Schließen (Reserve of B.o.E.)
On Friday evening (11. May) Gladstone stated in the H.o.C. that the reserve of the B.o.E. fell that day from close upon 6 millions to 3, and the Bank Return shows that in the course of the entire week it has fallen from nearly 6 millions to one. The demand for loans, after removal of Bank Act ⦗a few hours more of intense panic would have absorbed this reserve altogether⦘ during the week more than 10 millions, greater than ever known in any previous week of the Bank[’]s history.

The Recent Panic and Bank Act Suspension.
Kein solcher Panic seit 1825. For a long time previously, day after day, and week after week, persistent endeavours in the Times to bring all the financial associations into disrepute. Continual repetition of damaging insinuations could not fail to prove injurious to the credit of these Cos. and depreciate to some extent the value of their shares, as well as the value of the securities on which their advances had been made. When the favourable moment arrived, therefore, when the disreputable doings of the Joint Stock Discount Co. and the Contract Corporation had excited a large amount of public suspicion and distrust, and the imminence of a great Continental War was added, the speculators for a fall in the Stock Exchange had every inducement to extend immensely their operations, and every reason to calculate upon their success. These operations, it is said, have resulted in the realisation of large fortunes by many of the adverse speculators. For the Cos which were at all „financially weak“ – the effect was crushing. The depreciation in the market price of their shares was certain to be accompanied by a corresponding depreciation in the market value of the securities on which their investments had been made, and the depreciation of both led their customers to a withdrawal of deposits. This the result calculated upon by the speculators, and enforced. But as the conduct of these unscrupulous gamblers, that of some directors of these Cos has been infinitely more reprehensible. It is freely said that some of these directors, like certain animals which are known to follow in the trail of other beasts of prey, more savage and courageous than themselves, for the chance of partaking of the offal that may be left behind, have been following the lead of the Bears, and selling on Speculation the shares of their own Cos. These have been attempted to justify or palliate on the shallow pretext. Feeling certain that the operations of the „bears“ must frighten the public and induce them to sell, and a fall of prices must therefore ensue, they have followed the movement and have sold also, thereby accelerating and increasing the fall. Suchten dieß to justify or palliate on the shallow pretence that, by subsequently buying back their shares at the reduced prices and whilst pocketing the profits – or, in other words, sharing with the bears in the plunder of their own shareholders they have been sustaining the market.
On Thursday, the 10, the panic, which till then might be said to be still „looming in the distance“, fairly set in: at 1/2 4 o’clock had culminated in the stoppage of Overend, Gurney, et Co. News flew like wildfire in all directions, in an instant telegraphed to all parts of the country. Dense masses congregated in the streets around the doors. It was clearly perceived that this Overend stoppage would be the signal for the commencement on the following morning of a „run“ upon every other banking and financial establishment, whose credit had been called into question. „Not even in the panics of 1847 and 1857“, said the Daily News, „was the apprehension shown this day equalled. The circulation of mercantile bills, however good, is completely paralysed. Merchants who have the most |188 undoubted paper find themselves under the risk of inability to meet their engagements by reason of the partial or complete collapse of the money market.“ Even the Times City Editor declared that „unless prompt steps were taken, the close of that week would be marked by disasters such as had never been equalled in our commercial history“. Means must be devised, he urged, for stemming the insane torrent of the panic, or it „would not only affect the metropolis and all the great provincial centres of our commerce, as well as our Indian colonial and the foreign markets, but would at once lead to a suspension of public works throughout the kingdom, and in every district throw thousands of people out of employment.“
The time for action had arrived. The only action possible was, in the first instance, a deputation to Gladstone (Chancellor of the Exchequer) composed of representatives of the leading institutions and firms of the City, to urge him, not in terms to suspend the Bk. Act again, but in fact and in effect to supersede it. Friday Morning (11 May) came the anticipated run upon the other banks and financial institutions, and such a pressure upon the discount Department of the B.o.E. as had never been experienced before. Under this pressure the Bk. raised the rate of discount from 8 to 9%, and as regards advances on stock to 10%, and even upon those exorbitant terms it was only on the most unexceptionable bills that money could be obtained. Partially known on Thursday evening the closure of the Joint Stock Bank, its liabilities only about 8 Mill. £. This announcement was followed on Friday Morning (11 May) by the suspension of Peto, Betts, and Co (mit liabilities to £4,000,000) and of W. Shrimpton, railway contractor, for £200,000. In the course of the day it became known that Imperial Mercantile Credit Association had succumbed, the Consolidated Discount Co. has suspended. Several banks severely pressed, but the „run“ was well met. Lombard-Street was thronged in a most extraordinary manner by crowds and gazers, watching the movements at several banks. So great these crowds that the streets almost impassable … constant streams of depositors and customers with anxious faces as they passed and repassed through the doorways of the banks …
Several informal communications from the bankers of the City made to Gladstone during the day, urging the immediate suspension of the Bank Act, but the Bank (o. E.) Directors had made no application, nor expressed any desire on that subject, and Gladstone unwilling to determine anything without some formal application. In the meantime the pressure upon the Discount Department of the Bank such as without parallel in all its previous history. In that single day the Bank extended its loans and discounts to a sum of more than £4,000,000, so as to reduce the reserve from 5 millions and 3/4 mill. to about 3 millions. These facts communicated to Gladstone on Friday evening, and on that evening Gladstone was waited upon by a deputation representing the Joint Stock Banks in the City, who were more urgent for a suspension of the Act. Gladstone then decided to send suspensory letter to Governor and Deputy Governor of the B.o.E. He announced this to the H. o. Commons on Friday (same day of 11 May) night. … Thus the Bankact for 3d time suspended.

