Helium was up; feathers were down. Knives opened up sharply; paper remained stationary. Lamps were dimmed in light trading; jello firmed. Elevators rose; while escalators continued their slow decline. Weights were up and down in heavy trading. Pencils lost a few points. Toilet paper touched a new bottom; but diapers remained unchanged. The market for raisins dried up. Cola-cola fizzled; caterpillar inched up. Balloon prices kept inflating; roofing peaked. Rubber balls rebounded; sopranos hit a new high. And Weight Watchers gained. Some tire makers found traction; others remained flat. Bread rose.
