SENSATIONAL INCREASES
in STANDARD OIL VALUES
Excessive Speculation in Shares
Extends to Stocks of Other
COMPANIES,

NEW YORK. October 11.-Sensa-
tional gains in prices of shares of
companies in the Standard Oil group
during the past week In response to
the announcements of proposed stock
dividends by two companie: and ru-
mors of such action by several more
have resulted in an appreciation Of
nearly 81 900. 100000 in quoted values
above the low prices Of the year. This
remarkable increase, without precedent
suit of extensive speculation. which has
extended to shares of other oil COM
panies and OF concerns holding large
corporate surpluses.

Jersey at today's closing price Of e3a
market value of Standard Oil of New
York at it's high of today showed an
increase of $275. 1000. 900 above the low
of the year. while Standard on OF In.
Standard Oil of California $4,000, 900
to their quoted values.
All of the other thirty three units.
which were split up by a decree of
the United States Supreme Court in
1911. also show substantial increases
since that time having increased
$4,000, 100000. Since the dissolution
the various units have distributed
more than $1.000,000,0 900 in cash divi-
dends, while the stock dividends, ex-
elusive of those announced this year.
have a market value of an additional
$1,000. 100000.
John D. Rockefeller is reported to
have owned 80 per cent of stock at
the time Of the dissolution decree.
He is known to have disposed of a
large part of his holdings to other
members Of his family, but had he
held his original shares they would
have increased approximately $l.OO0.-
100000 in eleven years. Of which
nearly $400.000,000 would have been
added this year.
Distribution of stock dividends is
said to have been decided upon to
forestall tax on undivided surplus,
which is reported to be in contempla-
tion by administration officials to
take care of the government deficit.
Stock dividends already have been
held not subject to taxation, as such,
by the United States Supreme Court.

ming of the year was $61, ,709,049 and

CITRUS FRUITS DO WELL.

Production of citrus fruits in Flor
ida for the season OF 1928 is esti-
mated at 100000 boxes. OF this
total about 100000 boxes will be
oranges and tangerines and about
6,600,000 boxes grapefruit. An early
forecast of the California orange
crop, made August /, is 13.750.000
boxes. Last season the commercial
citrus crop of Florida was approx
imately 13,300.000 boxes. of which
z 100000 boxes were oranges and
100000 boxes grapefruit. Last
years crop. however, would have
been nearer 100000 boxes if the
storm of October. 1921, had not de-
stroyed a large percentage of the
fruit on the west coast.

and 10000 head of cattle will be
moved to market from ranches along
the line of the Kansas City. Mexico

the purpose of making a plea for his
republic in series of public addresses,

However, Mayor Handley and a
number of Richmond citizens have in
terested themselves and will endeavor
to ascertain definitely within the next
few days regarding the movements of

that the schedule announced will not
be altered, Richmond officially will
