crease in the metal output of Nevada

innate for 1914, by V C. Heikes, of the

ielkes states that there was a marked
decrease in copper productions in Me-
Vada. especially during the last third of
the year, considerable falling off in
cad and zine, and smaller decreases In
gold ana silver
The output of gold represented about
~ per cent of the total value. In 1914
mere was decreaseJf per cent. from
ll,19o, 1870 to about $11 1920, 600. owing
partly to the lessened output of copper
ore and partly to a decrease in produce

The Sale Of Citizens Fire Insurance
cOmpanY'S Securities.

The sale at auction of the S1,300, 600
par value of the securities of the Gill
zens' Fire Insurance Company, which
was held Yesterday at the Real Estate
Exchange, realized S934,52S.25 for the
entire lot, as sold in separate blocks
When the separate offerings were
concluded the company reserved tine
right to offer the securities in an en-
tirety and to accept the bid which
yielded the most in actual cash. Al
the conclusion Of the offerings in sep
arate lots the aggregate CT the bids
made was ascertained and then the
officials of the company had Schwabl
Bros. & Co., the auctioneers to offer
them as whole. When this proDo-
sition was made there was no bid.
Mackubin, Goodrich & Co. and J. S.
Wilson, Jr., & Co., acting jointly. ma,
the proposition to take the entire lot
of securities at $4,000 and 10 divide
equally with the Citizens Fire Insur-
ance Company in all profits resulting
from the liquidation of the stocks ana
bonds in excess of per cent, which
they asked as commission. I he oili-
Gals OF the insurance company refus-
ed to consider this offer. The seDar-
ate bids were then confirmed and the
securities will 90 to those who made
the highest offers. A deposit OF 10
per cent. of the purchase price on
each group was made immediately
after the sale. The balance OF the
purchase money is to be paid into TIE
insurance company before noon today.
The sale attracted the largest crowd
OF investment bankers and individual
investors which has gathered in Bal
timore for a long time. Curiosity
brought many, but the others came to
bid, and for some OF the issues this
was quite spirited. In few cases, how.
ever, were the offers much in excess
OF the prevailing market price of the
securities. There were one or two ~.
instances in which the bids were hish-
er than the market quotation, but in
each OF these instances the buyer was
the Citizens Company, which has sue
ceeded the Citizens Fire Insurance
Company. This company's repgesen-
tative bought about 100000 worth Of
the securities, though it is thou-h
that the purchases Of F. w. Mish. o.
Hagerstown, the next largest purchIa-
er, was also made for the Citizens
Company, as Mr.. Mish is one of its a.
rectors. 1t is said, however, that som.
OF the purchases OF Mr.. MlSh were To-
his personal account.
The sale was regarded as one Of
the most successful Of its kind eve
held. The company had secured ex
perts to fix minimum price on every
issue and their representatives saw &c
II that this minimum was reached in
all cases.
This sale will mark the liquidation
Of the affairs of the Citizens Fire ii
surance Company and its passing to
the Citizens Company. Thee are
about 1000 shares of the stock OF the
first-named company whose owners
have not consented to 90 into the last
named. These will doubtless be paid
pro rata from the proceeds Of the sale
of the assets and so bring the old
company to a conclusion.--Ra Baltimore
