The Exchange Assignment and Miner Bank Collapse
The town of Dupkirk faced a calm, orderly wait as Miner’s Exchange Office closed and the assignee Holt prepared a partial list of preferred claims. Liabilities were estimated around 260000 to 270000 pounds, with notes payable due and no complete asset inventory yet. Public sentiment wavered between trust in Miner’s character and shock at the bank’s difficulties.
