To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the Stock Exchange closed its doors there was no longer a guide upon which to base values that had heretofore appeared in loans secured by collateral, and this introduced into our perplexities another difficulty. Here again the action of the Wall Street banks calls for the highest praise. With the market closed for an indefinite period these banks were forced to carry an immense burden of loans on Stock Exchange collateral ordinarily fluid beyond all other forms of collateral, but now froz...en solid. All their secondary reserves became, as it were, unmarketable investments, and "intrinsic val- ues" whatever that may mean, came by force of circumstances to take the place of market val- ues. It was a state of affairs quite beyond prece- dent, but the banks faced it as they faced all their other difficulties. So far as I am aware, not a single loan was pressed for payment, and where collateral seemed to demand re-enforcement, the request was couched in terms of suggestion, quite without peremptory demand, while rates of inter- est charged on these loans were gradually re- duced.
