GRAND CIRCUIT
 RACES MOVE TO
 HARTFORD TRACK
Horses in Senli-Final to $6O,0OO Hambletonian Stake at Goshen on August IF

Goshen, N. r., Aug 10--The Grand Circuit was q step nearer its picturesque climax to-day as horse. men bade farewell to Salem, N. H., to invade Hartford, Conn, the semi-fnal to Goshen and the $60,- 900 Hambletonian stake August 17. Little work remained to be done by the campaigning thrce-year-o stars which are to meet in the big test of the year In harness racing's richest event.
 The result of their meeting in Salem wrought no material change in the picture of the race as it appears to countless thousands who have been watching the Grand Circuit in its movements from Cleveland. to Toledo. to Buffalo and Salem.
 The Hambletonian, promising new thrills to trotting horse fans, remains very much an open race with at least six youngsters to be figured when the scoring begins down past the judges stand at the Goshen mile track.
 Capacity Crowd
 Meanwhile Goshen is beginning to reflect the nearness of the big stake which will make its third annual appearance there, in the neighborhood of the foaling place of Hambletonian 10 for which the race Is named. Always an import ant social event because of its charitable aspect, plans are being completed for seating the largest crowd ever to attend a Grand Cir cult meeting in the historic old city.
 According to A. Saunders, sec- retary of the Goshen Mile Track association, the advance sale of boxes has been heavier than usual both for Hambletonian Day and the remaining four days of the Grand Circuit meeting there. The track has been in excellent condi- ton for several weeks, since it's idleness for more than a month has given officials every opportun- ity to get 1t in shape for the big race.
 The covered grandstand on the east side of the pear shaped track and the temporary seats on the broad lawn will permit seating Of about 10000 persons while tempo rary stands on either side and in the enclosure will make room for nearly as many more.
 Charitable Objective
 As in the two years past, the Hambletonian Stake will be held for the benefit of the Goshen hos pital, the little institution that looks out over the track from the north end of the park. It was here several years ago that William H. Cane, New Jersey sportsman and president of the Goshen Mile Track association, was nursed back to health after suffering compound fractures of both legs in a spill I during an amateur trotting race. Since that time he always has made the little hospital his favor | ite charity and in 1880 he deter \ mined to make the Hambietonian | Stake a Goshen fixture and tho | leading Grand Circuit charity event of the year for the benefit or
 No profit, therefore. is derived | from the Hambletonian Stake either in entry fees or gate re- H ceipts. The Goshen Track bids for the privilege of holding the race. adding the money paid to the value of the race. Since the num- ber of starters this year promises Ito be considerably larger than usual, 1t is likely the value of the trace win exceed s60.oo0. MT Cane 1gaid.

 Berkeley, Calf, Aug S-That challenge issued several months ago from this university town might well have been broadened to include 'California's Sons for California's Crew for California's Olympics." Only one of the entire boatload that went undefeated through the collegiate and pre-. Olympic season came from outside California. And he was--of all things-the coxswain, the only man who rode free. Little Norris Graham, 121-pound steersman, came down to Berkeley from Pendleton, Ore, four years ago. He handled the ropes for the varsity in 1881 and 1892.
 The varsity sweepswingers ana two alternates named for the Olym- pics came from California cities Burton Jastram and Charles Chandler from Oakland; Ed Salis- bury from Walnut Grove: Jimmy Blair from Placerville; Duncan Gregg from Strathmore; Dave Dun lap from Yountville; Harold Tower from Lodi and Winslow Hall from Piedmont.

IN OIL DIVIDENDS
Estimate for First Quarter Not
Far Below Last Quarter
of 1881.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 27.-Cash
dividend payments by the companies
of the Standard Oil group in the first
quarter of 1882 are estimated at $46,-
717,367 compared with $48,53O,23O In
the fourth quarter of 1881 and $685.
l01 ,997 in the first quarter of 1881, ac-
cording to records compiled by Carl H.
Pforzheimer S1 Co. Two companies
have not yet taken action on their divi-
dendS for the first quarter, but in the
present compilation regular payments
are assumed.
The decline in payments in the first
quarter of this year compared with
the same period of 1881 reflects in part
the passing of the dividend by Prairie
Pipe Line Co., which paid $3,037 900 in
the 1881 quarter, and reduction In
payments by several other companies.
Standard Oil Co. of California re-
duced the quarter dividend rate from
6212 cents to so cents a share in the
current quarter, while Standard Oil
Co. of Indiana reduced the rate from
so cents to 25 cents quarterly in the
third quarter of 1881.

