,000; net value of the assets about $70,000. The statement 16 made that depositors would receive dollar for dollar if time is granted. The capital of the bank was $400,000 with filteen per cent. paid in. The flurry of Saturday, occasioned by the condition of the banks, contrary to expectation, did not subside yesterday, but continued to-day and was materially strengthened towards noon by the elosing. of the North St. Louis Saving Association and the Bank of St. Louis. As on Saturday, however, the persons engaged in the run are almost wholly confined to small depositors of savings institutions and small shop keepers. No merchants or business men of any pretensiors are taking part in it. The four per cent. Government bonds and all securities, even those which command a premium, are being sought after or investment. BOSTON, July 17.-The Commissioner of Savings Banks has enjoined the Havenbill, Mass., Savings Bank from doing further business. ST. LOUIS, July 17,--The enforcement of the 30 days notice rules has stopped theyrunned the banks. The Brewer Savings bank closed to-day.
