New York Stocks

Monday's Closing Quotations

New York, May 15.

Trading on the Stock Exchange today reflected the cautious attitude of operators, with the volume of business passing amounting to only 330,00 shares. Despite the moderate tone of Signor Mussolini's speech, the market failed to react to it because of several unfavourable factors, among which were, the further decline in steel operations and the continued inability of the volume to expand on the upside. However, today's action was fair on the whole, with the market revealing good absorption powers.—Reuter.
