An uninteresting session OF the To-
cal stock exchange yesterday was
featured by the sale Of ten shares

The quarterly dividend of "a per

Security Storage Company will pay
its quarterly distribution of per

Indications show that bankers are
slow in responding to the requests
OF the local Liberty Loan Committee
for reports on the total sales OF
the second issue. many having not
completed their records as yet.
The following analysis of the New

over the prospective status Of the
international situation. which at the
present time provides much food for
thought Just now it looks as though

Interpretation will be necessary tc
restore confidence in security values
even though many OF the high grade

rather ridiculous prices"
