Trelawny. I've got a conspiracy theorist answer to your small trade value query. Its not my theory but I've read that it is a method that market makers use to communicate to each other about the supply and demand levels for a stock. A code that once deciphered gives them information on volume and potential price action.
For example, 66 could represent that a large buyer is on the periphery about to buy a large quantity of stock and the market maker signalling will need some support from other market makers in order to make the trade. Alternatively, 66 could represent a large seller etc, etc, etc
