The -223.73 means it was down that many points at the close of the day, and the final number (-2.63%) is the percentage the DOW was down. Percentages are a more accurate way of indicating the activity of a market, so they always include that figure. 8237.58 is where the DOW is currently at.

You need to be careful if annual returns over a multiple year period is calculated using the arithmetic mean or geometric mean. The arithmetic mean is the total of all year's total returns divided by the number of years. The true compounded annual return should be calculated by looking at the starting and ending value divided by the number years. In both cases, be sure all dividends and distributions are included in the total return and assume they are reinvested. This means you just can't look at the start and ending prices to determine returns, as many funds have a significant income component. This issue applies to annual returns as well.
