BLACKEST IN HISTORY
STOCK EXCHANGE DAY
HEAVY SELLING PRESSURE
MARKETS NOW RELATIVELY CALM
(By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright, i (Eeceived September 28, noon.) LONDON, September 27.
Business on the stock and share markets may now be described as nominal, when compared with yesterday, which was one of the blackest days in the history of the Stock Exchange. Markets are now relatively calm.
The decision of the House Committee to fix "minimum prices" for gilt-edged securities prevented a repetition of yesterday's debacle, when the prices for Government Stocks retreated before heavy selling pressux-e. Other sections in the markets are virtually at a standstill and mostly weaker.
Central European Government Bonds have slumped heavily.
