The July disbursements for dividends and
interest on securities listed on the Wash
mgton stock exchange reach an aggre-
gate of over three-quarters of a million Of
dollars This amount does not represent
the entire sum that Is paid out on this ac-
count. as in a number of instances neither
the interest nor the dividend period falls

sent one-half of the entire disbursements
