However, the Official of the bank deny that worthless or hffcuf fleient securities have been accepted for loans. They say all the paper and ether collateral held by the Gosmopoliian is collectible and that the bank is solvent and able to pay all Its liabilities. Further than to state that the bank is insolvent neither examiner Cunning ham or Judge Oldham, of the logal de partment of the comptroller of the cur rency. who arrived here from Washing ton early today, would commit then - selves.
