stores Combination.
Then willingness Of the Paterson
Downing Company to surrender any
share Of its independence as an ex-
porter Of naval stores is reported to
be responsible for the withdrawal Of
the Downing Company of Brunswick
from joint action with the other con-
Germs that enter into the composition
of the Consolidated Naval Stores Com
pany.
The Paterson-Downing Company is a
large holder of the stock of the Down
ing Company, and there is good au-
thority for the statement that its in
fiuence, cast on the other side of the
balance, determined the latter COM
panys action. The proffer of a COM
mUnity of interest or even closer con-
nection with the Florida Export Com
pany. the exporting branch of the Con-
solidated Naval Stores Company,
which was made the Paterson Down
ing Company. was declined and fol-
lowing this declination came that Of
the Downing Company.
This action must have come as a
considerable surprise to the officers of
the Consolidated Naval Stores Com
pany, for in all the gatherings that
preceded its recent informal organiza-

president of the Downing Company,

il was definitely announced that the
Downing Company would enter the
consolidation. though it would not, as
would the other companies affected.
completely liquidate its separate bust

1t was noticeable, however. that at
the Jacksonville meeting no stock was
assigned to Mr.. Downing, nor was he
chosen ON the board of directors. This
indicated indecision and the failure of
the negotiations with the Paterson
Downing Company unquestionably set
