change has been received By the

Following this action, the WASH

change Commission, in Philadel-
phia. The SEC usually takes q list
ing application under advisernent
for 80 days before trading is allowed.
Since Hecht Co. common was re-
Gently listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, and fully checked by the
SEC at that time, the Washington
Exchange has asked for acceleration
of approval and expects trading in
the issue will begin shortly.
Officials Laud Listing Plan.
Listing of the stock here Is con-
sidered highly important by ex-
change officials as 1t was widely dis
tributed in the Capital recently
when 191, SIS shares were sold to the
public at $2l.75 share. The par
value of the stock is SIS q share.

tial quarterly dividend Of 80 cents
per share was paid on July 81.
The Washington store accounted
for about one-half of the firms total
business sales for the year ended
January 81. 1914. amounting to $40,-
544,947 When listed. the stock will
take Its place on the Exchange along
with two other department store
stocks, Woodward & Lothrop and
Garflnckel Hecht common has
sold on the New York Exchange
this year at high of 221a and a
low Of 2034, closing last week at

Banking Education Stressed.
Oficers of Washington Chapter,
American Institute of Banking, held
the annual fall educational meeting
last night at the New World Res
taurant, 1906 Rhode Island avenue
NE, with Thomas j. Norris, Bank
of Commerce and Savings, educa-
tional chairman, presiding.
Mr.. Norris urged employees OF all
the banks to get just as many other
bank workers into the institute as
possible. He was backed up in this
plea by G. Bruce FrantZ, president
of Washington chapter; Carl Dun
nington, Bank of Commerce & Saw
ings, chief consul, and w. L. San
derson. Hamilton National, a MEM
ber of the national executive coun-
Gil and past president of Washing
ton Chapter. Faculty members
spoke and a buffet supper was
served.
Financial District Comment.
RAYMOND c.. Marx, controller OF
the Riggs National Bank, is back at
his desk after a most painful illness
as the result of fall from a STEP
ladder while putting up awnings.
Arriving in New Hampshire for a
vacation, he had to start back to
Washington in five hours.
The Savings Bank Division of the
ABA is launching campaign to
revive interest in thrift in the saw
ings banks, including special ef-
fort to build up savings deposits.
Few brokers or bankers in the
Capital look for any sharp break in
the stock market, when Germany
collapses. The end of the Europeap
war is believed to have been we'll
discounted, leaving peace stocks
In a good position to advance.
Instructors in Washington Chap
ter, American Institute of Banking,
this fall will include Wilbur M.
Baughman. Ralph Endicott and S.
l.. Simonian. Glass work will start
on Monday, September 25.
