>>>A quiz question from the 1929 market collapse & follow-on bank failures (not necessarily directly related, but that's another issue)...

What was more causitive for the banks that collapsed?
- withdrawals by small depositors?
- withdrawals by large depositors?

You've got a 50% chance of getting the answer right, so this doesn't show much of anything.

So now the hard question...
- when did the Federal Reserve know the answer?
<<<

I still haven't found the answers. (Galbraith was no help, though I did learn something about the banking structure which contributed to the failures.)

So what are the answers?
