Withdrawal of notes
On 13 October 1888 the Secretaría de Hacienda gave the Banco de Santa Eulalia six months to call in their notes. The bank’s directors had to produce a list of the notes in circulation within two weeks, and make public announcements of their intention to withdraw their notes. They then had to give a weekly report to the Secretaría of the number of notes cancelled.
On 22 October 1888, in response to a request by the bank’s president, Tomás Macmanus, the date on which to begin withdrawing its notes was put back to 1 January 1889: this was then postponed again until 1 March, and finally to 1 April, by which time the bank had negotiated the contract for the new Banco Comercial.
Incinerations
The Secretaria de Hacienda admitted that it did not know how many notes the bank had issuedMemoria de la Secretaría de Hacienda correspondiente al ejercicio fiscal de 1884 á 1885, Mexico, 1885.
Under the terms of the concession for the new Banco Comercial, all the Banco de Santa Eulalia notes were withdrawn and burnt. On 30 November 1889 $56,500 in notes were incinerated in front of the Administrador de Rentas del Estadooficio núm. 13 of Interventor Ahumada, 8 January 1892 in Memoria de las Instituciones de Crédito Correspondiente a los años de 1897, 1898, y 1899: on 12 September 1890 $60,000 were incinerated, and the bank expected them all to go by NovemberEl Siglo Diez y Nueve, Mexico City, 17 September 1890. These may have been included in the later $108,000 total; on 27 September 1890 $108,000 were destroyed in the presence of Miguel Ahumada, the Interventor, and finally $26,000 were destroyed on 7 January 1892, again in Ahumada’s presenceoficio núm. 13 of Interventor Ahumada, 8 January 1892 in Memoria de las Instituciones de Crédito Correspondiente a los años de 1897, 1898, y 1899.
