RECEIVERS OF ' WILD BANK TO STUDYASSETS Announcement Cannot Be Made at Once; Securities Sold by Bank Good. It will be some time before receivers will be able to determine assets and liabilities of the J. F. Wild & Cos. State Bank, Receivers E. H. Iglehart and Richard declared in a statement today after receiving the audit from the State banking department and formally taking over affairs. The statement pointed out to holders of bonds, stocks and other securities said by the bank that they should feel no anxiety as the securities are as good as they were before the bank closed. Analysis Necessary The audit “will require a detailed analysis by competent persons before the receivers will be able to determine the ratio between assets and liabilities,” the statement said. “It will also be necessary to carefully survey the assets of the bank with a view to determining what can be realized on promptly and without sacrifice, for the purpose of 'paying the largest possible dividend in the shortest possible time. Preference Claimed "Certain depositors are claiming a preference and it may be necessary for those claims to be determined in order to ascertain the amount of unsecured, or unpreferred, claims of ordinary depositors before the rate of a dividend can be ascertained. “It is also necessary to adjust the depositors’ accounts with items that have been returned, checks on which payment has been stopped, etc., in order to show the true balance in each depositor’s account, so as to know what each depositor 'is entitled. This will take some time, but most of these matters can be handled simultaneously. As soon as the receivers have arrived at any definite conclusion in these matters it will be given out to the persons concerned.” ' A meeting of 3,600 depositors of 1 the bank, headed by J. J. Davis will be held next week. Three special committees of the general group are meeting daily. The committee represent deposits of about $3,000,000.
