I ~
OF Baltimore, on a joint bid for sos, 1912
fat.
This amounts to 1910, 1900, or a pre-
MUM of $1O,776. OF course, this bid
being fiat, or with no interest, the State
will have to pay the four per cent cou-
pons next July, as the bonds have been
bearing interest since January according
to the terms of the offer
There were fifty-eight bids in ALL and
the contest was a sharp and spirited
one.
The envelopes were opened by State
Treasurer Lacy at II o'clock; but it was
about 3 35 before the decision was finally
made to accept the bid as abve.
The choice was narrowed down quite
soon to one between the final winner and
Messrs. n. w. Harris & Co., of New York,
who bid for the whole issue at SOL 1878
with interest; that is, foregoing the July
coupons. This firm was represented by
f. e. Gallons, and between him and
Fred. r. Boyce, Jr., who represented the
Baltimore concerns, there was quite a
lively argument in the outer office for
a few minutes. Lots of figuring was
done to see how much this interest would
amount to.
The New York firms representative
said he would be willing to divide with
the best of the smaller bidders. OF these
the bid Of Senator C. A. Webb for $ov,OJv
at $102. 05C with accrued interest, was per-
haps the highest
When the question was finally settled
by Treasurer Lacy, young Mr.. Boyce was
warmly congratulated by all his oppon-
cnts

fee yesterday, besides Messrs Boyce and
