BY I. A. FLEMING.

IF one may form any conclusion from
the action or rather inaction, in the
Washington security market, it is more
than proba BILE that it is case of dead
lock Investors seem to be Indifferent
to the opportunities offered, caring
neither to buy at the current asked
prices nor to sell at the bid figures.
while it is Furthermore doubtful, if any
large amount of stocks, other than one
or two issues could be sold without
material concessions in price.
II is waiting market, and this is the
only positive feature about it, If Lans-
ton and hsh-era bonds are excepted.
Moderately large amounts of Lanston
could be quickly marketed around IL u.
perhaps a little better, but holders are
asking so and bidders are gradually
advancing their offers as the reports
of munition orders continue to ema-
nate from well informed sources.
Graphophone common. usually an in

them they made respectable nominal
list of bid and asked prices.

Production of the Greene-Cananea
Copper Company from date of resump-
ton of operations, June Is, to July 81
was 3,521,62S pounds of copper, 121 ,479
ounces of silver and 4S7 ounces of gold.
These figures do not include custom
ores.
Washington securities are compare
lively firm. according to the quotations
that are made from day to day on the
stock exchange. If the action, or.
rather. inaction. of the market means
anything it is that there is neither de-
sire to make investments at the ask
ing prices nor to sell at the bid fig
ures. Practically the entire member
ship of the exchange is out of the city.
At today's call w. B. Hibbs acted as
chairman. with Henry Hurt as his fell
low-broker in making quotations and
the very limited sales reported.
This waiting market is void of all
gossip.

the conviction that newspaper readers today demanding

He believes that the editorial columns being read

formerly made up large percentage of papers.
In all of these conclusions wish to most heart

GRIFFIN NOT TO

PROF. SNYDER, HOWEVER, DE-

ATLANTA, Feb. S-The city of
Griffin made famous by vaudeville
artists in Atlanta as the Joke town"
but which does not deserve it's repu-
tation, has not yet lost Professor A.
l.. Snider, Dixie's noted weather
prophet, despite his recent threat to
leave the Georgia town and take up
his abode in Dothan, Ala. The pro-
lessor has decided to remain at the
old stand for a while, and has entered
vaudeville, offering songs and dances
and harmonica solos.
Professor Snider came to bat this
week with predictions of a fair and
pleasant Easter Sunday, but says his
preyiouslymentioned February rim
shorter is on the way and will arrive
shortly.
The professor says in his latest pre-
dictiOn that he is not limited to 49,
hour forecasts, like official forecast
ers.
