While the 20 industrial stocks ased in The Associated Press aver- ages fell less than ten per cent in the collapse of the market early in June, the stocks of 10 represen- tative New York banks and trust companies, with total capital, sur- vidual brokerage houses. In this; less fluid market, they are natural-| ly susceptible to greater changes. The average stocks early price price of the ten in the year was about 820. The wave of specula- tion carried the average over 1,180, and, subsiding, left it at about 850.
