eording to the audit, was to mark upon
the books in each dividend period an
appreciation in the value of stocks
owned by the company. As a result
OF this book appreciation, the Bank
ers' Trust Co, was able to borrow
large sums of money. II was largely
this borrowed money which was paid
out in dividends, according to the
audit.
The quarterly dividends of per
cent and the extra Christmas dividend
of per cent, paid almost every year,
caused the stock of the Bankers
Trust Co. to rapidly increase in value,
until at one time it was quoted at a
market value of S295. AS result of
an increase in the capital stock, the
market value of the stock had dropped
to $3.50 six weeks before the collapse
year ago. In those six weeks it
then dropped from $3.50 to $40, wiping
out the savings of many persons, men
and women, who had been led to
purchase it by the big dividends paid.
The audit also shows that the great
er part of the stocks, whose value
was appreciated on the books of the
company, were actually hypothecatec
with other banks for money to pay
| dividends,

lations of stocks bonds and earnings.
While no official information could
be obtained directly from the inspect
tors Office as to the progress OF the
investigation, owing to department
rule that inspectors must not discuss
matters under investigation until
after arrests are made, it Is known
that Inspector Price has a complete
audit of the books OF the Bankers
Trust Co., and that he has given thil
audit close study.
