The recent panic in the stock
market of Wall Street is said to
have resulted in a shrinking in the
price of various corporation stocks
amounting to fully two billions of
dollars. Not bank was wrecked
nor a manufacturing plant closed
on account of it, and financiers
have since been wondering what
was the cause and what the effect.
A study of some of the effects may
throw a little light onto the cause.
1t is now observed that when the
price of stock in these concers,
numbering about 200, had fallen
from twenty-five to one hundred
points, the small investors, who
had been keeping their money in
savings banks at low rates of inter
est or concealing it in their homes
commenced to invest in stocks
and it is now estimated that fully
SO, 900 new shareholders lhave al.
ready been added to the lists, with
investments aggregating $500
100000. These facts lend suspi.
