Normally, trading volume on the American Exchange runs about 40% of that on the New York Stock Exchange (in numbers of shares, but far less in dollar value, because Amex issues are much lower-priced). Last month Amex volume began to swell to as much as 60% of that on the Big Board. At increasingly hectic sessions, the ticker ran late 18 times (by as much as 22 minutes), and there were delayed openings on 17 days.
