1907: Banking Panic
Eventually, something did give way. In October, the scarcity of money led to a panic in New York that spread through the rest of the country. Chicago's banks followed the lead of New York and suspended currency payments. As might be expected, depositors were angry.
To bring relief to the situation, United States Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou earmarked $35 million of Federal money to quell the storm. Complete ruin of the national economy was averted when J.P. Morgan stepped in to meet the crisis. Morgan organized a team of bank and trust executives. The team redirected money between banks, secured further international lines of credit, and bought plummeting stocks of healthy corporations. Within a few weeks the panic passed, with only minimal effects on the country.

By February 1908, confidence in the economy was restored.
