All or most of whom suggested the tee command to create a temporary
file.
I had thought of this but thought it a little messy - which most people
agreed was the case. But it does do the job !.
Thanks to you all for your rapid suggestions.
Some samples :
*********************************************************************
(. .profile; get_trades_loaded | tee /tmp/file | lp -d lj4si-1a -n 2;
mailx -s whatever whomever </tmp/file; rm /tmp/file) >/dev/null 2>&1
Rather crude of me to use a file, but when all else fails, tried & true.

*********************************************************************
35 07 * * 2-6 ( . .profile; get_trades_loaded | tee /tmp/$$ | lp -d
lj4si-1a -n 2; mail somebody </tmp/$$; rm /tmp/$$ )
>/dev/null 2>&1
I don't know of a way to do it without the file I'm afraid.

You can use the tee command to create a file and mail that file, like:
35 07 * * 2-6 ( . .profile; get_trades_loaded | tee /tmp/tempfile | lp -d
lj4si-1a -n 2; mail -s "subject" user < /tmp/tempfile; rm /tmp/tempfile )
