yesterday with the filing inventory and aD-
pralsal of the suspended institutions by the
temporary receivers with Justice Clark of the
supreme Court. at St George. Staten Island PrGc-
ucaiy all the velvet" securities are worthless.
Most of these securities appraised at present
prices as either worth nothing or OF nominal
value. The appraisers Were Maryn Scudder and
Charles NJ. Talbot

into possession of1he velvet securities is not told

money on securities of such doubtful value Il is
more likely that they were received as bonuses in

Interested with the late Charles T Barney. It's
former president. How the velvet" securities
escaped >entry the company's books is also
mystery.
In listing the velvet securities in the official IN
VentoTF no book value par value is given, but
only the appraisal rate and valuation The total
appraised valuation is s107 963. Prominent in the
list or the velvet securities nearly one hun
dred thousand shares OF the Alaska Gold Syndicate
Company and more than twentv-six thousand
shares of tie Gold Creek Nevada Mining Company.
The appraisers give the value of the syndicate
company stock nominal and that of the
mining shares nothing. Wall Street men have a
vivid recollection OF the meteoric records of these
two concerns. Nearly three thousand shares of
American Ice Securities Company stock also figure
in the list but here u an actual value Of nearly
$4,000 at current quotations

that the effort at state control is sure
to be nullitied in one way or another

act with effectiveness and wisdom; it

the business is done; for any attem,t

This means that we must RELY upon
