BIBLE SOLD FOR. $4,000.
The Guttcnburg Bible, First Book
Printed from Movable Type.

New York, April 24.-The first
book ever printed from movable
type tonight brought the highest
price ever paid for any book. The
book was the Gutenberg Bible, the
purchaser Henry T.. Huntington, Of
Los Angeles, and the price $4,000.
The purchase was made at the
opening session tonight Of the sale
Of the library Of the late Robert Hoe,
the largest public auction sale Of
books ever attempted. Experts have
estimated the collection to be worth
more than a million dollars, and
wealthy amateurs and dealers from
Europe have come to vie with the
American collectors in the bidding.
1t was evident from the progress Of
the sale tonight that American bid
ders were taking the cream Of the
offerings at prices averaging higher
than any ever offered at a public
book auction.
The highest price previously paid
or the Gutenberg Bible was 500
600, at which Bernard Quaritch pur-
chased it in England fourteen a
ago. At a private sale he disposed
Of 1t shortly afterward to Mr.. Hoe at
a profit Of $4,000, and 1t has re-
manned In the Hoe collection ever
since. The copy was printed some
time between 1850 and 1455.
Pj1H{nu for th, l~.y
was spirited, with Bernard Quarith,
son Of the former owner, participant

600 mark. From there it Jumped by
thousands at a clip to $4,000. At
$4,000, p. A. B. Widener, Of Phila-
delphia, who had been the most de-
termined of the runners up, drop
