    May 22 (Bloomberg) --
    Citizens National Bank of Macomb, Illinois, was closed by regulators, pushing the toll of failed U.S. lenders to 36 this year amid the longest recession since the 1930s.

    Citizens National was shut by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was named receiver, the FDIC said in a statement. The bank’s deposits were assumed by Morton Community Bank of Morton, Illinois.
