LARGE SUM LOANED
TO LUMBER COMPANY
English Syndicate Advance $2,
000,000 to Abiufrdon Concern
.For Improvements.
(Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
ABINGDON, VA„ Feb. *6.—A re
cent copy of "The Lumberman.” re
ceived in Abingdon this week, shows
slr.ty-two pages occupied by cuts of
the various mills, plants and forest
holdings^of the Whiting Lumber Co
with history of the Industry and its
founders and owners. In this connec
tion it is interesting to note that an
English syndicate is said to have
made the Whiting Lumber Co. an ad
vance of $2.-000,000 on the report of
Professor Sommervllle, of the depart
ment of forestry, Oxford University,
who just before Christmas came to
Abingdon, Inspected the Whiting
plants and the'timber lands on White
Top. He is said to have reported
92.000 acres of land, with one of the
finest growths of hardwood timber he j
had ever seen. This coming from the
highest English authority on the sub
ject is the reason for the loan, and
it ifc expected that developments will
bo begun in earnest very shortly.

Rumor of Government Prob*

NEW YORK. Feb. J.—A rumor
that the Department of Justice is like
ly to Investigate the United States
Steel Corporation was responsible for
to-day, with the result that the en
tire list crumed In sympathy and de
moralized conditions soon prevailed. .
4 The Harrlman issues weye almost
as weak as the steel, and. In fact, the
only really active shares that stood
up against the battering of the bear
element were the Reading, Pennsyl
vania. New York Central and the Hill
issues.
The sale of steel was remarkable.
Huge'biocks of it were thrown on the
market at any prices, with the re
sult that from an opening at SO 7-8
it.tell to 78 1-8 by 1 o’clock, and
Mocks of 10,000 share lots were be
ing freely offered.
The big pool which Is understood
to be behind the steel Issues did not
make any attempt to hold the market
up, and this was understood to »« .
according to an arrangement to let
things go until the' outsiders a.e
wiped out. The pool has tixed a min
imum figure, which the stock must
reach before support will be forth
coming. according to rumors in us
ually ^weig informed sources, and this
figure Is below ,the 70 mark, but Just :s *
how far below no one seems to know. *
The Smelters were also under presf
ure. They dropped to 8 b, 'n loss ot
3 5-8 points, under an avalanche, or
selling orders; Copper dropped" to
77 1-2; Union Pacific ta 188 3-8 and
Southern Pacific to 123 1-4. Through
out the day trading was on an un
usually large scale.
GERMANY ANXIOUS
TOR TARIFF AGREEMENT
BEK! IN, Feb. 3.—The prospect of
an ear'.y tariff agreement with the -
United States was greatly improved
to lay by the passage of the Bundes- .
rath or Federal Council of tariff bill
hastily dratted and aimed to plaqgte
the United States. The bill was then
tnu’jdu'ed in tite Reichstag, where •
its unopposed passage is expected.
There was little diecussion of the
Mil, th* sentiment being wholly in
fa'-or of arriving at an agreement with
tnt United States as quickly as pos
sible.
