THE LONDON STOCK AND SHAPE COMPANY

(LIMITED).

The first public sale of stock and shares by this
company took place yesterday afternoon, at the Baltic Sale
R 0001.9, South Sea Rouse, Threadneedle-sheet. The room
was well Sled, but the proportion of bidders was rather
smalL Mr. Joseph Aspinall, the manager of the company,
acted as auctioneer, and in commencing the prec.asliugs
took occasion to make a few observations. He thanked
the public for bating placed in the hands of the company
so large an amount of stocic, thus showing how touch
such a medium was needed, and emphatically de-
nied that this institution had been started .to oppose
Ike Stock Exchange, of which resp.!..ted body
it would, on the contrary, ho believed, prove a valuable
auxiliary. A great number of the lots which were com-
prised in the catalogue had been placed in the hands of the
company by members of the Stuck Exchange, and is was
therefore clear that they did not regard this as an oppo-
sition institution. At pre.ent these sales would only be
held every Tuesday, but arrangements were being made to
hold meetings four days a week for aides by auction and
purchases by t mption, which would enable the public to
obtain stook at the lowest possible prices. Some persons
had an idea that purchasers at these riles w oul4 be
ehargod with brokerage, but that was an entire mistake. The
company only charged brokerage to the parties who
placed stock in their hands for sale. The sale was then
proceeded with, but although there were 470 lots in the
catalogue but a very small number were disposed of. The
property put up for competition included English and
foreign stocks, ordinary and preference railway shares, de-
bentures, Lloyd's bonds, bank, insurauoe, finance, gas,
hotel, and miscellaneous shares. Thu only railway stock
that found a purchaser was a couple of lots of llereford
preference stock. Two small lots of shares in the Com-
mercial Coke aril Gas and the Loudon Jute Companies
were also sold ; sad there was quite a brisk competition
for shares in the Telegraph to India Company, the M.
shares (IL paid) in which went off at I roes varying from
7s. Cd. to Bs. Sd. per share. The only other sale was one
of 20 shares in the East London Watirworks Company.
