Died. Harold Russell ("Night") Ryder, 42, onetime self-styled "Brightest young man in Wall Street," twice sentenced to prison on grand larceny charges growing out of stock manipulations; of a heart attack, while waiting for a thorough prison physical examination; in Sing Sing Prison, Ossining, N. Y. In 1930 an investigation of Woody & Co., his stock firm, led to his first arrest...
...only a scattered few were breaking bread in a House dining hall. There was a strange quietness about the room; the rustle of skirts and the clatter of silverware were the major sounds.

...sympathetic medical students and teachers listened to the roaring, buzzing sounds manufactured inside of George Yocum's head. A coal miner, George Yocum had been caught in a rock slide in 1935, suffered an injury to the carotid artery behind his right eye.

Prices demonstrated that the opinion of the trade was right. Raw sugar quotations in Manhattan (including .9? duty) sagged...
...investors' minds the fact that as business the aviation industry is small potatoes. Last week a small, handsomely-printed volume summarized neatly and ably the striking characteristics of this diminutive industry. Its author was William Barclay Harding, who prepared it for the clients of his firm, the Wall Street house of Chas. D. Barney & Co.* Wall Street houses constantly prepare brochures on U. S. industries but for several years there has been no survey of aviation from a financial point of view of anywhere near such completeness. Its noteworthy facts and opinions on the two great divisions...
