tors at the Jerome Park and Harlem boat races.

err tone to the remainder OF the list but the

cause, gradually declined from 5jis to jlss. with
a rally, however, TO S. at the close. At the
FIRST board New Jersey Central was conspicuous
for Its decline OF "a per cent. from 10

quarterly July dividend, and hence the scran-
BILE to sell out. There Is a movement Oh foot To
institute an investigation into the financial con-
duion OF the company, aud make puolic its