The Panic and its Remedy.
If the Bankact had not been suspended then, the
B.o.E. itself would have forewith forthwith suspended payment. Three millions out of a reserve of
less than 6 mill. went on Friday, and, with a panic becoming more
intense every hour as the reserve attenuated, there is no doubt that
before the close of banking business on Saturday the
B. o. Egd.
must have closed its doors. Von Marx übernommen in seinen Brief an Collet Dobson Collet
vom 13. November 1868.
Schließen If the leading members
of Gvt had been out of the way, as is sometimes the
case when Parliament is not sitting, … the
B.o.E. would
have stopped payment. It
certainly seems strange that the commerce of a great
commercial nation should be paralysed because a Minister
or two might not be at their posts; but the law, as
it stands, may entail a catastrophe thus momentous for a
cause so insignificant.
Jezt sagen die defenders des Act of 1844: its peculiar advantage is that it will stop any Panic as soon as the Act is defunct. … The speculation in cotton, in produce, in iron; the institution of Finance Cos., „Lloyds Bonds“, and contractors’ loans, are certainly not the inventions of the Act of 1844. |189 The „phantom“ Reserve of B.o.E. Notes had suddenly fallen to such a panic point as induced a scramble for the Remnant. … Attempt to limit the supply of money, when it was most needed.

Schließen
What to do with the Act of 1844?
It does no harm so long as it is doing nothing; it never does any good; it never comes into actual operation without producing evil. It is raising the Bank rate of discount that checks a foreign drain upon our gold reserves, and checks and moderates undue speculation, when it is to be checked … . It is most humiliating to reflect – that the whole of the banking, and financial, and trading interests of this country should hang suspended in the feeble grasp of a body of bank directors, supposed ⦗by the defenders of the Act⦘ to be perpetually oscillating between abject fear and reckless indiscretion. … Banks and bankers imagine that the Bank Act works well for them, and for all the money-lending community, however hardly it may operate upon the money-borrowing public, by keeping up and raising to a permanently higher level the value of loanable money. … The tendency of these frequently recurring periods of pressure and panic is to convert the industrious and enterprising classes into speculative and reckless gamblers …
The landed interest owns less than 1/6 of the national wealth, and pays less than 1/6 of the national taxation.

