Curb Market.
Some of the big fluctuations shown in the charts are accounted for by the abnormal irregularities of one or two giants of the industry, whose volume of trading produced a marked effect upon the totals traded in, and their average prices. Instances like United States Motors Company and B. F. Goodrich Company may be cited as examples. The accessory shares have seen a general rise since first traded in, in 1912.
