SENSATION N HOOK AND EYE SLUMP

THE STOCK DROPS FROM $40 TO 81 But AFTER
WARD RALLIES
In the market for outside securities in Wall Street
yesterday a small sensation was created by the
sudden decline in the price of shares of the Snap
Hook and Eye Company of America from $40 TO 81
Even at the latter price efforts to dispose of the
stock were for a while successful Ths break IN
the stock seemed to have it's origin in ths refusal
of certain brokers to accept 1t good delivery
at the opening OF the market. This. 1t was de-

officials OF the company had absented himself from
the office, thereby falling to meet certain alleged
obligations
