New Hampshire Bank Failures. Withdrawal of deposits compelled the Security Trust company of Nashua, N. H., to close its doors. It will pay all liabilities. The capital and surplus amount to $250,000. Bank Commissioner James C. Lyford served the papers last Saturday evening, closing the doors -of the New Hampshire Trust company of Manchester, N. H. This action was taken after full consultation with the officers of the institution, and for the protection of its depositors and creditors. The proceedings were similar to those pursued in the case of the Security Trust company of Nashua, with the expectation that the suspension of business will be but temporary. They were simply of a precautionary nature, enabling the institution to realize cash from the assets, without sacrificing them in a falling market. The company has a paidup capital of $500,000. The bank of New England and the National bank of the Commonwealth of Manchester suspended Monday. The former had a capital of $100,000 and the latter $200,000. It is thought that there will be no loss to depositors.
