[Boston, February 10, 1897. Prepared by Gamaliel Bradford for the Bankers Magazine.]

PANIC AND DEPRESSION OF BUSINESS IN 1857.

1. On the 25th of September, 1857, the Bank of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, suspended, and the other banks of that city refused specie on that or the next day. Banks of Baltimore and Washington immediately followed. Domestic exchange on the seaboard, quoted 10 to 15 per cent premium, was almost unobtainable.

New York and Boston held out till October 13. Before 3 o'clock of that day 20 New York City banks were obliged to refuse specie. Thirty held out till the close, but in the evening a meeting was held and general suspension agreed upon. Boston, New Orleans, and other points immediately followed. (Hunt's Merchants Magazine, November, 1857.)

2. Formal resumption of specie payments in New York was decided upon Friday evening, December 11, and took place December 12. Boston concurred in form, though it had practically been paying specie for some time. (Hunt's Merchants Magazine, January, 1858.)

3. Practically there has been no suspension of specie payments in New York since the first day or two after October 13. All of the banks, as far as we can learn, paid specie on demand for their circulation, and few, if any, refused specie for their obligations. Consequently THERE WAS NO PREMIUM UPON COIN beyond the cost of packing it in bags or boxes for export. Gold in small sums was easily obtained at par, at three-eighths cent premium, and we know of no considerable purchases during the whole period at over one-half cent premium. Outside of New York more difference was paid. (Same authority.)

The same was true IN BOSTON. FOREIGN EXCHANGE WAS BELOW EXPORTING POINT THE WHOLE TIME and nobody at home wanted gold. What they did want was money to pay debts.
