End Of the Financial Panic in England.
From the London Times NAV 1871


The panic may be said to have passed array
as suddenly as 1t arose. On Saturday the city
breathed again; yesterday the wonted feeling
OF security had almost returned, and Suspicion
was no longer master OF the situation. COM
merce has had its crises before, but it must be
confessed that none has ever come upon us SO
sharply and so suddenly as that from when
we are now escaping. The week before last
nay, as late as Wednesday had hap
pened to excite unusual alarm. Inc BANK
rate of discount was not so high as it has been
again and again in the last three years, and
though the glories of the finance companies
had begun to pale, and it was known that the
imperial Mercantile Credit Association was
tottering, there was no reason to apprehend
any panic in consequence of a collapse which
was distinctly foreseen.
1t was the suspension of Overend, Quincy
& Company on Thursday which awoke the
terror of creditors. The name OF the fund
was historical, and the magnitude of its labi-
tiles showed that the mass of depositors
thought as highly Of the pubic company with
limited liability as of the private partnership.
twas notorious thatth spare money of town
and country bankers had often been deposited
with Overend, Quincy & Company, or, at all
events, had been employed through their
agency, and all well-informed men dreaded the
effect OF such ahouse upon the popular mag
ination. Friday showed that their apprehen-
sions were well founded. Depositors ran to
the banks to get back their deposits, and the
banks, unprepared for such sudden rush,
ran to the Bank of England to draw out their
reserves, and to beg for further assistance
Four millions in money were lent by the Bank
OF England during the day in addition to de-
posits repaid. and though considerable part
of the money thus withdrawn found its way
back, the cash in hand fell from e5, 727,O00 to
something under eS,OOO,OO0. This reserve
was amply sufficient to meet all the liabilities
of the Bank of England, but it is evident that
the assistance it had rendered on Friday to
bankers in distress could not be repeated. The
situation was full of danger, and amply justi-
fed the interference of the executive govern
ment. Symptoms, indeed, were not wanting
on Friday night that the bitterness of the cri-
sis was past; but it was quite possible that
things might yet take an untavorable turn.
and the suspension of the Bank Charter act
under the circumstances, was proper act OF
caution.
