The failure of the Philadeiphia Real Datate Trust company, yesterday, has emphasized the fact so often announced by the press of the country, in telegrams and editorials, that realty speculation in most sections has run riot. In the adjoining column is presented a good article on the subject from the Chicago Financial World. It is well for Albuquerque that this craze has not struck this city. Realty here is in good demand, and there is considerable movement, but there has been no boom and fortunately there seems no danger of inflated speculation.

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.
