Bank Failure Shocks Pittsburg Financial Market
Panic surrounds the July 7 closing ordered by the Acting Controller of the Currency for the First and Second National Bank of Pittsburgh. Deposits total about £6,000,000 with £1,200,000 capital, amid further closures and a receivership application for the American Waterworks and Guarantee Company. Bank directors cite a rigid examiners’ inquiry and a £800,000 sterling shortage, and link the turmoil to a tight money market affecting Pittsburgh banking and related firms led by W. S. Kuhn and J. S. Kuhn.
