Precisely that has occurred on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange almost every trading day for the past two months. Astonished visitors saw sights and heard sounds that would shake the faith of the blackest capitalist. Specialists dozed through raucous japery and ear-splitting versions of such old Floor favorites as "Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie" or "The Wearing of the Green." Oldsters yawned over backgammon, clerks wrestled and punched each other...