encouraging speculation. When the evil tree is beginning to bear its

gone and ordinary credit falls into suspicion, then the Bank of England
trafficks upon the fatal excesses it has
provoked, and exacts 10% from its own victims. The other moneylenders do
the same, but it is the Bank that sets the example. As a public
institution it realises the questionable maxim that private vices are
public benefits, for it thrives upon the folly of private speculators,

Investors Losses from „Bear“ Frights.
Recently the current of speculation in the Stock Exchange has set all one way. Prices have fallen – in some instances on merits; z.B. für die Joint Stock Discount shares und Contract Corporation Shares. But upon this comparatively small basis the Stock Exchange „bears“ have erected a huge structure intended to crush all finance and discount Cos. … The bears of the hour not only sell as the old „bears“ were wont to sell, but they combine, and sell in masses, and they back up their sales by endless rumours. If one Co. makes a call, all are reported to be likely to make calls. If „Lloyd’s Bonds“ are held largely by One Co., all are said to hold „Lloyd’s Bonds“. If one Co. has railway contractors for creditors, all are reported to „be in“ deeply with railway contractors. In the peculiarly sensitive condition of the market at present a few rumours of this description, coupled with a smart decline in the price of the shares, bring real and frightened sellers into the market; whereupon depositors get frightened also, and a complete panic sets in. … There has, during the last week, been a dead set against the Alliance Bank, the Agra and Masterman’s Bank, the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England.

The Stock Markets of the Week.
Gvt. Stocks have had a great rally, despite the immense sales forced by banks in hourly fear of a „run“. That investment has been rapidly absorbed by the public, and Consols are restored to a very fair price for a 3% security. … The public have eagerly taken all the Railway Stock which a pressure from the North had thrown upon the market. London Chatham and Dover stock has risen. The German sales of American Stocks seem for the moment suspended, while the American demand continues, so that 5-20 Bonds have shared, although very meagrely, in the general rise.
The variations in Agra and Masterman’s Bank shares tremendous, but after touching 20, the price seems now recovering. In London and County Bank Shares recovery of £10. Speculators for a fall in Consolidated Bank shares were forced last „account“ to pay 10s. „backwardation“.

The Limited Liability Act of 1862.
So far, indeed, it seems passed for the especial benefit of clever promoters, financiers, and liquidators to the injury of the real investors. The liability, in many instances, has operated as a share. The bona fide shareholder has practically no protection against either unscrupulous directors or against a wholesale system of nominees or „men of straw“, put up as his co-partners in Cos. which have only a trifling amount of capital paid up. Thus the so called Reserve of unpaid capital may be no reserve at all. No real audit. There are some figures which must be published at least once a year; but, in some instances, if not absolutely false they have been grossly deceptive, and in nearly all cases, they are grouped under a few heads in such a way as to convey little or no information – not even to the most acute accountant in the world – as to the real character, or the extent of the commitments of the Co. The securities held against advances sometimes actually involve a liability, and may, in fact, become heavy liabilities instead of securities, without the shareholders having slightest idea of such a risk. … On the creditor side of the account should be given the amount of advances on securities not fully paid up, on securities of works in progress, and on securities representing fully paid up shares in Cos. or Loans brought out by the Co. distinct from those of other cos., also, the amount of cash at call, at interest, also that at the B.o.E., and in hand.
The shareholders selbst grossen Theils am Dreck Schuld. They blindly support directors who admit having transacted such a description of business that secrecy is actually necessary to preserve the Co. as well as the client. Shareholders are led away by plausible observations from the directors as to the evils of exposing details to the public or their rivals; recent disclosures have proved that secrecy allows unprincipled directors and managers to carry on abominably reckless transactions, of which the shareholders are in ignorance until the Co. is ruined. Even when it is ruined, a balance-sheet in accordance with the requirements of the present Act can at the very last moment be issued, showing a profitable position, as was the case with the Joint Stock Discount Co. With regard |191 to the appointment and re-election of directors (the latter being a ceremony which has almost degenerated into a mere form) they are selected because of their names being prominent as guinea-pigs, oder weil sie political, municipal, official, und mercantile duties have in combination with the responsibilities of a directorship over 5, 10, 15 other cos of varying nature with the most diversified objects. There should also be an end to reserve funds being used as capital. If it be clear profit, and is yet wanted for use in the business, let it be added to the paid up capital or invested so a as to prove a real reserve fund in case of need.

