IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 19 October
1929 that three and a half million shares were sold on the New York
Stock Exchange as prices fell significantly. Five days later came the
'Wall Street Crash' as the market went into freefall and investors began
to panic, selling almost 13 million shares. It was an economic
catastrophe that affected world markets and was followed by, what became
known as, the 'Great Depression'.
