Throughout the 1930's over 9,000 banks failed
I am unsure of how many failed in just 1929, but throught out the 1930's over 9,000 banks failed.
a situation in which many banks fail because they are not able to meet the demands of their depositors for cash
There were many millionaires in the 1930's. There were the Vanderbilts (known as American Royal Family) There were the Whitney's (The Whitney Museum Of American Art) The Morgans, the Asters, and many more.
The purpose was to save as many banks as possible and restore confidence in the banking system. Banks make money by lending out a part of the money that people deposit in them. If everybody with money in the bank tries to take their money out, the bank can not give it back at once and the bank fails. But, if people hear the bank is about to fail, they panic and try to get their money out, so the bank is sure to fail. This is what was happening and banks all over were failing. Roosevelt closed all the banks for a short time to stop the panic. Those that were sound were re-opened and depositors had their deposits insured against loss by the government.

lack of money
As the economic depression deepened in the early 30s, and as farmers had less and less money to spend in town, banks began to fail at alarming rates. During the 20s, there was an average of 70 banks failing each year nationally. After the crash during the first 10 months of 1930, 744 banks failed - 10 times as many. In all, 9,000 banks failed during the decade of the 30s. It's estimated that 4,000 banks failed during the one year of 1933 alone. By 1933, depositors saw $140 billion disappear through bank failures.
what did so many banks close during the great depression
Why? because of the Great Depression.
Banks fail when they disperse loans to customers who do not pay back their dues on time. In such cases these loans become NPA (Non Performing Assets) more commonly known as bad debt. If there are too many such debts the banks finances may end up badly affected and if the bank doesnt have enough cash reserves, it may go bust and fail.
