controller SAID that the average rate OF
the small bidders was nothing more than
the rate offered by the Produce Exchange
co. for the entire issue.

BOGUS WEST VIRGINIA BONDS.
Between 100000 and 100000
Worth Are Floating About the Country.

Mr.. Charles w. Sheffield of Charles
ton. West Virginia, is in this city on a
peculiar errand. He is searching for
an issue Of bonds of the State Of West
Virginia amounting to from $4,000, OO0
TO s3,0OOOOo. This large issue is believed
to be out and in the hands of bankers
and brokers, some of whom have no
doubt purchased the lot in good faith
without knowing that it is bogus and
forged.
1t appears that the state of West
Virginia authorized an issue of bonds
in 1892 amounting to So 900, 900, and the
paper was bought and shipped from
the mill. For some reason the order
was countermanded and the state re-
fused to take this lot of bank bonds
when they We're ready for delivery.
According to the rules of the express
companies the bond paper was kept
reasonable time and then sold at auc-
ton with other unclaimed packages.
In this way it passed into the hands
of some unknown person and from him
to some other person or persons who
have been making a bad use of it bv
issuing bonds of tie state of West
Virginia which are good to look a but
are not worth the paper they are print
ed on to the unfortunate who happens
To hold them.
Mr.. Sheffield says that certain cou-
pons from these bonds have been sent
to the state treasurer for payment.
thus uncovering the whole matter. He
was sent out by the state to try and
trace the bonds throughout the north

where there is reason to believe tina:
many of them have found their way.
Mr.. Sheffield says that he has found
traces of several hundred thousand Of
them in Connecticut and in Western
Massachusetts and that ne has reason
to believe that some of them We're eX-
plotted in this State about three years
ago Mr.. Sheffield is about to start on
