While the battle was raging, Gomez,

NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT.

Various Reasons for Business Depres-
sion-Incrsassd m of Failures.
New YORK. Jan. 13.-Bradstreets
says: General trade has not improved
~appreciably. Some wholesale houses
are sending out travellers while others
have not completed taking account Of
stock. Mild weather at Western points
has interfered with business in some
instances and the week continues to
present characteristics of a between-sea-
son period. The impression is general
that uncertainty as to financial action
by congress and disturbing political
conditions have an ~unfavorable influ-
ence on the prospect for new enter
prises. Mercantile collections East,
West and Northwest are complained of
but at the South the comparative ease
with which they are made forms a
conspicuous exception. First sdvices of
statesmen on the road are of moderate
demand for goods, improvement show
ing itself first in dry grods, shoes and
clothing.
There were 446 business failures in
the United States this week, all eXcep-
tionally heavy total. Last week the
aggregate was 4O3, in the week one
year ago it was 4O5, and in the CORE

panic, it was 4S4, while in the like

ready money with which to put the li- brary and it's surroundings in shape to show results of greater breadth and use fitness than anything so far obtained To return to consideration of the library. In order to utilize the rooms to best ad- vantage, the approach to the library should be through the main hall, leaving the room now used, simply as hallway, undisturbed, except that it might bemade use of as 8 reference room for scholars or others desiring to examine books of-refer- ence, which are not allowed to be taken from the library. To make the desired change, and the re-arrangements neces- sary to carry it to completion, would in- volve an outlay of about $250, to which should be added the cost of new book racks for surplus books, reference tables and chairs, two card catalogue cabinets and suitable covering for the "open work floor'' in library room, in all involving possible outlay of about $500. The It. brary would then be equipped for busi-
 
 make no demand upon the public, except ing as it was deemed advisable to make additions to the reading and reference matter, and the general current expense of maintaining the library. What is real ly needed is that the library building should have the changes just mentioned made at once, the equipment increased as stated, and then good generous fund es- tabltshed, the income to be used in en- larging and developing the library along the line of the plans of it's promoters and active supporters. Probably no one in stitutiOn in a community has so lasting a hold upon the minds of it's patrons, or such an abiding influence, as that of a well ordered and growing public library. Of the possibilities of utilizing the entire or greater part of the library building in broad educational way, we shall make mention at some future time. Plans are already under consideration by which, with 8 nominal outlay of money and some show of public spirit and interest, the second floor can be made source of in- terest and value as an educational center, inviting both old and young to it's enjoy ment and benefit. This much has already been accomplished, the library is housed in it's own home, it has taken on the char acter of an individual institution of the town, standing before the public by it. self From this time forward it. will, more than ever, be as a barometriaSA yin elfcator of the level of the intelligent, in , tellectual life of our people.
