Market Out of Tangle Decline Instead of a Rise
The Washington Post reports on August 2 1925 that A B Brown & Co failed to meet engagements, triggering a market tumble. Bearish sentiment followed as deliveries went awry, irregular witness trades surfaced, and the stock exchange announced a committee to probe last week’s events. Copper stocks rose on cover, while London trading was subdued and interest shifted to Interborough Rapid Transit and Missouri Pacific figures.

Wall Street Gossips On Stock Movements And Failures
New York traders faced a second day of price moves driven by last Saturdays sessions. Witness purchases surged as brokers covered short commitments in Rock Island and South John Pacific, amid rumors of a Rock Island reorganization. Reports claimed stock was supplied by the failed firm to cover dealings, prompting concern over delivery failures and calls for strict exchange rules to prevent a repeat. The market showed cautious resilience as big hands aimed to hold prices steady until the turmoil subsided.
