Monday's Closing Quotations

New York, Sept. 23.

A firm and buoyant market was witnessed on Wall Street today, with stock prices generally closing from fractions to over 2 points higher.

A wave of buying swept over a wide list, in which "war babies" forged ahead, while other market favourites followed closely.

Offerings were only made at higher levels and these were quickly absorbed, as operators entered the feld with confidence that Britain would survive this winter, while domestic business reports were very cheerful.

The volume of trading totalled 980,-

000 share.—Reuter.
