Ilen Directors of the inexcamizs
Bank, in Memphis. File in-
solvency Petition
MEMPHIS, Tcnn., Feb. 9.~——Tcn di‘
. rectors of the Mercantile Bank, one of
the most important financial institu-
tions in the city. today tiled a petition
in chancery court charging that the
bank was insolvent as the result or
the alleged misappropriation of more
than $750,000 by C. Hunter Raine. pres-
ident of the institution.
in the petition Raine was held sole-
Ily responsible for the apparent short~
Iago. approximately $788,804, which it
Ila charged he obtained “by, a system
Iof handling its drafts, property and
exchange in such a way as to deceive
the directors and to conceal his ma~
nipfilatlons," the total amount of
. ulatlon
The petition places the liabilities of
the bank at approximately $2196 89-1,
with assets 0181,408089. in a pub-
lished statement January 9, liabilities
were given as $2,436,197. At that time
the total deposits were $1,861,109, at
which $844,233 were savings accounts.
.The bank is capitalized at $200,000
and has a surplus of $100,000.
Resources, ioansand discounts at
the time of the statement amounted
to 31,130,496; actual cash on hand was
$324,684: sums due from other banks
1amounted to $480,165; cash items in
Itransltamounted to $137,778. These
:amounts. with other items, balanced,
I the amount given as liabilities.
The alleged discrepancy was discov-
,erod by a representative of a fiery
;York correspondent of the bank who
was sent to Memphis last week to an
’dlt the books of the Mercantile Bank
I when loans requested were found to be
iout of proportion to the amounts us-
Iuaily asked for at this season of the
year. His report to the directors yes»-
'terday, which brought the situation to
a. climax was the first intimation that
the bank was not in a. prosperous con-
dition, according to the directors.
it is stated that President Raine,
who attended yesterday's meeting, ab-‘
solved all of the officers and directors
of the bank of implication in the alleg-
ed shortage and tendered his personal
iestate, which he valued at $350,000, to
Ithe bank. So far he has made no for-
‘ mal statement.
The bani. was ordered to remain
closed today by the state banking 001-,
Chile who are making an investlntion
of the bank“ a affairs. it is net known
whether the investigation will be
completed.
