almost exclusively professional and only
in the last half Of the final hour was there
to be noted an approach TO animation. The
initial prices We're bur slightly different
from Saturdays final figures. but the ap-
rtarance Of foreign selling orders and
pressure by the bears against the high
priced sQeoialties caused recessions. Con-
so!iGateI Gas losing 2Is and Tobacco and