Schließen (Overends
und Times)
Professional Accountants make things pleasant to the people by whom they are employed. Overends’ case „typical“. With official accountants, it would have found it its way into the Bankruptcy Court. The liquidators, acting in concert with the partners and the solicitors of the old firm, and the new one, have hitherto contrived to baffle all the endeavours of the shareholders or others to obtain an insight into the real state of affairs past or present. A few weeks ago the partners of the old firm denounced in the leading type (by Justitia) of the Times, if not in the leading columns of the Times as criminals of the deepest dye, and the new directors as swindlers, who ought to be forthwith arraigned at the Old Bailey. But, a few days after, another writer in the leading columns of the Times, upon precisely the same state of facts and information, laboured to exculpate both the partners of the old firm and the directors of the new Co. from all moral imputation, and even from all legal responsibility. Still more recently – Times of 27. December 1866 – the City Editor of that Journal without any additional facts or information, not only exculpates all these parties, but this to show that the old firm was not insolvent at all at the time when the transfer took place. Es existiren immer noch no official figures as to the liability of the old firm. Times City editor says: Liabilities taken over were £4,199,000 and assets handed over £4,887,000.
Those assets, says City Editor:
Securities held against liabilities: | £1,082,000 |
Private Estates: | 2,320,000 |
Goodwill | 500,000 |
Premises in Lombard street | 45,000 |
Balances due to partners in books of the old firm | 940,000 |
Total: | £4,887,000 |
Der City Editor of the Times seeks to make out, daß danach nach dieser Rechnung die firm was not insolvent at the time of transfer; that „there was no insolvency of any kind“.
Woher dann »the present (undisputed) insolvency[«]? Not consequent upon losses or bad business of the new Co., for it is boasted that they made a profit on their legitimate business during their 9 or 10 months’ existence, of some £200,000. Aber the whole of the capital (of the new Co.) is gone, and there are still 5 Mill. £ St. unliquidated. Towards the liquidation of these, already call made upon the shareholders of 1 Mill. £, and two other calls of 1 Million each, are expected. How this, with the solvency of the old firm and 200 000£ profit of the new one? …|
246As to the bills taken over, great number of them, which were taken as good, have been renewed from time to time, and were bad, and known to be bad, or at least doubtful at the time, and are still unpaid. The „goodwill“, as encumbered not only with the legitimate discount business, but with the bad business too, was a mere fiction. According to the examination of John Henry Gurney they were loosing year after year before the transfer. The „balance due to partners“, in the books of the old firm – a myth. This no mere question of bookkeeping. Of what was that £940,000 composed? Of undrawn profits, it is said. But, first, we were led to believe that this £940,000 were profits accumulated during the years following 1861, in which no profits were divided, but now we learn that no profits were made, and could, therefore, not accumulate. Again, it is said, these socalled profits are largely composed of nominal half-yearly additions of enormous rates of interest upon those millions of bad debts. If so, these profits as bad as the bad debts themselves.

Separation of Acceptances from Deposits in Bank
Balance Sheets.
With exception of a few Banks, like London and Westminster,
these items thrown together in the public Bank accounts. Acceptances represent the liability of a Bank to
be called up to pay that sum; deposits money
actually deposited by the Public. The latter show the confidence of the Public in the Bank; the acceptances the
confidence of the Bank in the issuers or guarantees of the Bills they
accept. During the recent crisis, when Bankrate at 10%, the rates „out of doors“ for the very best Bankers bills varied often from 1 to 3% below
the Threadneedlestreet minimum. This variation entirely owing to the
respective amounts which each billbroker held of
the bills of each bank. Zusammenfassung von Marx
