DKNVKK, July 2 :. The timorous feeling imong leno. itors in the Denver hanks, which has resulted in the closing of a num ber of these institutions this week, seen. s at hist to have reached its limit and the people are now stopping to think, with the result that mure money is heint; deposited than is lieinK withdrawn. Durins the day talk on the streets wa:- much more con servative and rational. During the after noon the five national hanks that are sail open for business showed no signs of any unusual excitement nniouj t heir pat rons. Indeed, their banking houses vire quieter than 'on many day clurinc ordinary times, and everybody seems to feel that the e:::l of the wholly uujustiiiable excitement has In-en reached. Three More Hank Suspensions. The Uerman, People's and State Na tional banks suspemhsl payment and closed their doors in the moriiini;. The German and Mate banks did not open at all, posting notices just before 10 o'chnk announcing the suspension. The People's hank was open for half an hour, but whin the closing of the tv; other institutions became known the directors thought it best to close without further delay. De positors in the German bank gathered in line early in the morning and the crowd itrew so formidable before 10 o'clock that the ofiiciuls saw that it would be useless to attempt to inert a!i demands. A smuIU-r crowd gathered at the M .;r with t he sane.' result. The b.-tiik posted a notice dccl-ir Ingtnat it was perlectly solvent, but una ble to j,- jviile funds to meet the extraor dinary run. Working Tropic Were Waititi. Those who were wait'ngto withdraw their money from the iicrman National were the smaller depositors, mostly work ingmcn and women who had deposited their entire savings in tne lunik and were naturally excited. The absence of business men from the line was a noticeable feature. Borne of those who were there had arrived as early as ti o'clock, and from that hour on to the twin of opening the line contin ued to lengthen. When-the notice was posted announcing the suspension there was a general stampede for the doors, nli being anxious to read the announcement, tut there was no show of hostile demon Btration on the part of the assembled de positors, and the police ofiicers who had been posted there to keep order had little trouble in disposing of the crowd. Despite the naturally tryi ig condition of things the people were remarkably cool, and aside from one or two women who broke into tears when they learned that the bank would not open there was little display of feeling. SceniHto He I'retty Well Heeled. The Peoples' bank posted n notice to the effect that it was closed, but had net as sets of Sl.ino.not-nnil liabilities of :ili),0o0.At 11 a.m. a run which Was started on the First National bank was completely broken and quiet was restored. The run was caused principally by those who were near nt hand when notices declaring the sus pension of the fierman and State National were posted. These people at once became panic-stricken, though' the remarkably strong condition of the First National is a matter of common knowledge. Around the Denver National, Colorado National. American National and City National banks all was quiet. There were very feu calls for money and a few those who Ii.mI withdrawn from the suspended batiks doubtless repenting their hasty and wholly unjustifiable, actions in aiding in closing the suspended concerns, were depositing in the banks that yet remained r.'iieii. BANK OFFICERS WERE HOPEFUL. All the Closed Concerns Confident of l';iv ing Their Iell. Among the ollicers of tin-banks which were open for business l he expre-.-ien was unanimous t hat the Hurry was nr, an end and that the people wokild now see tie folly of their actions in forcing a suspen sion of the banking institutions by all withdrawing their deposits at once i:ni taking from circulation ail the money that would ordinarily How thr.uigh the regu lar channels and help in su-taining the business public and t he banks, 'l'l.e us pended banks all had much mo.-e than enough money to he considered a perfect K safe guaranty in ordinary circumstances, anil with business nt its no-ma 1 condition would have laughed nt the idea of a run. Cashier Charles M. Clinton, of the Ger man National, stated that during the past three months over 1,(N0,iiiii in deposits had leen withdrawn and the continual drain together with the run Tuesday iiad placed the bank in such n condition that n temporary suspension was an absolute necessity, and that Frank Adams, bank examiner for the district, had taken charge. Every dollar in deposit s would be paid in tiriie. Bank Examiner Adams snid ho lelieved id: the banks would re sume in a short time, and every officer of these banks is confident of reopening. They all claim and the claim seems cor rect abundant good assets. A tour of the banks just before their closing hour showed that nil excitement had died away, and there was not the leas 4 semblance of a "run." The officers of al! the banks stated '.hat they were taking in more money than they were paying out. The morning train from Omaha brought. In 50,000 in cash for the Denver National. Another bank received two iron safes full of money from the east by express. Fred II. llanchett, the Capitol bank, and ptephens, Ilanchett & Co., of Curtis street. Latest U. S.
