of the common and 1900 shares of the

The street was much exercised over the
declines. although very little OF the stock
Is held by commission-hOuses or by spec
ulators "a lqrel Tho cquse Of the -four
and milling slump was the liquidation
Of long stock. partially by insiders, ana
the withdrawal Of all inside support.
Officers Of the company stated that GER
tain insiders who have mad buying orders
i'm the stock ever since il was listed found
that the general weakness Of the stock
market was inducing liquidation by trade
interests. and that the recent death Of c.
A. Pnlsbury might also lead to liquida-
ton. They consequently withdrew their
orders, and left the stock TO take care of
itself.
Thomas A. Mcintyre. treasurer Of the
company. who is regarded in Wall street
as the most important of the directors,
said: There is no real reason for such
decline There is nothing that warrants
it, and present prices by no means eX-
press the value of the stock. We are
making money Present earnings show

senator BoyI>in and Mr.. Jones'

Colonel r. T.. Boykn. member of the
state Senate from Isle of Wight, and one
OF the candidates In his district for re-
election, was I'm the city yesterday. and
fled with Chairman Ellyson. Of the State
committee. his request for an adjudica-
uon of the factional differences in the
lhirty-second Senatorial District.
Senator Boyhn also submitted TO Chair
man fIiyson the request OF Mr. Thomas
y. Jones, the candidate for the House Of
belegates, request for an arbitration
OF the dispute as between himself and
Dr. Bradshaw, as TO which is the regular
Democratic nominee.
These two cases will be passed upon
by the committee at its meeting at the
Jefferson next Thursday morning. Sena-
tor Boykin said yesterday that he had
not the slightest doubt Of the justice Of
his claim. and he thought the committee
would look at his side as he did.
Il do not think our opponents will sub
nit their case 10 the decision OF the COM
mittee.' said Senator Boykin. Il wrote
Mr. William Stands. my opponent some
ten days ago, notifying him Of my inten-
ti0n of going before the State Committee
with my case. / have never received a
reply from him. / do not think he nor
Dr. Bradshaw, will submit their cases.
Il am perfectly willing to submit my
claims, and so is Mr.. Jones. If the COM
mittee decides against ne. we will each
give our heartiest support to Mr.. Stands
and Dr. Bradshaw"
Ii is worthy Of note that while Senator
Boykin has been a member Of the House
and the Senate and Commonwealth At
torney for several years. he has never
before had to fight for nomination. 1t
is understood there was no opposition
In Isle of Wight to his denomination, but
the convention broke up in "A row over
