NEW YORK, Sept. 11-(F-
Two distinct buying drives
were felt in the stock market
Wednesday, lifting some prices
to an extreme of more than $40

off recent sharp declines.
In the opening and closing
minutes of the session most of
the leading Issues were pushed
far above Tuesdays lows for

the early and late buying spurts
there was a SLIGHT downward
