Columbi. Graphophone Dividend.

Wall Street was treated to its daily
portion OF dividend passing yesterday
when the directors of the Columbia
Graphophone Company announced that

per cent. on its preferred stock had been
deferred. TN view of the present busi-

operations OF this company in common
with practically all other lines of indus

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
A Day Of Raiding.

The stock market was yesterday "a
series Of raids conducted by bears who
picked out one stock and another and
then, without warming slammed them
as hard as they could. That the efforts
of the raiders were successful Is indi-
Gated by the numerous new lows for the
year recorded. especially among sugars.
Particular attention was directed against
American Sugar. Baldwin, Corn Prod
dcts. Marine preferred and Industrial
Alcohol. Alcohol was the irst TO feel
the assaults of the bears. Then came
Baldwin and Marine. and just before the

Rail Labor Wage Points.

Although the national agreements put
on the railroads during Federal control
added $500, 900, 900 to their total payroll,
it cannot be assumed, according to rail-
way executives. that that sum will be
saved by the abrogation of the national
agreements on July l and their emplace-
ment by new rules being negotiated. AT
conferences SO far held on the New
Haven and several other roads the labor
leaders are holding out for substantially
the principles embodied in the existing
agreements. From which 1t appears that
the chief points at issue will go back tc
the Railroad Labor Board for final set
tlement. Although railroad men hope ir
that event for a generally favorable de-
cision, 1t is not likely. they say. that the
board will restore the rules in effect be
