Bond Sale,

On Monday at l o'clock, pursuant to
advertisement, the County Commission
ers offered for sale $4,000 five per cent.
Belmont County court house and Jail
bonds, $4,000 of which are due and pay
able in 1899, and $4,000 in 1890. But
few local purchasers were in attendance,
and those desired but limited number
of the bonds. The banks of the county
were not represented, and, in fact, there
was no disposition among local bankers
and capitalists to invest largely in the
securities.
Banking houses from a distance were
represented as follows: Lamprecht,
Hayes & Co., Cleveland, by William II.
Lamprecht, one of the firm; Easton,
Nichols s. Co, New York, by William
A. Barnett. Dayton, Ohio; and S. A.
Kean & Co., Chicago, by VIM. c. Rider.
Commissioner Meehan offered the first
$4,000 of the bonds singly, and received
bids at par by private parties for $4,000,
hut on the remaining $4,000 there were
no bids.
On the next offer of $4,000 in blocks
of $1,000, 4th of l per cent. premium
was bid on $4,000, and on the remaining
$4,000 there were no bids.
On the remaining S25,OOO, payable in
1890, no bids were received.
On the second offer of $4,000, in lots
of S25.000 each, there were no bidders.
On the third offer of $4,000, an effort
was made by the foreign bidders to Sc
cure commission for negotiating the
sale of the bonds, and the bids starting
at AZ per cent. by the representative of
the New York bankers, reached a per
cent. commission bid by the Cleveland
and Chicago banks. Commissioner Nee
han announced that no bids would be
entertained at less than par. and that no
commission would be allowed. After
consultation among the bank representa-
tives. Mr.. Lamprecht agreed that the
bonds might be knocked off at par to the
Cleveland and Chicago banks jointly, and
after considerable parleying as to the
mode of payment and place of delivery
of bonds, the sale was finally agreed
upon to Lamprecht, Hayes & Co., Cleye-
land, and 5. A. Kean & Co., Chicago, the
county to be at no expense in their de
livery.
1t is understood that they will be de
livered through the First National bank
of Bellaire. The sale is considered a
good one by those in position to speak,
and the Commissioners are TO be con>
graduated on its successful negotiation.
