Article Text

It is to be observed that in twenty-one States and Territories there have been no !ailures of National banks, viz: In Alaska, Arizona. Arkansas, Connecticut. Delaware, District of Columbia, Idabo, Indian Territory, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. It is further worthy of note that no National banks have failed in Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati. St. Louis, New-Orleans, San Francisco, Minneapolis, St. Pan! and numbers of other great commercial centres: and that but one has closed in New-York, two in Chicago. and one In Milwankee. The cause of the failures in NewYork and Chicago was due largely to mismanagement, as were numbers of others. Local scares have caused many of late to suspend. Nine of the banks failed were robbed by officials who are now under arrest. The following National banks have been authorIzed by the Controller of the Currency to resume business: Gate City National Bank, Atlanta, Ga.: First National Bank. Los Angeles, Cal.: First National Bank, San Diego, Cal.: First National Bank, Santa Ana, Cal.: First National Bank, San Bernardino, Cal.: Southern California National Bank, Los Angeles, Cal.: Merchants' National Bank. Fort Worth, Tex.: Second National Bank, Ashland, Ky.: Capital National Bank, Indianapolis.: First National Bank, Palouse City, Wash.: Washington National Bank, Spokane Falls, Wash.: National Bank of Commerce. Provo City, Utab: First National Bank. Cisco, Texas: Missouri National Bank, Kansas City, Mo. Many more will reopen, as the majority of those recently failed are absolutely solvent, and only closed through an unwarranted lack of confidence in them, causing disastrous runs. Resume: Number now in operation, 3,785: number failed since January 1, 1893. 105; number reopened, 14: number In hands of receivers, 33: number In hands of Bank Examiners, with application to Controller for resumption, 58.
