mini is one OF the old ia shioned sort
being orga ni5ed In the days when less
attention was paid TO q volume OF shares

The presence OF large market orders
yesterday afternoon for the King Con
solldated stock developed good strength
In this issue. and the sales column

more than the usual proportions. One
unusual feature OF the King ConsoH-
dated market Is that all sales are on a
cash basis, no sellers being taken,
hence there are little or no short Inter-
