20 The Stock Market Crash—dAnd After and 83.5, respectively, at the dates named. English stock prices, however, had fallen pretty consistently since the first of 1929, going from 198.9 in the week ended January rith to 167.3 at the end of August, and 91.4 at the end of December, a decline by more than one-half in a year. No doubt the London decline, setting in much earlier than our own, helped give the American crash in stock prices its initial :mpulse. In fact, the British crash, dating from August 30 and starting a full week earlier than the American break, plunged common share averages to a lower level on the London Exchange than in New York (see Chart 5). The extreme range of the American decline was 16 per cent less than the fall of stocks in London. It was a world crash in stocks which started, not in New York. but in London, and wrought havoc in Paris and Berlin as well as on the American Exchanges.
