wildcat" Securities.
rom the Muncie Bank Bulletin.


The term wildcats" today applied
to worthless securities of any de-
scription, was originally the name
given to certain banks in Michigan.
Back in 1897 there was a severe
financial panic. Many banks failed.
The currency which they had circu-
lated became worthless, many bogus
banks started up and issued bank
notes" and the country was overrun
with swarm of counterfeiters
Banking and business were de-
moraliZed and, to make matters
worse, lax legislation was passed in
many states, permitting almost any
kind of financial robbery in the name
of banking.
Such was the case in Michigan,
where forty banks were started UNI
der a law of fraudulent character.
These banks were called Wildcats
because the bank notes issued by
them bore a picture of that anil
NAL. All but four of these failed
within two years, hence the term
wildcat" to denote a very insecure
financial obligation.
