Original Toronto Star caption: You can make plenty or lose it around one of these trading posts on the floor of the exchange. In busy markets you'd swear you were in a bug house; what with bells ringing; lights flashing and everybody trying to out-yell each other to complete transactions. But there's nothing doing today; except mayve for five minutes after opening and before close.
