stock market crash of 1929, a sharp decline in U.S. stock market values in 1929 that contributed to the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Great Depression lasted approximately 10 years and affected both industrialized and nonindustrialized countries in many parts of the world.

During the mid- to late 1920s, the stock market in the United States underwent rapid expansion. It continued for the first six months following President Herbert Hoover's inauguration in January 1929. The prices of stocks soared to fantastic heights in the great "Hoover bull market," and the public, from banking and industrial magnates to chauffeurs and cooks, rushed to brokers to invest their liquid assets or their savings in securities, which they could sell at a profit. Billions of dollars were drawn from the banks into Wall Street for brokers' loans to carry margin accounts. The spectacles of the South Sea Bubble and the Mississippi Bubble had returned. People sold their Liberty Bonds and mortgaged their homes to pour their cash into the stock market. In the midsummer of 1929 some 300 million shares of stock were being carried on margin, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a peak of 381 points in September. Any warnings of the precarious foundations of this financial house of cards went unheeded.

Prices began to decline in September and early October, but speculation continued, fueled in many cases by individuals who had borrowed money to buy shares-a practice that could be sustained only as long as stock prices continued rising. On October 18 the market went into a free fall, and the wild rush to buy stocks gave way to an equally wild rush to sell. The first day of real panic, October 24, is known as Black Thursday; on that day a record 12.9 million shares were traded as investors rushed to salvage their losses. Still, the Dow closed down only six points after a number of major banks and investment companies bought up great blocks of stock in a successful effort to stem the panic that day. Their attempts, however, ultimately failed to shore up the market.

The panic began again on Black Monday (October 28), with the market closing down 12.8 percent. On Black Tuesday (October 29) more than 16 million shares were traded. The Dow lost another 12 percent and closed at 198-a drop of 183 points in less than two months. Prime securities tumbled like the issues of bogus gold mines. General Electric fell from 396 on September 3 to 210 on October 29. American Telephone and Telegraph dropped 100 points. DuPont fell from a summer high of 217 to 80, United States Steel from 261 to 166, Delaware and Hudson from 224 to 141, and Radio Corporation of America (RCA) common stock from 505 to 26. Political and financial leaders at first affected to treat the matter as a mere spasm in the market, vying with one another in reassuring statements. President Hoover and Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon led the way with optimistic predictions that business was "fundamentally sound" and that a great revival of prosperity was "just around the corner." Although the Dow nearly reached the 300 mark again in 1930, it sank rapidly in May 1930. Another 20 years would pass before the Dow regained enough momentum to surpass the 200-point level.

Many factors likely contributed to the collapse of the stock market. Among the more prominent causes were the period of rampant speculation (those who had bought stocks on margin not only lost the value of their investment, they also owed money to the entities that had granted the loans for the stock purchases), tightening of credit by the Federal Reserve (in August 1929 the discount rate was raised from 5 percent to 6 percent), the proliferation of holding companies and investment trusts (which tended to create debt), a multitude of large bank loans that could not be liquidated, and an economic recession that had begun earlier in the summer.

The wheat glut of 1928 threw the Winnipeg Grain Exchange into a spiral, triggering a depression in Canada's economy.

It began to take shape on 24 October 1929, Black Thursday. "Stock Speculators Shaken in Wild Day of Panic," shouted the front page of the next day's Toronto . The New York Stock Exchange, the accompanying stories reported, had experienced massive declines in wild trading, with a record 12.8 million shares sold. Thousands of accounts were wiped out before leading bankers and industrialists intervened to halt the slump. The dread extended to the Toronto markets, the Globe declared, and "rocked" share prices there. In Montréal, forced selling ran rampant, and practically every stock finished the day down.

"The biggest crash ever recorded," lamented the famed British economist John Maynard Keynes, whose own investments were entirely gone by the end of the year ( see Keynesian Economics).

Tuesday, 29 October - or Black Tuesday - was worse still. On Wall Street, 16.4 million shares were sold, almost 4 million more than Black Thursday's unprecedented totals. The New York Times industrial average plummeted, eliminating a strong year's gains, and the investment giant Goldman Sachs Trading Corporation was reduced to 58 per cent of its worth the night before.

In Toronto and Montréal, liquidation records were set. Horrified investors clogged the financial districts, while employees in the exchanges and the brokerage houses worked themselves to near-collapse in an attempt to corral the paperwork. The Canadian Annual Review of Public Affairs reckoned that "never before the 1929 crash had amounts that ran into billions of dollars been lost on the Canadian Stock Exchanges in so brief a period of time." In Montréal, some 500,000 shares were sold (5 times the usual amount); in Toronto, 330,000 were sold (13 times the usual).

"The singular feature of the great crash of 1929 was that the worst continued to worsen," wrote Canadian-born economist John Kenneth Galbraith in his seminal book The Great Crash 1929 (1954). The markets jumped back to life, but briefly. The setbacks returned and they persisted.

From the peak of the bull market in 1929 to mid-1930, the 50 most active Canadian stocks diminished on average to well under half their market value. Shareholders in International Nickel and Imperial Oil lost more than $500 million each, those in Canadian Pacific Railway over $60 million.

Standard Oil of New Jersey's John D. Rockefeller, the Bill Gates of his day, was caught up in the turmoil. On 13 November 1929, yet another disastrous day for the markets, he put his family's money behind a guarantee that his enterprise's shares would not fall below 50. In early 1932, the price was 20.

Historians and economists debate the importance of the Great Crash. Some claim that it brought on the Great Depression that blighted the 1930s across the industrialized world; others scarcely mention it in their narratives of the decade-long economic ordeal, an international phenomenon with many origins and explanations.

The economic downturn seemed moderate enough when Conservative leader R.B. Bennett hit the election trail in 1930. But Bennett was able to use it to good effect to defeat William Lyon Mackenzie King's Liberals, who'd been in power for nearly a decade and were reluctant to acknowledge the crisis brewing in Canada.

Six months after the election, Prime Minister Bennett realized that the country was in a severe economic depression. The low point came in 1933, when national output and exports - crucial then as now to the Canadian economy ( see Economic Indicators) - were down a third from late 1920s levels. Farms of the West were in crisis ( see Drought). Nearly a third of the workforce was unemployed.

The rich and well-stuffed Bennett was the butt of cruel jokes and the symbol of everything Canadians loathed. Though he tried to turn the tide, establishing the Bank of Canada and presenting his New Deal for social service reform in 1935, it was too little too late. In the next election, Canadians ousted Bennett.

The economy struggled back, yet very slowly, and a late 1930s recession interrupted the upward trend ( see Business Cycles). In 1939, there were still hundreds of thousands of Canadians on what passed for financial relief, with monthly rates for a family of five varying from $60 in Calgary to $19 in Halifax. This was before the rise of the welfare state in the ensuing decades.

Year upon year of economic woe set peoples against one another in a global depression that left few markets unscathed. In response, governments heaped on the tariffs, wanting to protect themselves and punish others ( see Protectionism). Democracies turned in on themselves, selfish and frightened. Capitalism had apparently failed, and its opponents were in fashion. Territory-hungry dictatorships flourished ( see Fascism). In this respect, the Second World War was a child of the Great Depression. Then, in a twist of fate, the economic prosperity of war ended Canada's Depression.
