Wall Street Has
Severe Break During Week
By ELMER WALZER
New York, Aug. 25.
Stocks suffered their most severe break since Jan. 18 during the past week on ́a daily average of less than 2,000,000 shares.
Selling jolted the market on Monday on the Russian-inspired Syrian coup.
From then on there were recoveries on Tuesday and Wednesday but on such small volume as to make them of little consequence to the trading element.

It was learned that the public godowns such as the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharves and Godown Ltd. and the China Provident Loan
and Mortgage Co. Ltd., were not concerned in such a move.
Considerably more cargo had been coming into the Colony in the Inst few months, possibly because of the early arrivals of cargo which were originally to be shipped here around the Cape of Good Hopo on the nasumption that Sucz would atil be closed, it was learned.
Large quantities of rice, sugar and beans have also been arriving at the local godowns in recent months.
