A rumor got into circulation that there was a run on the Fifth Avenue Trust Company. with offices at Fifth avenue and 43d street, but Cecil D. Landale, the second vice-president, denied the truth of the report. He said that at one time there were as many as forty persons in the bank withdrawing money, but scoffed at the idea of a run. He said the company was of great strength and had ample funds on hand to satisfy all depositors who wanted money, without even applying to outside institutions. At the Lincoln National Bank, in East 42d street, there were a few withdrawals, but Charles Elliott Warren, the cashier, said the number of depositors who were asking for funds was so small as to signify nothing. He added that the bank had opened seventy accounts in the last two days, which scarcely betokened a lack of confidence. At an early hour this morning sixteen men were in line in front of the building, stamping and chaffing each other to keep awake and warm until the beginning of business. There was no disorder and the line was attracting no outside attention.
