NEW YORK, September l8.-Stock
prices crumbled in todsy's brief mar
ket, many leaders plunging l to more
than 4 points, some TO new post-de-
preston lows.
After a relatively quiet opening, Of
ferings came out in large blocks, with
coppers, steels and rails conspicuous
for their lack OF support. For a while
the ticker tape was behind floor trans
actions. Dealings then slowed as ex-
treme losses were reduced in some
cases.
Brokerage opinion as to whether
disappointed selling resulted from the
Presidents Constitution day speech
was mixed Most thought the decline
was merely continuation of the
downswing of the past several weeks,
based principally on the belief trade
prospects for the rest Of the year are
far from bright.

Although August construction. as

was II per cent under July, there was
an expansion of 4 per cent over the

the drop from July was attributed to
decrease in the amount of publicly
financed work. At the same time it
was not overlooked that residential
contracts fell below the total for the
corresponding month of the previous
year for the first time in the recovery
period.
