Globe National Bank of Boston closes after mining stock losses
The Globe National Bank of Boston is closed and placed in the hands of a temporary receiver led by Daniel G. Wing at Comptroller Dawes's request. Deposits exceed 8 million dollars, liabilities surpass 10 million, and officials say depositors will not lose money while losses fall on stockholders. The crisis traces to mining stock lending linked to the Three C group led by Charles L. Cole and partners. The Boston Clearing House advanced 3.5 million to aid the bank, but further help was refused.
