Local Bond Market Notes and Bank Dividend Report
The local bond market showed little movement with small sales in Washington Gas 5 at 103, Washington Railway and Electric 4s at 80 1/2, and a bond at 82. Capital Traction 5s bid at 120 1/2, Potomac Electric 5s steady near 39 1/2, and Washington Gas 5s easing to 103 bid 103 1/8 asked due to a new issue price decision. The National Bank of Washington declared a 3 percent quarterly dividend payable January 2 to holders of record December 23. The International Banking Corp and Central Trust entered equity-proceeding action, placing International Typesetting Machine Co. in receivership with Erskine Hewitt appointed receiver. President Ritter contends insolvency is not present, but war-induced conditions and working capital limits necessitate extended-time machine sales and possible patent infringements. The case draws interest from stakeholders in Mergenthaler and Lanston stock ownership.
