During the last ten years we have witnessed two stttck market panics, one in 1903 and one in 1907. Both were indicated by a high con- dition of loans to deposits and a low condition of specie to loans. In the early part of 1903 loans reached 102% of deposits. This was the first time loans had exceeded deposits since 1896. Specie simultaneously fell below 18% of loans.
