Unlisted Securities
Show Few Changes
In 10-Month Period
Bank Stock Quotations
Higher Than Majority
Of Other D. C. Issues
By EDWARD C. STONE.
Although there has been some
shading of prices on Washington se
curities sold over the counter, both
bonds and stocks are winding up
the first 10 months of 1939 about
where they started. These issues
did not share in the "war boom"
advances a month ago, and had no
recession afterward.
These stocks, which are not listed
on the Washington Exchange, did.
however, feel the effects of the er
ratic moves in New York. It is said
In the financial district that some
out-of-town holders of local issues
W'ere persuaded to part with them
and switch into so-called war se
curities, held likely to go higher be
cause of conditions in Europe.
Switching by some investors in
other cities has made more of these
issues available to Washingtonians, a
step toward repatriation of these se
curities, as one dealer said today.
People outside the Capital know less
about Washington issues than is
known here. This makes them more
willing to sell certain holdings and
pick up issues which may or may
not move more rapidly in war times.
Bond Quotations Steady.
Recent quotations show the price
firmness of many unlisted Wash
ington securities. Consolidated Title
6s are the highest-priced bonds in
the list, the bid now standing at
100. The bid for Hamilton Realty
first 5s stands at 99 with 102 asked.
For Barber & Ross 4s 94 is bid. La
Salle Apts North Actuals. 40 bid
and 55 asked; South Actuals, 55 bid
and 70 asked.

Interesting. National Metropolitan

Brokers May Get Two Holidays.
There is a possibility that Wash
ington brokerage houses connected
with the New York Stock Exchange
may get two Thanksgiving holidays.
Brokers said today that they now
expect to observe Thanksgiving on
November 23. the new date set by
President Rooosevelt. It is expected
that Gov. Lehman will name the
same date tor the holiday in New
York State. However, it the New
York State official should stick to
the old date, November 30, Wash
ington brokers would have no choice
but to observe the second holiday.
This, they say. they are willing to
do. The Lehman proclamation is
expected this week, although it had
not come over the tickers up to noon
today, and his decision will settle
the problem lacing all New York
Exchange brokers in the Capital
one turkey dinner or two.
Washington banks will all be
closed on November 23. although
some of the out-of-town banks with
which they do business will be open.
Officials say, however, this is not a
serious matter.
Outlook Best In 21 Months.
A note of caution against over
optimism in a long-range view of
the effects of the war in Europe
on American business is sounded in
the monthly survey on the condition
of business in the November issue
of Banking, official publication of
the American Bankers Association.
The war seems to be making
things easier for business, although
the feeling up to this time is not
entirely optimistic, the survey states.
Recovery, of course, had developed
quite a bit of momentum before
the first shot was fired and every
index was pointing to a continua
tion of the movement. Meanwhile,
no one really believes that prosperi
ty can be based on the destruction
of life and wealth.
The cross-index of business opin
ion compiled by Banking reveals
that 91 per cent of the bankers and
industrial leaders queried this
month think that their respective
businesses are improving or holding
up quite well.
On the whole, this is the most
favorable outlook recorded lor the
21 months that this index has been
compiled, the survey says.
Peoples Common at New Top.
Peoples Drug Stores common stock
scored another high mark for the
year on the Washington Exchange
today when 44 shares changed hands
at 35. up half a point from Saturday
and a full point from last Friday.
The stock closed with 33 bid and
36 asked. Today's transfer was the
first since the report, out yesterday,
showed such favorable earnings in
the first nine months of this year.
$1.94 a share against $1.57 per share
in the first nine months of 1938.
Anacostia & Potomac 5s appeared
on the board today, $1 000 transfer
taking place at 97>4, a substantial
gain since the last previous sale at
95*2. Other bid and asked prices
were firm.
The Treasury's offering to ex
change new 1 per cent notes for the
l-’s per cent Treasury notes which
mature on December 15 was ac
cepted by $515,210,900. or 97.9 per
cent of the maturing issue, Secretary
Morgenthau announces.

By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—Traders
generally cold-shouldered the stock
market today and the result was a
narrowly uneven swing in virtually
all departments.
The list moped at the start and
slept at frequent intervals through
out the session. The turnover of
around 600.000 shares was the small
est for a full day in about two weeks.
The encouraging part of the pro
ceedings, from the standpoint of
analysts, was that selling pressure
seldom was in evidence.
While fractional losses predomi
nated most of the time, feeble sup
port came in at the last and enabled
a few steels, motors, mail orders,
rails, coppers and aircrafts to reduce
early declines or post minor gains.
The "strangest of strange' wars,
as they referred to the European
embroglio in the financial sector,
apparently provided scant specula
tive incentives either way.
Many commission-house custom
ers remained in the "do-nothing”
ranks pending more light on just
what the allies are likely to spend
in this country if and when the
House gives its approval to the arms
embaigo repeal.
Domestic business, in the mean
time. continued favorable, although
there was some question as to
whether the recovery move might
not be near the peak, with a possi
bility ot tapering off in the next
, several months.
At the same time the opinion was
expressed in Wall Street that Gov
ernment armament spending at
home next year would act as a new
i "pump primer.”
Mild cheer was derived from the
estimate of the American Iron <s
Steel Institute placing this weeks
mill operations at 91 per cent of ca
pacity. up .8 of a point from last
week at a new top since the period
of May 19, 1937.
Among resistant shares were Beth
lehem Steel, Chrysler. General Mo
tors. Montgomery Ward. Sears Roe
buck. United Aircraft, Eastern Air
lines. Curtiss-Wright. International
i Telephone. Anaconda. Westing
i house. General Electric. Eastman
| Kodak, American Telephone, New
1 ^ork Central and Southern Railway.
Rising difficulties were encoun
j tered by United States Steel. United
States Rubber, Douglas Aircraft,
Western Union, Du Pont, Allied
Chemical and American Wrater
Works.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Oct. 30.—Profit taking
and spreading sales helped to de
press wheat prices today as the
market backed down from its best
level in more than a month.
Early gains of about % cent that
lifted December wheat to 87 for
; the first time since late in Sep
tember were canceled in late deal
ings. Prices dropped a cent from
the highs and closed fractionally
lower than Saturday. Some selling
was credited to spreaders who
bought wheat at Kansas City and
Minneapolis. The easy tone of
securities also unsettled the grain
market.
