The state is also a largo depositor in the bank, covered by heavy bonds and is fully protected. Tile eity treasurer drew out a law sum on last Monday and about $l.'i.eini would have been required shortly after Jan. 1. A constant strciiui 01 curious people has been to the scene of the trouble all morning and the subject is the talk jof the commercial centers of St. l'aul. The bank was not a national one, but was organized under tile state bank ins net. It had always been rated as one of the strongest financial institu tions in the northwest, with many country correspondents and a direct line of exchange in tile leading cities of the I'nlted Stales, its deposits run Into tile millions yearly. William Dawson, jr.. cashier of the bank said: "Tin; cause of our suspen sion was inability to meet a severe sit uation on acocunt of depressed times for the past year, und especially of the past few mouths.

A steady run of savlnvts depositors on the Hibernian banking association and the Illinois Trust and Savings bank and the failure of tile Angus and liindele Contracting company, which Is credited with gel ting a loan of fc'fiii.iuiil from the failed National bank of Illinois mpriseil the developments of today in connec tion with Hie linauclal Hurry. Tlie Associated hanks have taken prompt, thorough and conservative ac tion to avoid a seiioui scare on the part of the nubile which has millions of dollars In savings recounts deposited with city banks. The Illinois Trust leads all the local banks in Its savings di posits, having nearly $1 J.tiiKt.nw. The llilu rnlan liank has not less than $:!.ltu. ntil) of such accounts. The solid show ing made by the banks which did not lean on the collapsed National bank bad a reassuring effect on the public tmlay when the morning papers were perused and the general feeling In the hiiuking community was that the worst was over so far as those Instii ut ions were concerned. There Is a fear In some quarters that the clearing house association limy not prelum; its offer to loan 7" per cent, of approved claims againut the National bank Illinois, and that will) the next ten days there may be a tightening of their purse strings. At a conferf in e of the savings banks of the city which was held when the. runs bccaii nt the Hibernian hall and Illinois Trust luniks it was unanimous ly agreed to adopt an unusual means towards checking what might become an epidemic of apprehension. Instead of attempting to allay the scare by paying all demands in full on the spot, the banks decided to stand upon their statuiory rignts and demand notice! of sixty days in cases of all withdraw i als exceeding $lflii.

From !C2 to sct tlie duty on an tlnacite coal was sixty cents a ton, from lstil to lxTti it was forty cents; and since then it has been on the free list for tlie reason that the quantity of an thracite coal produced outside the Cull ed Stales was, prior to S7u so infinitely small, that it was considered' an ab surdity to retain it on the dutiable list. Mill since then extensive lields of an thracite have been discovered near Swansea, Wales, from which the Cali fornia, importations come. Canada.
