ATTENDANCE VERY LARGE

OF tho Eleven Hundred Members Near.
Iy Seven Hundred Were on the Floor
When the Gong Sounded-Cautiou
Tone Shown Despite Skyrocket
Advances.
New York, Dec. 1.-THE stock ex-
change, closed for nearly four and a
half months, except for limited trad
ing in bonds during the past two
weeks, has reopened for active trad
ing i'm stocks. One hundred and nine
ty-two issues were approved by the
governors for trading and activity on
the floor revived memories OF big days
ten years ago.
Not for many years has there been
such a throng OF brokers on the floor
as that which waited for nearly an
hour for the signal to resume trading.
There are / 100 members of the ex'
change and nearly 700 of these We're
on the floor Many of the others
smiled down, with their families and
friends. from the members gallery.
The visitors gallery also was throng-
ed Half or more OF the hundreds
who gazed down at the unusual scene
were women.
Market Opens With Rush.
At the stroke of 10 the market
opened with an old time upward swing
that sent the principal issues whole
points above the rock bottom figures
determined on by the committee In
advance.
There was one feature, however,
that was not at all in keeping with the
activity of the big days of more pros
porous times and that was the small
volume of single trades. Most of the
trading was in blocks of 100 to 800
shares and much OF II was in blocks
OF less than ten shares.
Notwithstanding skyrocket advances
over the minimum trading seemed to
assume a cautious tone. The greatest
gain noted was one Of more than 26
points by General Motors. Texas
company stock came next with rise
OF IS points above the minimum, and
many more active issues, such as lie
high Valley, Tennessee Copper, Ameri
can Beet Sugar and Central Leather
showed gains from 51z to 10 points.
Trading was only for cash. In this
way the governors sought to curl
speculation-and succeeded, though II
was believed at the expense of the
volume OF trading.
