TRADING IS QUIET
ON D. c. EXCHANGE
Three Bond Issues Added to
Unlisted Group-Divi-
dend Voted.

Trading was quiet on the Washington
Stock Exchange as the week ended yes
terday, but three bond issues appeared
for the first time in the unlisted de-
partment.
Capital Traction closed at 48, Com
mercial National Bank sold at 223 and
Potomac Electric Power s per cent pre-
ferred came out at 1111a. Mergenthaler
Linotype opened at 871s and closed at
81. Bonds, which had been In pretty
good demand earlier in the week, were
neglected.
Following action by the board Of gov
errors, Mayhower Hotel IS, National
Press Building 51as and wardman Real
Estate Properties 1881 61as were added
to the unlisted securities.
The market closed with a bid of
IS for Mayhower IS, SO bid and So
asked for National Press Building 51ss
and SIS bid and IS asked for Wardman
Real Estate Properties 61ks.
The board Of governors state In reply
to many inquiries that the exchange
does not sponsor the securities in the
unlisted division and requires no COM
plete financial reports from them as is
the case with regularly listed securities.
The aim Of the unlisted department
Is to furnish the public with accurate
quotations on both the stocks and bonds.
They are called of every Saturday and
the bid and asked prices brought up to
date. In some instances in the past
local securities not listed on any ex-
| change have been sold at a figure rs
| points under the price which they were
| called upon to pay in case of a pur-
chase. The exchange listing protests
the public by putting damper on such
large spreads.

1000 ECONOMISTS
PROTEST TARIFF
JOIN IN LETTER TO PRES
HOOVER AND CONGRESS
ASK VETO

Washington, May 4.-More than
1000 economists representing 179
colleges throughout the country
Joined in a letter to President
Hoover and the congress today
protesting against enactment of
the tariff bill and asking that it
be vetoed if passed.
The Hawley-Smoot measure, the
conference report on which action
will DE taken up in the senate af-
ter the Parker nomination is dis
posed of this week, also was the
target for a statement by Repre-
sentative Collier, democrat, Miss
issippi, who said the bill left the
house yesterday carrying the
highest rates of any bill ever en-
acted by the American congress"
DR.. Clair Wilcox, associate pro-
fessor of economics at Swarth-
more college, presented the state
ment on behalf of the economists,
who included Irving Fisher, Yale;
Frank w. Taussig, Harvard;
Frank A. Fetter, Princeton; Yves
ley c.. Mitchell, Columbia; Henry
R. Seager, Columbia; J.. Laurence
Laughlin. Chicago; Willford l..
King, New York University; M. B..
hammond, Ohio tate; E. M. Pat
terson, University of Pennsylvan-
ia; Emory R. Johnson, dean of
Wharton school, Pennsylvania;
and H. S. Person, managing direc-
tor, Taylor society.
The statement expressed the
conviction on the part of the sign
ers that Increased restrictive du-
ties would be a mistake" and
would increase the cost of living
and iniure the great majority of
our citizens.
Few people could hope to gain
from such a change, the state
ment said. adding that the vast
majority of the farmers would
lose, American export trade in
general would suffer, and unem-
ployment would not be lessened.
Finally" it concluded, I'VE
could urge our government to
consider the bitterness which a
policy of higher tariffs would in
evitably inject into our interna-
tional relations"
It was contended the pending
bill violated the spirit of the world
economic conference agreement of
1927 in which the United States
was represented, and which re-
solved to discourage higher tar
ifs and to move in the opposite
direction.
Collier, a member of the ways
and means committee asserted all
the Is rate schedules have been
materially increased over existing
law.

Vacancies were many, and quail
tied teachers were few. At that
time the matter az certification
depended largely upon the urgen-
cy of the case.
Five years ago we could easily
place teachers who were normal

well recommended. Very little
was said about college credits for
high school teachers. Vacancies
were fewer and more teachers
were entering the field.
Today, teachers agencies can
place only those teachers who are
well qualified, highly recommend
ed and who are able to show a
satisfactory record of college cred

which they expect to teach. This
