Blain, I don't know about that. 100 share orders aren't usually handeled by market makers from what I've been told. When you put in a market order that just bascially means fill me at whatever price the marekt gives me. In electronic trading when you get an unfilled market order pop up, some day trader/arb guy will fill it below the market price if he gets the chance.
