Stocks Decline After Brokerage House Failure
New York August 25 The failure of a prominent brokerage house largely tied to last Saturday's market shock did not greatly shock prices. The firm admits tangled accounts and fear of wider involvement. Despite the suspension trading was unsettled and feverish for the day with American Smelting leading declines. Grain and rail traffic notes were mixed as grain supplies shifted and money ease grows. Bonds held steady with total sales at 2.55 million dollars and United States 3s down fractionally on call.
