Virginia Lewis and Florence Monk are
the directors, and under their instruc-
ton basket making and fancy work
have added to the delights of whole
some play and interesting games.
Games. folk dances. ball games and
races for the boys were all in the pro-
gram that led up to the grand climax
The grounds, especially when there is a
breeze as on Thursday are ideally stu

phitheater. There is diamond for the
ball games. while a wading pool, many
swings. teeters and a Giants Stride
oner a variety of amusement
Not one trouble married the after
noon. and the only regret was that it
meant the close of what to many will be
their summers outing.

CURB BROKERS AGAIN
DEFEAT POLICEMEN
Effort to Break Up New Street
Trading in Stocks
Fails.
ELUDE TWO WATCHERS
Driven to Cover, They Quickly
Return to Resume
Bartering.
ELUDE TWO WATCHERS

Two patro.men were stationed IN New
street practically all yesterday after
noon in an effort TO break UP the curb
market for trading in securities which
has sprung Up there since the closing OF
the Stock Exchange II was the second
attempt by the police to put a stop TO this
trading
The effort could hardly be called a sue
cess, as the brokers insisted in collecting
in little groups and carrying on their
trading in spite of the labors OF the
patrolmen to disperse them The curb
brokers were forced several times to take
refuge in nearby doorways. but they al
ways took up their trading ss soon as the
arrests were made.
When the exchange first closed the
trading In New street was confined to
small lots. but II is not unusual now to
hear man offer 100 shares of steel or
some other standard stock at a price not
far from that at which the market closed.
The Stock Exchange authorities made
the following statement yesterday:
The situation has been almost thor
oughly cleaned UP as far as clearing
house settlements are concerned and there
Is nothing now TO do but for the Stock
Exchange TO wait for the restoration OF
banding credit. When there Ia a credit
market the opening OF the exchange can
be considered. but not before"
The committee OF Ave continues at
work. but otherwise Wall Street Is doing
nothing but marking time. Trading in
groups where bids and offers have been
made has decreased The failure OF some
Of the traders to complete contracts has
caused loss of faith in the quotations
made In these groups and little attention
is now paid TO the statements coming
from them.
There has been larger volume Of bust
ness by stock Exchange firms through the
Clearing House. one firms transactions
In a day amounted TO 1000 shares.
The following notice has been issued by
George W. Ely, secretary Of the Stock EN-
change: "In sending buying or selling
orders for securities to tho Clearing House
members arc requested TO send separate
slips such as are used on the floor for
each order in each stock or bond begin

WEEKLY REVIEWS OF TRADE.

Dun's SAYS: AN encouraging sign Ia
tho fact that notwithstanding tho prevail
ing conservatism as to The Immediate
situation there are comparatively few
cancellations of orders. The railroads
naturally are not buying heavily AZ a time
when, with thc stock exchanges closed.
they have no ready market for their Sc
curities their earnings show decreases
as compared with former years. For
tho three weeks of August United States
roads IN their preliminary statement OF
gross earnings report Il loss OF 40 per
cent. The declining hank clearings dis
close tho smaller volume OF trade, but
these conditions are not the result of any
fundamental weakness within.
