preceded second break, which at p. n had
carried Electric Storage common down &c A. the
preferred to 14s, and Welsbach Light to SO, while
the other stocks held little frmer.
The fall In prices really began on October 2l
for 1t was then that the Electric Battery stocks
reached their highest level. 1t was only day
or two later that the other securities involved
sold for the highest prices on record, but prior
to to-day the decline had been gradual and
unimportant. In less than ten days the Storage
Battery stocks have declined nearly 20 points
each: Welsbach. 10 points: United Gas about
9 points and Pennsylvania Heat. Light and
Power Company nearly points. Excluding
the latter, this is shrinkage Of nearly $4,000 000

The excitement had by this time quieted down

was that the worst was over and that the market
would soon return to its normal condition
