'The most careful and business like management of his estate is disclosed by the records which he kept. Each week he received re- ports which gave in detail the cost of labor and the returns from the fields. When the British Govern ment gave the Virginia veterans of the French and Indian wars POO coo acres of western lands, Wash ington was chosen to manage and distribute the grant. In 1763 a company was organized to under take to drain a part of the Dismal Swamp and to manufacture lumbA~ from the timber in that region. He was in charge of these operations.
 Owned Stock In Banks
 ~He owned stock in the Bank of Alexandria and in the Bank of Georgetown. His explorations to the Ohio impressed him with the advantages of an exchange of com merce with the western country and the Atlantic seaboard. AS a result he became associated with the James River Company and with the Potomac River Company. Later he was president of both companies.
 Washington was among the first to appreciate the value Of land as a source of wealth. When he died he possessed lands in Ohio, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, iKentucky and the Northwest Terri tories which he appraised at S400,- eco He was one of the foremost business men of his day and could have been successful in the modern business world
 The Governor, in commenting on Washington's attitude toward re- ligion Laid emphasis on his toler- ence.
 Deep Respect For Religion
 Throughout his long career, !" the Governor declared he dis played the deepest respect for the religious beliefs Of his fellow men He abhorred intolerance and big ctry. Everywhere and always, he recognized the right of the individ- ual to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. He believed in religion and morality as essential to the support of free institutions. He firmly and devoutly believed in a Supreme Being"
 Washington'S superior talents as statesman were warmly praised by the Governor. With reference to Washington's attendance at the Constitutional Convention and his service as President. the Governor observed:
 Responsible Fer Constitution
 Ut may be asserted without fear of contradiction that had it not been for his wisdom, his high ideals and his great influence, our consti- tuition would not have been writ ten or adopted.

 Appli $ To Present Time
 In referring to the present eco- homie depression the Governor quoted a statement of Washington made during a period of unrest in the early days of the republic. Washington said:
 The game is yet in our hands. To play it well is all we have to do. Nothing but harmony. honesty. industry and frugality are neees- sary to make us a great and happy people

JUNIOR RAIL BOND
GROUP SELLS OFF
Decline Continued as Offer

Ely CHARLES F. SPEARE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 21.-Although
the pressure on second and third grade
railroad bonds today was not so great
as on Tuesday there were further evi-
denccs that holders Of securities OF this
type were liquidatiny in order to eStab-
llsh losses for income tax statements.
Quite a large number of what are Ordi-
nerily inactive issues were quoted for
bids early in the day and later sold at
concessions ranging from 3 to 5 points
from their last previous prices. This
rather obviously suggested shifting of
investments for the primary benefit OF
reducing tax payments.
The railroad group suffered further
declines which were most conspicuous
in such issues as New York Central
Refunding 5s. off over 2 points, in Bal
timore & Ohio Refunding 5s and IS, in
Central of Georgia 51as. which dropped
S points, and in Southern Railway As.
New Haven IS were off p points. The
semi official announcement that be-
tween so and 70 per cent Of the Balti-
more & Ohio 412s of 1888 had been de-
posted steadied the market for this
issue.
The latest phase of the war in the
oil industry reacted against sCme of
the bonds of producing and refining
COlllpdlIltS WHICH, lldu UtSIl CUuSplCu-
ously strong lately A 2-point decline
in American Smelling g. Refining SIS
brought them down nearly 8 points
under the level at which block of So
100000 was offered publicly earlier in
the month. Paramount-Publix 5l2S
lost another point of the several that
1t gained Monday. International Tele-
phone 4l2s and 5s were both heavy.
There was a little better market for
Missouri Pacific issues, of which seven
are now quoted at an average income
return of 35 per cent, the 5l2s yielding
over 20 per cent.
German bonds were inclined to react
after a week of substantial advances
highest prices of the year. Belgian rs
each lost point and the same amount
OF decline occurred in Argentine 6S,
which are now selling at an average
under 40 United Kingdom 5l2s were
again quoted at 106.
The strength in United States Gov
ernment loans continued in spite Of the
fact that all of the premium bonds
have this week been at the highest of |
the year. The 31ss are still a point |
under their previous high and the IS |
~ points down from the top. The
fact that official recognition has now
been given to the subject of refunding |
the first and fourth Liberty 4As had |
no effect on their prices, in spite of the |
fact that the latter are at premium |
of 80. points. This must be charged |
off by the present buyer in the event +,
that the issue is retired late next year. |
