NEW YORK, June l7.-Speculative
defation which took OH the symptoms
of collapse was affected in the stock
market today. The suddenness and
violence of the break in prices came
as a surprise. The selling however
was well absorbed and an effective
rally achieved
At that point stocks began to come
out again, partly from those important
interests which bought yesterday to
check the threatened decentralization
then and which sought the earliest OPP
portunity to resell their takings, and
partly from the organized bears, who
had strengthened their position by
large covering operations. AS prices
crumbled away margins were wiped
out and stop loss orders uncovered,
and soon after midday the market
was demoraliZed.
Copper Developments Unfavorable.
Developments In the copper trade in
the last few days have impressed sen

the copper metal market in London

Everybody who has ever been In q

when the judge walks out Of his cham

Not many persons, however, realize
that the crier says "oyez. oyer, oyex."
instead Of "harken, harken, harken,"
because Of chance visit that william
the Conqueror made to an English
court almost 900 years ago.
William had overrun England, seized
the government and placed himself at
its head. Happening to enter a court
room, he heard the crier call the as
semblage to order in English. William
rebuked him and on the spot decreed
that the business of all English courts
should be transacted in Norman
French. his native tongue. Afterward
the courts went back to English, but to
this day 'oyez. oyer. Oyer" clings to
court customs wherever the English
language Is spoken - q reminder Of
