Boom Attempted On London Exchange
London, Sept. 20.—In a herculean effort to start a “re-armament boom" speculators heavily bought Rolls Royce causing the price to jump 6/101⁄2 to 96/102. They also bought aircraft shares.
But the day remained, nevertheless, fairly dull in the London Stock Exchange owing to extreme caution shown by investors in the provinces re- garding the international situation. The week-end accumulation of orders proved too small to develop a distinct trend.
