Those who wanted to cut in line or force their way in, once discovered by the police, had virtually no chance of entering the stock exchange.
Seeing the policemen lined up at the entrance, those who were anxious by nature became sensible and stopped worrying.
Under such circumstances, people lined up into a long queue and then entered the stock exchange in turn.
Inside the stock exchange, there were giant blackboards set up. These blackboards displayed some data from the stock exchange, and shareholders needed to clearly check the stock market data on the boards before finding a trader to register a transaction.
Unlike later generations, all trades at this time relied solely on manual operations. This made stock trading very cumbersome and took much longer than it would in later eras.
