HINTS AT DARK WAYS Says Uniik Was A'lctiin Other Bank ing Circles of Portland Quiet. Portland, Nov. 12. That the bank will re-open with ample funds se cured from liquidation of some of Its securities, Is the belief of J. Frank "Watson, president of the Merchants' National Bank of this city, which temporarily suspended business 'to day.
