Ths Way Public Sales Were Former.

Candle auction was q well known
method Of procedure In England In the
early days Of the East India company
Public notices of such sales were first
put up at the royal exchange. When
the day came candle exactly an Inch
long was placed on the auctioneer's
desk. Directly the sale began the
candle was lighted. So long as 1t con.
tinued to burn bidding went on mer-
rily, but the instant the fame died
away the goods were knocked down to
the last bidder.
In this manner immense consign.
ments Of silks, indigo, spices and so
forth were disposed Of, thousands OF
pounds changing hands during the
burning OF the inch of candle.
Before the auction began a list was
read over Of the names OF persons not
permitted Ito bid at the candle" This
contained the names OF those who had
failed to pay their debts or had In ans
way wronged the company, who
"blacklisted" them In consequence
