METEORIC STOCK ON CURB.
Gold Hin Consolidated SCARED and

II Is hard to say Just how the letters
appeared. but II man wanted one all

of the Gold Hill Consolidated Company,
30 Broad street. and a copy OF the let
ter, on the same paper. would be handed
to him: At least one ONCE boy applied
for and received copy of the letter.
Gold Hill Consolidated has had almost
AZ many ups and downs as Walter George
Newman, the company's president. The
company formerly was called the Gold
Hill Copper Company and although the
stock had some market on the curb IL was
never a strong success for the investor
Then about Ave years ago those In
charge of the company's affairs decided to
reorganize 1t. The name was changed to
Gold Hill Consolidated Company and the
old stock was recalled. Receipts were
given for the old stock on the basis OF a
receipt for fifty shares for a certificate
Of 100 shares.
Soon after the company had been
changed, and while the former stockhold-
ers were In possession OF their receipts,
the new stock began to appear. The COM
pany was capitalized at $4,000, 900. broken
into 100000 shares OF IS par.
A fine market was created for the new
stock on the curb. At first those who
sold II parted with 1t at about So a
share. but the demand was soon so great
apparently that they demanded more.
The price scared and scared until those
who were in a position to sell were get
ting 81 share for the stock.
But the stockholders In the old company
with their receipts were unable to take
advantage OF the fne prices offered They
didn't have the certificates to sell. and
they couldn't sell their receipts. Thou
sands OF shares OF stock changed hands
and then the market price changed IT

It was quoted at 10 cents a share,
When the price struck the bottom the
old stockholders got their nicely engraved
certificates In exchange for the receipts
that they held. This was last July. after
these receipts had been out for four years
The stock now sells occasionally for SO

$50, 00O, 900 In exports OF domestic prod

OF the first seven months operation of the

The advance sheets from the monthly
summary of commerce. issued by the De-

details OF the foreign commerce OF the

an accurate measurement and analysis

The figures when combined with the
operation of the law In the earlier months
show that the increase of foreign mer-
chandise entering for consumption in the
United States has really been much
greater than has been generally supposed
or indicated by the ordinary imports
statement. which shows an increase OF
only about $4,000, 900 in general imports
