LOCAL BUSINESS GOSSIP.
A Statement From President Enston
of the Graphophone Company.

E. D. Easton. President OF the Ameri-
| can Graphophone Company, yesterday,
over the long distance telephone, made
the statement that there is nothing in
the condition of the company to warrant
| the low prices at which its securities have
recently sold on the Washington Stock
Exchange, and that some of the best In
formed of the stockholders are adding
largely to their holdings"
The statement of President Easton will
be read with much interest by the many
holders of these stocks in this city. EX-
cept for the regular payment of the div
idcnds on both the common and the pre-
ferred stocks of the company at the rate
of per cent, and the annual statement,
which many have considered not suf-
ficiently full and detailed, there has been
nothing from tire company officially as to
its condition. for the information of its
stockholders. Dividends and statements
have been most reassuring always, and
because there was nothing less reassur-
ing the stockholders for the most part
have been entirely satisfied.
When the stocks continued TO decline
in price, however, it was quite natural
that some skepticsm should arise and
some alarm, and that considerable blocks
of the stocks should be thrown on the
market.
II should be added to Mr.. Easton' s
statement that the company did not earn
the full dividend on its common stock IN
the year just closed, far as may be
Judged at the present time without the
fun balancing of all books. This is also
for this by the company is that business
was much delayed during the past sum
mer by the strike and inability to get
new machines on the market.
a
a reduction OF the dividends on the stocks
is under discussion. Some Of the directors
have been In favor of such a reduction
for some years past, and II is argued by
them that the present Is a good time to
make the cut. the prices of the stocks
being low.
Graphophone common and preferred
stocks both sold at their lowest prices
yesterday, the former at 5l5 and the lat
ter at S. The officers of the company
state that they attribute these low prices
to selling by holders uniformed of the
condition Of the company. They acknowl-
edge. however, that there has been some
manipulation, especially Of late.
yesterday by W. b. Hibbs & Co from a
Boston brokerage house regarding Mer-
genthaler Linotype stock:
Strength in Merge inhaler stock IS in
anticipation of a favorable report at the
annual meeting today and prospective
declaration OF extra dividend in Decem-
Der. We understand the company will
show net earnings of about 81 $50 600 tor
the fiscal year. or about 1919 per cent on
the capital stock"
Although nothing official from the meet
ing was received on the Street yesterday,
1t was understood that the figures of the
report would be even better than those
quoted above. One statement heard was
that the earnings of the company have
been better during the past year than in
any of the previous three years and that
they show at least 20 per cent on the
stock.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Turns Weak Despite the Eff
forts of the Bulls

CHICAGO. Oct. 16.-Local bull traders
made another effort to advance the price
of wheat today, on the steady tone of
Liverpool cables, which were unchanged
to I'D lower, and the light Northwestern
receipts, SIG cars. The best prices were
at the opening. Later under change of
sentiment and free selling, the market
turned weak and closed half a cent lower
than last night The cash demand here
was fair.
Corn sympathized with the early firm
ness in wheat. Several Of the leading
traders were still builishly inclined. and
gave it fair support. The poor cash de-
mand. large local stocks, and moderate
receipts. coupled with freer country offer
ings, proved too much for the bulls at the
moment.
Oats We're very duh. The action Of
corn viii have great deal to do with

ruled moderately higher, and closed
steady at fair Improvement. The de-
mand was chiefly from shorts. The cash
trade was quiet.

FIRMNESS AT THE CLOSE.
The Stock Market Dull Through
out Most Of the Day.
Fractional Declines i'm the London
Prices-Pressure in AmHIgnmated
Copper and Missouri Pacific
Monetary Conditions Unchanged.

NEW YORK. oct. l6.-Nothing more
than negative results followed today $
transactions on the stock exchange. The
dealing in stocks fell away TO only a
triiiing volume, and the fluctuations were
devoid of significance other than those
following upon exclusively technical
causes. The London market for Amer
lean stocks showed fractional declines, in
contrast with the local closing prices of
yesterday, and foreign houses were sellers
here, although on balance. to the extent
OF only about 5000 shares, and this selling
appeared in stocks which were among the
fGmest features of the local market.
Nothing whatever that was new was
offered for consideration upon the open
ing of business. Some attention was at
tracted to an advertisement which ap-
peared in this morning newspapers bear
ing upon Amalgamated Copper affairs,
but scrutiny of the reading matter threw
little or no light upon the actual condi-
tions prevailing, and it was commonly as
sumed that the notice was nothing more
lhan Il further exploitation OF the per-
sOnal opinions and affairs of notoriety
seeking Boston speculator. Monetary
conditions were unchanged, notwithStand
Ing further heavy transfers of currency
TO the interior, and no material alteration
in the foreign situation developed. No
significant returns of railway traffic were
submitted.
Following the lead of the London mar
ket. prices opened lower. and while frac-
uonal rallies occurred in the course of
the day. the general tone of the dealings
was reactionary. The further pressure
appearing in Amalgamated Copper and
Missouri Pacific had a depressing effect
on the general list, which was further
more wanting in the special incentives
furnished by recent moves in ST. Paul,
Union Pacific. and other stocks around
which Wall Street legends are now cir
culating. Most Well-informed people are
now aware that measures are on foot
looking to the formation of a proprietary
company which viii control the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern companies. A
sharp upward movement in Chicago and
Northwestern attracted some attention.
Notwithstanding the extreme dullneSS
of the market there were certain trans
actions which attracted good deal OF
attention. including a sale of Lake Shore
stock at $500 a share, or nearly 40 points
above the last bid price.
The general market during the after
noon developed a firner tone, but there
was no particular increase In activity.

movement on a large scale. The evident
inside buying in many stocks had helped
this feeling along. Such a market as that
of yesterday puts n damper on such an
idea. For If the insiders wish higher
prices. and are working for them. why
should they desert the market the mo-
ment il shows some signs of strength ana
willingness to follow their lead? 1t is
probable that the best that can be hoped
fol is professional market for the pres
ent. with no movement Of Importance in
either direction. The insiders may wlSh
an advance in the price level, but II tney
do they are willing to wait until money
conditions or other conditions that are
not explained to the public are more pro
pirious. And, without the insiders. there
will be no boom Of Importance. AS Tor
the outlook for a tumble in prices that
many people are now preaching, that
seems slim also. The insiders have the
stacks. and while they may not make a
boom. there is lO reason to suppose that
they will allow prices to go much, II
any, lower.
