MR.. cARNEG1Es GENEROSITY,


Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropic
millionaire OF Pennsylvania, is doing
great things with his money. He has
recently turned his attention to the
subject OF public libraries. His latest
bene6cence noted in this way is prop
osition to give $40 900 for erecting a
public library building in Charlotte.
The conditions are that the city of
Charlotte come under obligations to
expend $500 annually for the main
tenance Of the institution.
This doubtless the people of Char
lotte will do, or be able to show Mr..
Carnegie that less amount will keep
mp tho library. At any ratey Charlotte
people viii not be apt to let the oppor-
funity slip.

The following special telegraphic let
ter from New York, yesterday, to
White G White, epitomizes the situa-
ton:
NEW YORK, February s.-The
market opened active and strong. but
there was no particular feature of i'm
portance. Commission houses had SELL
ing orders on advances, and the taders
largely supplied the bids on purchases.
The market as whole was largely
professional but the best support was
given when the bank statement was
published, which showed a larger in
crease in the loans than was generally
expected. The traders looked upon it
as poor statement, but they thought
that discretion was the better part Of
valor and covered their shorts, which
were put out in the morning. Good
support was given to the iron and steel
issues, but there were no special move
ments in any of them as operators were
disposed to await the official announce
ment regarding the pending deal before
making any commitments. The spe-
cialties ruled strong. We look for con-
tinued activity next week. The action
of the market to-day points to further
alvance..

THE STEEL SITUATION.

SpeCldt 10 the Register.
NEW YORK, February 9.-The Wall
Street Journal says:
''The steel situation continues to be
the most vital factor in the general
market, not that the steel stocks
showed sustained strength in the trad
ing, but because in the purchase OF the
Carnegie stock lies the possibility of a
combination which will put some, at
least, Of the iron and steel properties
on basis entirely different from that
occupied hitherto.
THE purchase of what is called the
Morgan interest of the Carnegie stock
creates new possibilities. 1t means
that the strength of the Carnegie Com
pany becomes an ally instead of an
enemy of the other principal compan-
les. 1t means that the ability of the
Carnegie Company to produce cheaply
reinforces the strength of the other
companies against competition which
may arise hereafter.
''The fundamental fact in the steel
situation will he that few large COM
panies will control the manufacture of
many products, carrying the work of
production from the mining of the ore
and the coal to the delivery of finished
goods to jobbers in all sections of the
country. BY controlling each step in
the manufacture, by owning the raw
materials, and by controlling transport
tation, these companies will Zoe able to
sell products at a price low enough to
make it very difficult for outsiders to
gain substantial foothold.
indications at present are that the
community of ownership principle will
prevail at least for a time. In the
opinion of counsel it will be very diff
ficult to devise law which will allow
a farmer to own more than one COW,
yet keep capitalist from owning more
than one MILL
eve do not think the situation calls
for indiscriminate buying of the steel
stocks. They have gone up a good
deal recently and taking of profits was
evident There will be further devel-
opments and perhaps light on the rel
alive position of different properties
showing which are likely to be espe-
cially benefited under new conditions.
What is clear is that the general sit
uation bearing on iron and steel stocks
has been greatly improved by the pur-
chase of the Carnegie stock"
