FEAR SIXTH DAY OF WEEK
Finaneiers the World Over Look on
Friday as Day 81 III Omen
for Them.

Several of the great financial panics
Of the past have commenced on a FRI
day. and this has given rise to one OF
the superstitions of the stock ex-
changes and bourses all over the world
that the sixth day of the week is
fraught with Ill omen for those en-
gagged In financial operations.
The original 'Black Friday" oc-
Cured In 1745 In London. On that
date the tidings reached the metropo-
lis that the Pretender. Prince Charlie.
had reached Derby with his forces.
Londoners Immediately made prepare
tons 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 their
money with them In their flight and
the Bank Of England was besieged by
an army Of depositors. In that crisis
the bank escaped bankruptcy only by
the expedient Of placing dummies"
In the line to impede the genuine de-
positors and by paying bona fide de-.
positors in small coin.
The first "Black Friday" OF latter
day financial history was In 1906 and
was due to the failure of one of Lon
don's largest banking houses. Three
years later Wall street had "Black
Friday" due to IN attempt to engineer
a corner In gold. The worst Of all
financial "Black Fridays" was that of
1873. on Friday, September IS.
