Gently by B. F. Williamson, local

Company.
Williamson based his prophecy
largely upon the fact that his com.
pany has purchased thousands OF
acres Of land in and near Gains
vile with the object of putting out
milliens of these nut trees.
The planting of these millions OF

the establishment in 1885 of a

of extracting the oil and putting
it on the market.
The Chinese wood-oil, or tung.oil
tree, is one of the most interesting
of the large number of plants from
foreign countries which have been
introduced in the United States by
the foreign seed and plant intro

the source of an oil which has come
into wide use in the varnish and

is declared.

NEW YORK. February 25.-Today's
irregular decline on the stock eX-
change was to be set down partly to
outside and partly to inside causes.
There was nothing at the oil inquiry
In Washington to disturb sentiment,
but Wall street, which up to a week
ago had been counting with conf
dence upon the Mellon tax program,
was naturally depressed by the for
midable opposition which has de-
yeloped.
Hope is still felt that the Senate
will act very differently from the
House and that a bill will be worked
out in conference which will be- rea-
sonably satisfactory to business men
and will be approved by the Presi-
dent. This is something, however,
which will not be settled for two or
three months to come.
What perhaps had more iInm ediate
influence upon the market of the day
were q number Of 1923 corporation
reports, some Of them showing what
was expected, others distinctly dis
calculated to promote speculative en-
thusiasm. The one thing that was
constantly said, even from the be-
ginning Of 1928. was that 1t was to be
good year SO far as gross business
was concerned. but year OF stiff
