The panic of 1907 reached a critical phase a year ago as the Knickerbocker Trust failure and bank runs triggered a stock market collapse. Call money spiked to 125 percent, a $25 million bank syndicate stabilized near closes, and several banks and trust companies suspended, then recovered with none losing depositors.
