Woggan1an's Paintings
Brought Good Prices
Difference of Opinion Exists, However, as to
Whether Sale as a Whole Realized
Cost of Collection

..If Thomas E. Waggaman had invest
ed all the money he spent on his art
collection in pictures alone, instead of
putting NEST of It in Japanese art OBJ
iects. as he did, his estate would have
realized a handsome profit from the
sale just ended In New York
This statement was made 10 Times
reporter today by Richard N Brooke.
the weil-known Virginia artist. who has
for mary years been prominent IN
Washington art circles. and who pur-
chased many of the pictures that form
ed part of the famous art collection OF
the bankrupt real estate man. The
sale ended yesterday. and the grand
total Of receipts was $341, 53S.
Does Not Equal Cost.
MY opinion" continued Mr.. Brooke,
sis based upon what 1 saw at the Wag-
gaman sale in New York several days
ago. The pictures were selling at figures
much higher than their cost, while the
Japa ncse art OBJ +ects fell below the prices
paid for them by Mr.. Waggaman. I
was familiar with the cost of most
of the pictures and had a fair idea of
their present value. but 1 was over
whelmed with surprise at the beauty
and magnitude of the japanese coilec-
ton.
These japanese art objects were pur-
chased for the most part by Mr.. Moore
and Mr.. Seujio, welI-know experts II
japanese art objects, and they alone
know the real value of them. The val
uatfon made by the appraisers for tht
trustee was, of course. below the rea
value of the collection, since it was
made merely to protect the trustee, SC
that to say the collection went for les:
than its value amounts to nothing
Short of Expectations.
AT the same time I am of the opin
ion that the total receipts of the SALE
of the whole collection do not equa
the amount of money paid for 1t by Mr.
anese collection went. 1 should say. 70
about three-ffths of the amount paiC
for 1t. The pictures will show d Sigh
gain, but not enough to offset the los
on the japanese objects.
1T is curious to note, in this connec
ton, that where Mr.. Waggaman viii

| of getting hold of paintings by old mas
ters, and paid high prices for them

are being realized. When L was in New
/ York I saw TWO pictures which cost $50

profit. At that rate the total receipts

GREATER OIL SUPPLIES
CAUSE PRICES TO FALL

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Feb. 4-'Fhe
Standard Oil Company today reduced
the price on all grades of refined oil /
cent per gallon. Ohio State test is now
quoted at S1z cents a gallon.
Repeated reductions in the price of oil
for several weeks past have attracted a
great deal of attention. When one of the
Influential Washington represent ives
OF the Standard Oil Company was asked
what was the reason governing the re-
cent frequent reductions in prices, he
replied: 1T is si'eply a question OF sup
PLY and demand"
The assertion has been made that the
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania oil
fields were sustaining Il shrinkaGe In
output This assertion is denied. This
output has had to encounter a larger
consumptiVe demand.
Lately, the Kansas and Indian Terri
tory supplies have become Il highly i'm

OF oil
In the worlds markets there is a
kcener competition and Il larger output

syndicat- of German bankers has
entered aggressiVely into the oil bust
ness iii Silesia and 3oumania.
The Russian oil fields controlled by
the RotlsSchiIds are being worked more
extensively.
Contrary to the general impression.
there is now no agreement between the
Standard Oil Company and the Roths-
childs regarding division of the world S
oil markets.
The Export trade contest between
america and Russia is keen and neither
of the big controlling factors asks
favors.

medical treatments are wrons-why medicine
