FAILURE ANOTHER BANK PEOPLE'S BANK OF PAINESVILLE, OHIO, CLOSED. Suspension Due to the Troubles of Euclid Avenue Company of Cleveland. PAINESVILLE, Ohio. January 11.-The People's Bank of this city closed its doors today, on account of the suspension of the Euclid Avenue Trust and Savings Company of Cleveland. Dr. H. C. Brainard is vice president and C. H. Stewart a director of the local bank. A big run was expected on the bank this morning, which it was thought would be impossible to meet. The assignment was made to Harley Barnes, vice president of the Pioneer Trust Company of this city. No statement of assets and liabilities has yet been made. A statement issued by the bank October 1 last showed its total resources to be $230,640; capital stock paid in, $50,000; individual deposits, $173,640; undivided profits, $7,000. G. G. Grant. one of the directors of the bank, made the following statement today: "There is no reason why the bank should not pay every dollar. This bank was run independent of the Cleveland bank, and its securities are independent. It is impossible to realize quickly on securities, on account of close connections, but we have less than $500 with the Cleveland bank." CLEVELAND, January 11.-President Brainerd has given out the following statement concerning the condition of the affairs of the Euclid Avenue Trust and Savings Company: "I am sure that the bank is in a solvent condition and that the depositors will not lose one penny which the bank holds in trust. The stringency in financial circles made it impossible for the bank to meet the heavy demands made on its commercial accounts. Among the large depositors were many small banks, which require large amounts of money at this time of the year. The deposits failed to keep pace with the withdrawals from this source, which by no means were abnormal, and the assignment was the result."
