BY I. A. FLEMING.

The feature of today's inactive ses-
sion of the Washington Stock Ex-
change was the wide difference be-
tween the bid and the asked prices for
high grade bonds. precluding the pos
sibility of trading and suggesting the
necessity OF a moderate raising of bids
and a like lowering of asking prices
before transactions will be recorded.

one in which there were any sales,
with the opening price at S2i2 for
twenty-five shares and the final sales
at S2s4 forty-onc shares.
Washington Railway common was en-
tirely nominal. TN bid and So asked
for the common stock and S11A bid and

There vas some disposition on the part
of the brokers present to discuss strike
that during the strike year ago both
the Capitol Traction Company ana the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany showed increased earnings.
The only bond sale reported was of

the opening being the other way. Pront
taking and fresh professional activity
on the short side were responsible for
the changed conditions.
Most of the gossip from brokers'
Offices was inclined to bearishness. and
the declines may be accredited to the
acute International situation and the
disauieting news of the morning press.
Even the shipping shares. which were
so firm in the closing days of last week.
were soft; motors. which showed a
stiffening disposition early. showed
weakness: coppers were inclined to go
lower. and the whole industrial list
softened under selling pressure. United
States Steel and Industrial Alcohol gave
the best display Of strength in tho list.
Motors Reversal Is Marked.
The reversal in the motors was most
marked, General Motors losing 5 points,
Studebaker and MAXWELL more than 4
point. Bethlehem Steel held it own
after losing a two-point rally. but the
B stock was weak for loss Of 3h
points.
Coppers and other industrials in the
metal group, Smelters, Inspiration Cop

The sales for the first two hours of
the session were but 42S.000 shares, in

And beard that swept the carpet clear,
And horns that touched the chandelier.

Three times was I compelled TO ride
The beast around the temple wide,
And whom tried the fearful mount
My hearts pulsations all could count
Twice did I make the circuit fair
with hold on horns on tail ana naif;
'Tfs on the third attempt and last.
When I presumed the danger past.
He pitched me clear OF horns and mead
And left me far below. for dead.
