Seventh National Bank Fails Sparks Clearing House Debate
The Seventh National Bank suspension triggers a rush by country banks to withdraw deposits, with $946,000 in out of town demands and about $300,000 in checks and drafts outstanding. Officials cite unsatisfactory collateral from Marquand & Co and plan a reorganization, while the Clearing House argues aid has never been denied to solvent members. The bank faces an estimated loss near $900,000 with liabilities about $5.16 million and stockholders liable for roughly $753,300.
