but ONE STOCK MOVES
ON LOCAL EXCHANGE
Yesterdays Trading Weakest for
Several Days.

Yesterdays session of the local
Stock Exchange was one Of the slow
est and least productive of business
of any for some days.
The total record was fifteen shares
of Lanston Monotype stock at sS. As
a rule. the bid prices both for stocks
and bonds were lowered. not because
of any new weakness, but simply be-
cause of lack of buying orders and an
indisposition to take chances on hav-
ing bids filled.
The exchange Will stand adjourned
over liberty day, In order that the
members may do their full part in
making the loan a success.
The directors of the Washington.

have declared a dividend Of per
cent on the common stock of the cor
poration, payable October 81, to share.
holders OF record October 25.
This Is the initial dividend on the
common stock. While not a quarterly
or other periodical distribution. the
fact that the dividend was payable
out Of the surplus of the company up
to September 30 would seem to indi-
cate that 1t was for the nine months
ended with September and that the
stock might be considered a per
cent dividend payer in the future.
Some Washington and Baltimore in
terests have invested in the company
although II Is largely a Cleveland en-
terprise.
