Making excess of assets, $179.56. The expenses of liquidation are estimated at $15,000, which will leave a deficit instead of a surplus. In addition to the assets already given, it m: be stated that there are several other items, such as rents due but not collected, United States rev nite aes alleged to have been improperly exacted by the government and patd by the bank ‘ander protest, and for which suits have been entere ‘These items amount to s: $5,000, and may be realized, but have not been counted in the assets. Should any considerable aoe of the $58,234 classed as doubtful be col- ected, the bank will be able to liquidate all its abilities without requiring the stockholders to make good any deficiency. Should recourse tothe stockholders be necessary, the receiver estimates that of the $120,000 Capital of the bank $140,000 is held by persons who are re- sponsible for an amount equal to the stock held by them, and with this reserve fund to fall back on the receiver feels sanguine of his ability to meet the Habilities of the bank. As to the line when the affairs of the bank can be closed the committee have been unable to obtain any zetinite date, but mere reason to anticipate a first dividend of perhaps 10 per cent. some time in March.

All claims should be presented within three months from the date of the receiver's notice or they may be barred. The report was adopted, and Mr. Kowala was authorized to select the committee at his leisure.
