STOCK MARKET
 TONE IS FIRM
Strength Of Oils Indicates Speculative Uneasiness Over
 Probe Is Abating

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Stock prices displayed a firm tone in today's mar ket, with business on reduced scale because of the absence of many trad CTS who were taking three-day hol- iday.. Bullish sentiment was created by Washington reports of a strengthening of republican forces on the tax bill, the decision of the French Chamber of Dep uties 10 support the Poincare tax plan and favorable trade and business news.
 Strength of the oil shares, which were bid up from the start, indicated that speculative uneasiness over the Washington oil investigation was being allayed. Atlantic Refining moved up Az points to 128h, and Tidewater advanced to Al, while net gains of a point or more were recorded by General As phalt, Pure Oil and Pierce Oil pre- ferped, most of the others improving fraetionally.
 Steel shares displayed a strong un- dertone in further reflection of reports that the United States Steel Corpora tioE was operating at 94 per cent of capacity, only per cent below the rec ord, and of expanding operations by the independents. United States Steel com mon sepened 34 higher at 104h, and moved within narrow range, closing at Che opening price. Republic and Bethlehem Steels improved fractionally. Otis Steel preferred moved up 11a to II, "a new top, on speculative expecta- tion of an early resumption of divi- dends and reports that 1923 earnings will show operating profits of about 900 as against loss of $1 200, ,000 in 1922.
 Passing of the Calumet and Hecla dividend. necessitated by the low price of copper. brought about some selling Of copper shares, Utah dropping IF points iand Anaconda l.
 SOYfIes of the stronp spofS in fba ip dustrial group were Baldwin, Dupont, General Electric, United States Alcohol, United States Rubber, Bosch Magneto and GuyameI Fruit, up to 2 points,
 Strength and activity of Southern Railway, which established a record top for all time at 49%, up 1A, was the feature of the trading in railroad shares. Other strong spots in that group were Norfolk & Western, Lack awanna, New Orleans, Texas & Mexico, Erie second preferred, Western Mary land second preferred and Western Pa cific, all up to points.
 Active buying of French francs, which rallied about 10 points to around 435 cents on news of the adoption of Premier Poincares taxation program by the Chamber of Deputies, was the feature of the otherwise quiet trading in the foreign exchange market. De- mand sterling held fairly steady around $4.3l, and other European currencies showed only nominal changes. Argen- tine pesos were strong

BUILDING CONTRACT LET

Bids for the construction of IS sets
of buildings on tracts in the second
unit of the state land settlement pro-
ject were opened Monday by Project
Manager, j. c. Scott, N. ]. Mcleod
a contractor of Walla Walla, had the
lowest bid and if he can demonstrate
his ability to perform he will be
awarded the contract. Mr.. McLeod's
bid was $1495.28 per set or 52,335.00
for the IS sets. This is to cover all
labor and material. S. S. Schuler,, who
has heretofore been the lowest bidder
for the construction of these sets OF
buildings on the state tracts, was $40
per set higher than Mr.. Mcleod. Two
other contractors from Yakima sub
nittted bids, both of which were
higher than either the Mcleod or
Schuler bids.
The cost of constructing the sets oi
buildings on the tracts in the first unit
have ranged between $1446.67 and
S1625. The sets of buildings on the
second Unit are identically the
same as in, the first except that
in the second unit improvements
are to be made in the dairy barns
that will cost the contractor approxi-
mately SIS per tract more.
]. c. Scott was in Walla Walla
Wednesday working out the details Of
the contract and the bond with Mr.
Mcleod and it is expected that the
construction work will start at once OF
as soon as Mr.. Mcleod can assemble

It has been said that scientists have
recently discovered why the local ra-
dio receiving set owners have had such
a hard time getting the broadcasting
stations such as Schenectady, Mukil-
tco, Kalamazoo and Squeedunk. 1t is
on account of the high interference
caused by local unpainted buildings.
The noise heard is caused by unpaint-
ed buildings squealing for paint. But
Branch, the Painter, says that he has
a remedy for it-pure paint that does
wonders. For both inside and out
side use. See your painter first.-Adv
