John C. Avery and His Continental Land
and Security Co. Assigns.
NEW YORK, July S0.-John C. Avery,
broker in investment securities, made an
assignment to-day to Louis c. Whitton, Civ
ing preference to Annie (. Avery, for
IS 900 for borrowed money. Mr.. Avery
opened an office in this city in June, 1889,
and claimed to be worth 100000. He had
been engaged for Is years previously in
money lending in the West, particularly at
Denver and Kansas City. He organized and
was President of the Denver Land and Sc
curity Company, which changed its name
March 10, 1890. to the Continental Land and
Security Company, with an office at lis
Broadway The canital stock was increased
at that time to $l,00O000. The management,
it is said, rested mainly on Mr.. Avery. A
year ago the company claimed assets of ST.
776,935 against liabilities of 81, l,4466J0, of
which 81 900 900 was capital stock
A dispatch from Newburyport, Mass. says
the stockholders in this city of the Conti-
mental Land and Security Company have
received notice of the company's assign
ment The offices of the company are at
Boston, New York and Denver. There are a
large number of stockholders in this city,
holding stock in the vicinity of 800, coo. The
stringency in the money market has made it
impossible to make sales to meet all the
obligations of the company, notwithstand-
ing the fact that in On ordinary market the
value of the property is largely in excess Of
the stock and liabilities.
