was made in the leading officers. Other compan-
les are going TO pursue the same plan and prob
ably the railroad and wood and milling compan-
les will fall into line and acqu in tho rsduc-
ton When this is done 1t will be time to look for
better times in Comstock shares All this will re-
quire but few days longer to determine and If
silver advances few cents large force OF miners
will be put to work and Pine street will not have
such deserted appearance as At present.

They Are Not Good Investments.

A London paper observes in writing of
a recent sale in the English metropolis
that the day of old books as an invest
ment has been long time going, but it
may now be regarded as almost if not
quite gone. This fact is plainly indi-
Gated by the prices paid for books in the
Apponyi library. The first three days sale
showed an average of considerably under
when the system Park Library, formed
by Sir John Thorold and not differing
very greatly from the Apponyi collec-
ton, came under the hammer, the result
was the average of fourteen pounds per
volume.
comparison between the prices real
lied at the two sales tor identical books is
also somewhat startling, considering that
only such brief period has intervened.
The Aldini first edition of "Aristotle and
TheOphrastus" was at the earlier sale ap-
praised at e5l; the Apponyi copy went for
SIT. The first edition of st. Augustine's
treatise, DE Civitate DEL" printed in the
Monastery of Soubiaco, falls from G66 to
e25, and even the famous Ximenez Bib
liza Polyglotta," of which only very few
copies can ever come again into the open
market, shows a decline in value of about
200. In many instance books which eight
years ago sold for pounds now only real
iZe as many shillings. a few exceptions,
however, occur here and there Clearly
old books are not q safe investment, and
the man who wants to make money out
OF book collecting must put it into the
first editions of Dickens, Thackeray and
other modern writers.
