Abstract

The panic of 1907 witnessed a premium upon money in New York lasting two months and rising as high as 4 per cent., 290–293.—The extent of hoarding on the part of the public is roughly indicated by the amount of money that disappeared from the banks, 293; and by the number of safe deposit boxes rented in New York and other cities, 294–296.—The banks of the South and West aggravated the situation by accumulating abnormal reserves, 296–299.
