Black Fridays of Finance.


Several of the great financial PAN
ic of the past have commenced on a
Friday and this a given rise to one
of the pet su~bstitutions of the stock
exchanges and bourses all over the
world-that the sixth day of the week

iLondoners Immediately made prepare
lions to fly from the city. and a wild
panic prevailed. 1t was on that occa-
sion that the bank of England had the
closest call in its long history. The
citizens were anxious to take theii
money with them in their fight. and
the Bank of England was besieged
by an army of depositors. In that cris-
is the bank escaped bankruptcy only
by the expedient of placing dunn
miles, In the line TO impede the genu-
Inc depositors, and by paying bona lde
depositors in small coin.
The first BLACK Friday of latter
day financial history was in 1866, just
about fifty-two years ago, and was due
to the failure of one of London's
largest banking houses. Three years
later Wall street had q BLACK Fri

cial BLACK Fridays was that of 1873.

that the whole financial fabric of the
New World had crumbled into hone
les ruins.
