Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New York Stock Exchange in the Crisis of 1914 The year 1914 has no precedent in Stock Exchange history. At the present time when the great events that have come to pass are still close to us, even their details are Vivid in our minds and we need no one to rehearse them. Time, however, is quick to dim even acute memories, and Wall Street, of all places, is the land of forgetfulness. The new happenings of all the World crowd upon each other so fast in the financial district that even the greatest and most far-reaching of them are soon driven out of sight. This being the case, it has seemed to the writer of these pages that some record should be kept among the brokerage fraternity of what was so great an epoch in their history, and that this record could best be written down by one who happened to be very favorably placed to know the story in its entirety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New York Stock Exchange in the Crisis of 1914 The year 1914 has no precedent in Stock Exchange history. At the present time (1915), when the great events that have come to pass are still close to us, even their details are vivid in our minds and we need no one to rehearse them. Time, however, is quick to dim even acute memories, and Wall Street, of all places, is the land of forgetfulness. The new happenings of all the World crowd upon each other so fast in the financial district that even the greatest and most far-reaching of them are soon driven out of sight. This being the case, it has seemed to the writer of these pages that some record should be kept among the brokerage fraternity of what was so great an epoch in their history, and that this record could best be written down by one who happened to be very favorably placed to know the story in its entirety. Of course the archives of the Exchange will always contain the minutes of Committees and other documentary material embodying the story of the past, but this dry chronicle is never likely to see the light except when unearthed by law courts or legislative committees. It seems worth while, therefore, to disentangle the essential thread of the tale of 1914 from the mass of unreadable detail in the minute books, and put it in a shape where those who are interested may look it over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The New York Stock Exchange in the Crisis of 1914" is the title under which H. G. S. Noble, President of the Exchange, presents in a paper-bound volume of ninety pages a record of the happenings of last fall in which the Stock Exchange played so important a part. The book comprises three chapters, the first dealing with The Closing of the Exchange, the second with The Period of Suspension, and the third with The Reopening of the Exchange. It is noted that while the Exchange is in the second century of its existence, only on two occasions has it been forced to close its doors in that long period. The first occasion was the great panic of 1873-the after-effect of the Civil War-when trading was suspended for ten days. The second came with the outbreak of the World War, in the close of July 1914. Inasmuch as the events of 1914 are the most momentous that have so far constituted the life and history of the Exchange, and some record of and commentary upon the facts incident thereto may be of value to the present members and of interest and profit to its future members, the assembling of the data in a separate volume, apart from the minutes of committees and documents, seems desirable, hence the record prepared by Mr. Noble. In reciting the steps leading to the closing of the Exchange last year, Mr. Noble says: The conditions on the Stock Exchange when the storm burst were in some respects very helpful. Speculation for several years had been at a low ebb so that values were not inflated nor commitments extended. During the week proceeding July 31, in the face of a practical suspension of dealings in the other world markets, the New York market stood its ground wonderfully. On July 30 the evidences of approaching panic showed themselves. An enormous business was done accompanied by very violent declines in prices and although money was still obtainable throughout the day. at the close of business profound uneasiness prevailed. On the afternoon of July 30 the officers of the Stock Exchange met in consultation with a number of prominent bankers and bank presidents, and the question of closing the Exchange was anxiously discussed. While the news from abroad was most critical and the day's decline in prices was alarming, it was also true that no collapse had taken place and no money panic had yet appeared. The bankers' opinion was unanimous that while closing was a step that might become necessary at any time, it was not clear that it would be wise to take it that afternoon and it was agreed to await the events of the following day. Meanwhile several members of the governing committee of the Exchange had become convinced that closing was inevitable and in opposition to the opinion of the bankers urged that immediate steps be taken to bring it about. It may seem strange to people outside of Wall Street that the night before the Exchange closed such apparent indecision and difference of opinion existed. It was however, a perfectly natural outcome of an unprecedented situation. The crisis had developed so suddenly and the conditions were so utterly without historic parallel. that the best-informed men found themselves at a loss for guidance. -The Commercial and Financial Chronicle, Volume 101 [1915]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Washington Shut Down Wall Street unfolds like a mystery story. It traces Treasury Secretary William Gibbs McAdoo's triumph over a monetary crisis at the outbreak of World War I that threatened the United States with financial disaster. The biggest gold outflow in a generation imperiled America's ability to repay its debts abroad. Fear that the United States would abandon the gold standard sent the dollar plummeting on world markets. Without a central bank in the summer of 1914, the United States resembled a headless financial giant. William McAdoo stepped in with courageous action, we read in Silber's gripping account. He shut the New York Stock Exchange for more than four months to prevent Europeans from selling their American securities and demanding gold in return. He smothered the country with emergency currency to prevent a replay of the bank runs that swept America in 1907. And he launched the United States as a world monetary power by honoring America's commitment to the gold standard. His actions provide a blueprint for crisis control that merits attention today. McAdoo's recipe emphasizes an exit strategy that allows policymakers to throttle a crisis while minimizing collateral damage. When Washington Shut Down Wall Street recreates the drama of America's battle for financial credibility. McAdoo's accomplishments place him alongside Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan as great American financial leaders. McAdoo, in fact, nursed the Federal Reserve into existence as the 1914 crisis waned and served as the first chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.
Download or read book July 1914 written by Sean McMeekin and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a Serbian-backed assassin gunned down Archduke Franz Ferdinand in late June 1914, the world seemed unmoved. Even Ferdinand's own uncle, Franz Josef I, was notably ambivalent about the death of the Hapsburg heir, saying simply, "It is God's will." Certainly, there was nothing to suggest that the episode would lead to conflict -- much less a world war of such massive and horrific proportions that it would fundamentally reshape the course of human events. As acclaimed historian Sean McMeekin reveals in July 1914, World War I might have been avoided entirely had it not been for a small group of statesmen who, in the month after the assassination, plotted to use Ferdinand's murder as the trigger for a long-awaited showdown in Europe. The primary culprits, moreover, have long escaped blame. While most accounts of the war's outbreak place the bulk of responsibility on German and Austro-Hungarian militarism, McMeekin draws on surprising new evidence from archives across Europe to show that the worst offenders were actually to be found in Russia and France, whose belligerence and duplicity ensured that war was inevitable. Whether they plotted for war or rode the whirlwind nearly blind, each of the men involved -- from Austrian Foreign Minister Leopold von Berchtold and German Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Sazonov and French president Raymond Poincaré- sought to capitalize on the fallout from Ferdinand's murder, unwittingly leading Europe toward the greatest cataclysm it had ever seen. A revolutionary account of the genesis of World War I, July 1914 tells the gripping story of Europe's countdown to war from the bloody opening act on June 28th to Britain's final plunge on August 4th, showing how a single month -- and a handful of men -- changed the course of the twentieth century.
