D. COOKE & CO. SUSPEND, ‘The Suspension Described as an Hon- erable One — Unsecured Liabilities $140,000, and Nominal assets $163,000 —A Belief that all the Liabilities Will be Promptly Met-No Other Banks Affected, Etc. The door of H. D. Cooke & Co.’s bank, 1429 F street, was ciosed this morning and the following notice, Written on a letter sheet, was posted upon one of the glass panels: “\WABHINGTON, Oct. 28, 1884. Owing to inability to meet pressing demands we deem it expedient and for the best interests of all concerned to suspend temporarily. HH. D. CooKE & Co.” ‘The news of the suspension was rapidly spread ‘through the city and there were many inguirers soon gathered about the banking house. The mem- ‘bers of the finn are Mr.Henry D.Cooke and Mr. Allen G. Campbell. Mr. Campbell ts now in Utah. Mr. Cooke remained at his brother's house this morning and was represented to be in great dis- tress over the occurrence. ‘The condition of the affairs of the bank, as stated tn round figures this morning, were that the abilities were $170,000, of ‘which $30,000, representing paver held by banks in ‘the city, are secured, the remaining $140,000 repre- ‘senting deposits. The assets were stated nominally ‘at $108,000, including telephone stock and Florida canal stock. There is aiso held by the bank, it 1s stated, $91,000 of W. 0. W. railroad stock, which ts ‘said to be Une individual property of Mr. Campbell. ‘THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. ‘The closing of the bank was decided upon this morning before banking hours, after a conference between Mr. Henry D. Cooke and a number of gentlemen prominent in banking circies. Ald was. tendered the firm to quite a large amount, but they deemed it prudent to suspend rather than Jecpardize the money of ‘rlenas. ‘One of the gentlemen who was present at this conference stated to a Stax reporter: “The fallure 4s entirely honorable. ‘The tirm goes down having ‘Ube sympathy of the entire banking and business community, The deposits have run down from nearly half a million to $140,000. The firm has bravely weathered the storm up to date, but finally, the assets having Deen exhausted, has been compelled to succomb. The firm dealt largely with speculators and in some instances has by speculators not coming forward to put up mar- gms. The heavy shrinkage of securities continued until the firm had no assets to meet current de- mands. Mr. Cooke’s partner, Mr. Allen G. Camp- bell, is president of the German bank of Leaven- worth, Kan. He ts one-third owner of the Wash- ingion and Ohio railroad, and has other large in- Lerests, his Income from the Hora silver mine alone being over $60,000 per annum. There ts hardly any doubt that the depositors will be fully paid and at an early date.” Banking officers here say that the fatlure will Produce fo purceptibie effect in. business circles ere, because it had really been anticipated for sometime. “In fact,” said one of these gentlemen, “all the Danks here’ have now on hand « much larger amount of currency tian Is required by the deman f business or pruyent banking, because At has been feared Mal politica! events of this fall Would disturb monetary matters.” STATEMENT BY ME. COOKE TO A STAR REPORTER. ‘Mr. Cooke stated to a reporter that he preferred not to discuss the matter of the suspension until he had seen his partner, Mr. Campbell, who Is ab- Sent in the west, and whom be had been endeavor- Ing to Teach by'telecrapi and been unabie to do, “The gause of the failure,” Mr. Cooke said, “1s attributable to shrinkage of values and the gen- eral distrust which prevails regarding everything and everybody, and the consequent inability 10 ecoliect debts due the firm and the carrying out of contracts tn their favor. My partner, Mr. Camp- bell, 1s absent tn the west and is uninformed as the action that I have assumed the resposibillty of taking. Our actual liabilities, of every sort what- ever, after deducting offsets on our books, 1s about $140,000. Thave no doubt that the asseta%bf the firm, including raliroad and land interests, and deducting every questionabie debt due us, are more than ample to pay off every lability.” WHAT ME. COKSON, CONFIDENTIAL CLERK OF THE FIRM, SAYS. From Major John W. Corson, who is confidential clerk of the house, it ts learned that the total Indebtedness of the firms $170,000, of which amount $30,000 is fully secured. The labliities are nearly all due to Washington creditors, there pene: only a Tew thousand dollars due to creditors in Ba egeel ‘New York and Chicago, The indebtedness to Washington bankers ls abundantly secured. Major Corson says there is every reason to believe tnat: the tirm will be abie, with the ald of some indul- gence as to time, to pay all their liabilities In Tull. ‘The assets ave not great, but he says they are probably suifictent wo meet all Habllities Aside from this, he says Mr. Campbell ts responsible, and is able to meet all the debts of the Drm. He 1s now. in Utah, but has been telegraphed for and will probanly, return to the city af once. The depositors, r. Corson thinks, have no reason to be anxious. He sald the statement made above, to the effect that last January the Mabilities of the bank were $400,000, was about correct, and that Mr. Cooke had ‘Succeeded in reducing them to $170,000. The state- ment that bankers in the city had offered to furnish money to the firm to meet present demands he belleved was true. As to the cause of the failure, he sald it was for want of money on but beyond that he would give no reason, sayiug, how- ever, that Mr. Cooke had acted perteculy honorable. IT IS ALSO LEARNED AT THE BANK that the suspension resuits from unfortunate in- vestments, dating back a number of years. The firm’s unsecured Mabilities ainounted to about $00,000 last January, and they have steadily been paid off since that time, until they are now reduced ‘Lo $140,000, The firm has at last reached a point, however, where the remaining assets prove to be unavaliable for Immediate use in the market, and Can be realized upon only by good management and Waiting for suitable opportunities.

AT LESTER BARTLETT'S RESIDENCE. A STR reporter Unis morning called at the rest- dence of Mr. Lester Bartlett, who was formerly connected with the firm, but found that he was in New York. His father said that Mr. Bartlett had ‘sold out his interest in the business about a year ago for $109,000, and had no connection with it. Mr. Bartlett expressed his surprise at the suspen- sion. ‘THERE WAS VERY LITTLE EXCITEMENT occasioned by the failure. There were never more than six or eight persons around the door ata Ume. One depositor sald to a Star that he had deposited $1,500 with the firm yesterday. “I don’t know anything about the Cooke fallure,” said an old bank Official, “but DP’ bet nobody can accuse Harry Cooke of {raud.” SOME OF THE TALK ON THE STREETS. - ‘The general talk on the streets among specula- tors and others was sympathettc towards Mr. Cooke and expressive of confidence in his integrity and the final setulement of all claims on his bank ‘It was said that the bank would pay dollar for dol- Jar, and when any doubt was expressed as to this, ‘the doubter was eer y offerred a dollar for any Paperhe might hold. ‘There was general willing- ness to Duy up any paper of Cooke's for 75 cents on ‘the doliar, on the supposition that It:was worth Its face valve. The general expression Was of sympa- thy for Mr. Cooke, and the kindly hope that be would come out all right. RESOLUTIONS OP THE WASHINGTON STOCK EXCHANGE. ‘The following resolutions, which were offered each individually, express the strongest: wish, hope, and desire that he may soon recover from the te embarassment which las over- matters. ML GEORGE H. B WHITE'S OPINION. Mr. George H. B.

Mr. Bateman, the banker, says: “Mr. Cooke has the earnest sympathy of all the bankers in the city. I have no doubt from what I know of Mr. Gonke’s affairs that the assets tar excocd the lis- ues, and his suspension, In my opinion, will be Dut porary.