TRADERS WATCHING
SHORT SALE PROBE
Market Followers Also Await
Result of Government Credit
Aid Program.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 27.-Seldom
if ever during the long bear market
have professional operators been more
reluctant to take stand on either side
than they are today. The outside in
trest is non-existent, SO far as actual
trading goes. Undoubtedly the quota
tions are carefully followed and un-
doubtedly there is a potential interest
in the market, but it is not productive
of commissions nor does it increase the
volume of transactions.
One cause of the inactivity is the
controversy over the part short selling
plays in the economics of the market.
Needless to say, the majority of active
traders are on the side of President
Whitney of the exchange, and indorSe
his defense of the practice made before
congressional committee. 1t Is fair
to say that there is minority in the
Street but until it is apparent just
what action Congress will take, If any,
both buying and selling are restricted.
The efforts of the administration to
bring defiation to a halt and to turn
the business tide are viewed SYM
pathetically and hopefully, but until
signs OF business activity, and in in
ObdbCAllCAiIo, bllC IldA hCO
is disappointingly small. There have
been too many false starts to allow of
any discounting marketWise of trade
revival.
In no one quarter would improvement
be made more welcome than in the
railway field. The January earning
statements proved a bitter pill even fer
spectators and investors, who have
taken so much unpleasant medicine in
the past two or three years. Earnings
ou9ht to be little better in the Feb
ruary reports, If only because they will
reflect the wage reduction and yet
what Is wanted Is increased traffic.
When that comes, it is safe guess
that the market response will be i'm
mediate and emphatic.
The most hopeful feature Of the trad
ing this week has been the fact that
various industrial stocks, of the type
generally designated as Specialties,
which have been able to report larger
earnings than in the corresponding
period a year ago, have moved ahead
regardless OF the trend in the general
list. There are not many of these, but
there are some prominent ones.
Strangely enough, stocks have not
, been helped materially by the improve
ment in bonds. 1t may be that the rise
| in the fixed interest obligations has not
been emphatic enough to influence the
buying of equities, or it may be that the
| movement in the senior securities Is dis
| trusted as artificial" but whatever the
cause, the fact remains.

PRACTICAL SAVINGS
PLAN IS ENDORSED
Head of Bankers Association
Calls for Return of
Thrifty Habits.

Harry j. Haas president OF the Amer
lean Bankers Association, has issued a
new call to thrift, in which he makes
a practical plea to bank depositors to
| follow the old roads to prosperity
Thrift is word to conjure with, he
declares in the Bankers Journal, add
! ing that ''itS workings are an open book
! ings, but mystery to those who know
| it not. Thrift must be the economic
corner stone in the era of financial
reconstruction that we are now enter
! ing. use thrift not merely as a
catchword Of prudence, but as con-
| crete financial fact of importance in
business stability There is no general
| economic panacea for prosperity which
can replace the good old-faShioned
habit of personal thrift" the banker
| asserts.
Make budget to cover your expenses
and allow a fair share Of your income
to be laid aside for the, rainy day.
Make will, so that when you die your
savings shall be distributed as you de-
sire and not wholly according to
intestate laws. Provide out of your In
come an arnuhpt according to your
ability for the /. 1gment of life insurance
premiums as a sure means of savings
aAu PIVfAuilis vi yOuI 1dLil4y WHICH
you have paSkN away. Build your
air castles If you like for future home
and they will most likely come true If
you approach them along the safe
highway of thrift.
Bound to Prosper.
eff you will do these things constantly
and persistently you are bound to- get
ahead financially Then when the time
arrives that you have funds for invest
ment, be sure to make your inquiries
before you buy. Your banker will be
| glad to assist you. He is interested in
your prosperity because as you progress
so does his bank.
"You may feel that the amount you
have in your savings account is not of
| any great Importance, but those VINO
| have savings in a bank to fall back 90
in the event of unemployment will ten
! you differently.
TOO many people fail to save as they
should during prosperous times and
/ when reverses come they are unpre-
| pared to bridge over the lean period
| until good times come again.
Answers Attacks on Banks.
Some people seem to have the idea
money and that If they would loan it
more freely to finance construction
and other projects that it would be
the way to give business the. needed
| Stimulant and decrease unemployment
/ While the total of deposits in all classes
! of banks amounted to approximately
/ $4,000 100000, and large as these fig
ures seem, they are $4,000, 100000 less
than they were four years ago.
ITO meet this reduction banks have
! had to reduce their loans and invest
ments accordingly. After all, the
money in banks does not belong to the
banks or bankers, as such, nor Goes it
originate with them. 1t belongs to the
depositors of the banks and only as
! the deposits increase are banks able to
/ extend new loans to their customers
| 1t is true that loans themselves cause
| deposits to increase, but the start OF
this upward movement must first come
from the deposits.
Looking back at the past, let us learn
something for the future"

POUND STERLING GAINS.
Demand Increases During Week,
Strengthening British Currency.
BY LEONARD J. REID,

BY LEONARD J. REID,
Associate Editor of the London Economist.
Special Gable to The Star.
LONDON, February 27.-The new.
of the week illustrates the capacity OF
public psychology to influence capital
movements without material change in
situation.
Though there has been little visible
betterment in economic conditions in
Great Britain and a progressive dete-
rioration elsewhere in Europe, the re-
duction in our bank rate, following
upon growing appreciation of the sta
bility of the British budget and British
banks and also what is now believed TO
be a favorable turn in our balance Of
payments, stimulated rather than dis
couraged the foreign demand for
sterling Many abroad regard the
pound as undervalued in view of the
comparative levels Of gold and sterling
prices.
Liquidation Of what proved q sub
stantial bear position in sterling was
accelerated by temporary cessation of
Withdrawals of London balances by the
Banque de France. This prompted
some speculative buying of exchange on
hopes for appreciation of the pound
notwithstanding the marked decline in
London open market rates for money.

DULL BUT FIRM MARKET
EXPECTED BY TRADERS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 27.-Over rs
per cent of the current stock market
trading, which has averaged around
100000 shares a day since Tuesday,
represents the operations of profess
sional traders. They have no fixed po-
sition on the market and devote their
time to scalping small profits. Direct
commission house business is INSULT
cient to pay even the minor items in
overhead costs.
The general impression is the market
will continue dull for some time, but
steady, and that this is the way the
substantial interests in the Street would
have 1t. They are anxious to give the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
and the new banking bill an oppor-
tunity to justify themselves before en-
couraging the public back into securi-
ties.

that If prices, after stabilization, show
a tendency gradually to advance, own

wide distribution of securities in the

a body of opinion that may have a
stronger effect in promoting trade &C
