BONDS ARE DULL
IN NARROW RANGE
Market Average Unchanged,
With Volume Lowest
Since August 18.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer,


NEW YORK, September 1.-The
Bond Market merely went through the
motions Of trading in today's brief
session and prices, as a whole, failed
to move in any direction.
The proceedings were the dullest
since August 10, transfers totaling only
$4,051 900, par value. The Standard
Statistics average for so domestic cor
porate issues was unchanged at 84.1
On the week this average showed a
decline Of 4/10 of a point.
Federal Issues Steadied.
United States Government securities
steadied following Secretary Morgen-
thau's overnight announcement that
no inf1ationary gesture would be made
in the September-October financing
involving more than 81 10000 900.
Exchange offerings for both the GER
tificates, maturing September IS, and
the Liberty fourth Ans, called for Oc-
tober Is, will be made in the usual
way, the Secretary said. Terms of the
refunding proposals are to be made
public September TO-.
In view of the conferences being
held between President Roosevelt and
Treasury experts, some banking quar-
ters voiced the opinion that the ad-
ministration might attempt a large
long-term bond issue. This was
doubted, however, in other circles,
which believed short-term paper would
continue to be used.
The turnover in the Government
listed section amounted to only about
$l,900,000. There were seven advances
ranging from 1882 to 1882 of point
and five losses of 1892 to 1882. Eight
issues were unchanged.
Most Rails Easier.
Most of the rails were bit easier,
but some liens of Santa Fe, Chesa-
peake g. Ohio, Chicago g. Western In

banking house be clothed in mourning
for 80 days"
In January, 1886, the bank was or
ganized under the national banking
act as the National Bank of Washing
ton, this forward stride, of course,
being an outstanding landmark in the
whole 125-year period.
After turning the corner into the
present century, another vital step
was recorded when the institution
purchased, in April, 1907, all the as
sets of the nearby Central National
Bank and assumed all its liabilities.
The consolidation proved highly fruit
full and a rather remarkable instance
connected with it was the fact that
not a single Stockholder in either in
stitution opposed the merger"
At another milestone in its career,
the banking house paid to its stock
holders special cash dividend of
245 per cent, "the largest dividend
lever paid in Washington and one of
the largest cash dividends ever paid
by any bank in the United States"
according to the institutions records.
So much for the past. The bank
now is starting its second century
and a quarter with Clarence F. Nor
ment, chairman of the board of direc-
tors, and George L. Starkey, an able
and conservative financier who has
rendered more than 40 years service
to the institution, as its president

At the close of business yesterday,
the banks deposits were in excess of
$9,000,0 900. Since the institution cele-
brated century of progress in 1909,
continued steady growth has been
enjoyed. A thriving branch is main
tanned at 1l2l-ll23 Water street

When combined with good manage
