Bank closes amid speculation and debt troubles in Washington
The banking house of N. D. Cook & Co. in Washington, D. C. suspended operations following heavy losses from railroad stock speculation. Assets are valued at about $102,000 with liabilities around $140,000. Debtors will likely be paid in full from collateral, but bank holdings cannot be realized at value. Reports confirm Mr. Cook aims to resume, and a $30,000 bridge loan was offered but declined.
