The certificates which were sold
were issued originally in 1916 in the
name of the Guaranty Trust Company
of New York against bonds deposited
in the Volga-Karna Bank, Petrograd,
and the Banque de Commerce l'Azoff-
Don, Petrograd.
Bankers interested in the transac-
tion said yesterday they were not sure,
but believed that the bonds had not
been seized by the Soviet government
authorities, but we're still on deposit
in the Petrograd banks as security
for the receipts. The certificates were
sold here to people early in the war
who thought that Russian ruble secur-
tiles were a good speculation. With
the overthrow of the old regime in
Russia the market for all of these
securities disappeared, and the sale at
auction yesterday was the first trans
action in long time. 1t is believed
to establish new low record for
ruble bonds. The holders of the bonds
sold them in order to establish their
losses for tax purposes.
