INSTITUTION CLOSED AND OWES
OVER A MILLION DOLLARS —
OTHER BANKS IN THE CITY
ARE NOT AFFECTED.
Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 9.—The
Mercantile Bank, which was consid
ered one of the most important fi
nancial institutions of the city, was
ordered to remain closed today.
In a petition filed in Chancery
court, ten of the directors alleged
a misappropriation of more than
three quarters of a million dollars
by C. Hunter Rain, the bank’s presi
dent. This fact has rendered me
bank insolvent, and its affairs have
been turned over to the State Sup
erintendent of Banks.
All the other Memphis hanks open
ed at the usual hour, and it was sn^»
that none of them will be affected
seriously by the troubles of the Mer
cantile Bank.
According to the directors* peti
tion, Rain is charged with a short
age of $788,804. It is alleged that
he secured this amount “by a sys
tem of handling drafts, proffered for
exchange, in such a way as to de
ceive detectives, thus concealing his
manipulations.” It Is alleged tfiat
he lost this sum In speculation.
The petition filed today places
the liabilities of the bank at slight
ly more than two million dollars,
while its assets are less than a mil
lion and a half.
