The Commercial and the Second Ward banks were crowded to. day with depositors in their savings departments who are giving notice in order that at the end of the thirty or sixty days, whichever it 18 according to the law in their case, they will withdraw their savings, The officials of both institutions, however, feel no alarm.

The banks reorganized since the panic have been placed on a better footing than they previously enjoyed.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. Milwaukee, Wis., June 12.-The Moore Cycle Company, of South Milwaukee, manufacturers of bicycles, assigned last night to Max Ascher. Assets $200,000; liabilities considerable less. The assignment was precipitated by the failure of the Moore Manufacturing and Foundry Company a few days ago. A. E. Fletcher, the confidential man of the assignee of William Plankinton, testified in court yesterday that after all of the assets of the defunct Plankinton Bank have been collected there will still be a shortage of from $250,000 to $300,000. The total indebtedness of the bank was $1,450,000. This evidence was brought out in a suit which has been instituted to compel the stockholders in the defunct bank to pay their liabilities as stockholders to the assignee. It was also shown by the answer of the William Sanderson estate, one of the alleged stockholders, that the estate never owned any stock in the bank.
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.
