Office Worker Reads The Wall Street Journal

(Original Caption) Seated on the steps of Subtreasury Building in Lower Manhattan, an office worker reads Wall Street Journal May 29th across the street from the New York Stock Exchange building. Trading boomed on the Exchange May 29th, outstripping the ticker facilities to report it, and flash prices on major issues showed the leaders rising. Prices recovered more than $13.4 billion of the more than $20 billion lost yesterday and the volume of trading reached the highest point since the great crash of 1929.
