Twelfth Ward and Nineteenth Ware Banks Spenes of Great Activity Ir the Morning, but as the Newt ol Morgan's Company Backing th Banks Spread the Line of Withdraw ing Depositors Diminished to Noth ing. New York, Jan. 10. The trouble It banks of this city, which broke out or the failure of the Carnegie Trust com liany Saturday morning subsided yes terday as quickly as it started. Thi trouble was confined entirely to tht Madison Trust company and the Twelfth and Nineteenth Ward banks. Runs on these banks continued lr the morning, but gradually subsided as the day progressed. Every depositoi who wanted bis money was pate promptly. Small depositors from the East Side who don't read the papers and who die not understand that J. P. Morgan & Co., was backing the Twelfth Ware tank and the Nineteenth Ward bant and that the Equitable Trust companj has bought the Madison Trust compa ny were on hand early to draw oui their savings but. there was plenty 01 cash to meet all demands and ver naturally when the people found thej could get their money, many did nol want It and with cne exception tht line of waiting depositors dwindled away by lunch time and a considerable number of persons who withdrew money in the morning came back ir the afternoon to deposit the same sums aga'n. Biggest Run on 1th Ward Bank. The biggest run on the Interest de partment of the Nineteenth Ward bank's main ofllce at Third avenue and !i7 street. When the bank opened th line of waiting depositors covered several blocks. Those who wanted their money got it as fast as the teller could handle the books. Upstairs it the commercial part of the bank things were quiet and there wag nearly en much business done In taking In mon ey as in paying it out. The Nineteenth's branches at 152 Fif ty-fourth street, 180 East 72tid stree- and 140 East 86th street had lest trouble than the main hank. Prpslrlpnf Bradley Martin, Jr., figured that th days withdrawals from the bank and branches were less than a million and more than half the amount deposited. He said that there had been som large deposits. The bank had $1,500, 000 in currency on hand when II opened for business and a Utile aftoi 10 o'clock a taxi cab with $2."0,000 or board came up from the Fifth Aveniu bank. President Frank B. French of th Twelfth Ward bunk was on band ear ly at the bank's main office at Wi Kast 12r.th street. The line at tht Twelfth Ward bank was never Ions enough to extend out into the street and It dwindled almost to nothing at ter A. S. Nichols, president of tht Harlem Board of Trade, came In -and made a speech to the uneasy deposit ors reminding them of the powerful Interests that had come to the aid ol the bank and advising them not K draw out money unless they needed it At the Twelfth Ward's branch nt Third I'ver.ne and Sixth street a large num ber of small dnposlts were drawn out Trust Company Did Normal Business. The Madison Trust company at Hf main ofllce, Fifth avenue and 60tt Mreet, did business in the usual wai and the line of depositors was alwayt longer than that made up of those whe wished to draw out their money. 11 was said that less than $100,000 was withdrawn. The Madison Bowery branch paid out money to a considerable number oi small depositors, but there was nont in line after 12 o'clock. In all of the banks and their branch es notices of the backing promised tt the banks by J. p. Morgan & Co. w.?re posted. It was apparent at most of the branches that the day had teen tht end of the run although it is probable that there will le some withdrawals today. The Usual Way.
