 few transactions Stanley Works is

New Britain Ma chine company has declared an extra dividend of 2 1-2 per cent payable January 1st Recent quotations have been S2 bid, S3 asked but we believe this will strengthen the stock some- what Union Manufacturing company is S3 bid, S6 asked. All of our local stocks are ex-dividend with the ex- ception of Landers, Frary & Clark whose dividend is payable on the 5th. Quotations of Traut & Hine remain the same at A bid, AZ asked.
