Carnegie's gift of libraries is not
the boon that he supposed 1t would
be. In New York his gift of 100000
viii probably entail an expense to the
city Of over 100000. Grove City Penn
sylvanla, has brought suit against the
borough officials to set aside the ordi-
nance accepting $4,000 from Carnegie
for a library. The ground is that it will
take 1900 "A year to maintain the IL
taxed to the utmost limit OF the law,
and 1t will be impossible to pay the ST.
600 without neglecting the most urgent
expenses. All is not gold that glitters,
evidently.

Presumably the outbreak of small
pox on Kauai came through the mails.
At least that Is what may be deduced
from statements made by authority"
incidentally 1t may be remarked that
The Star did not criticize the Board
of Health for not doing something
which was out Of the power Of that
body but It did criticize a hopeless
effort on the part Of that body, which
could do very little good. because Of
the Boards inability to meet the ques-
ton fully. As was said yesterday and
can be reiterated today, 1t is no use
stuning a crack when the window is
wide open. The Board of Health is
very busy with the crack.

Murphy 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, May 1.-The Liverpool cot ton market came strong this morning, being to points higher, with spot sales of 4Ooo bales The opening here was also strong and higher, July contracts selling 8 points higher. Shorts In distant months were belittling the poor crop outlook. The absence of rain continues. After the open Ing rumors of rain in Mississippi and Arkansas caused a setback
 The Chronicles report for the week was as bullish as looked for. Dry wealth CT continues at most points Many dis tricts have had no rain for three weeks. There is general complaint of moisture and unsatisfactory stands of cotton in Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama. The total visible supply is 2,560oO0, against 2.495,000 last year, including PAST 900 Ameri- can cotton, against 2,037, 000 last year.
 Spot cotton at Liverpool advanced 3-32d today, the price being 47-16d. against 5ssd the same date last year, which many regarded as ridiculously low and unwar- ranted even by fine crop prospects.

 AFTER THE BATTLE Wall Street Votes on a Holl-

 Every Confidence.
A WEAK BANK STATEMENT I

New York, May 1.-The statement of the Associated Banks for the week end ing today shows:
 Loans. 1887. ZIG, 300; increased S,266, ,5o0.; deposits s977 900: increase s4.279. 300; cir culatton s31, ,oS1, 100; decrease s51 800; legal tenders $72, 800; increase $7s4, 200; specie sl79.7 TOO; decrease .s2.542, 900; reserve s252, ,500, 200; decrease 1,757, 800; reserve re- qured s244,s72,725; increase s1 1094,s2C; sur plus $S,l2f,47o; increase g. 2.S52,625.
 New York, May 1.-The Financier says:
 The Associated Banks of New York lost s2,S52,625 surplus reserve last week, bringing the present total excess down to sS,127, ,475. The loss in two weeks amounts to S6S2, 300. most of which went to the treasury. The increase In loans was 7,266,5O0 which, in view of the con- ditiohs prevailing since Monday does not seem to agree with what Is known to have occurred during that period. The enormous liquidation in loans which took place as a result of stock panic, com ing as it did at the latter end of the week, Is probably not reflected In the statement of averages, and 1t is fair to infer that the loan item and necessarily the total deposits are smaller than rep resented. This being true, the reserve requirements of the banks are lessened, and the condition of the institutions from @ cash standpoint is better than repre- sented in the statement. The weekly ex- hibit is better than represented in the statement The weekly exhibit cannot be regarded IS unfavorable of itself, but 1t is apparent that there is nothing in the situation to warrant expectation of anything but firmneSS in rates. The furry on the stock exchange certainly caused heavy shipments of currency to this center both by institutions and by operators whose accounts had been weakened It is also true that great deal of investment buying from outside sources has been going on. These inf1u- ences do not show in the current exhibit. The export of a small amount of gold during the week in the face of money rates far above the normal created some comment, but 1t is explained that this was on previous order. To what extent the international exchange situation has been affected over the last week cannot be stated accurately. but it will not be strange if some unexpected features ap- pear as a result for the causes already alluded to. The official statement of the city national banks made last week show that they have lost ten millions in cash since the previous call in February, while deposits have contracted about S11 300 900 and loans have remained al- most stationery. In other words their reserve is lower than at the beginning of February It is significant that of the losses in deposits the greater part can be traced to the withdrawals of interior institutions. Any maintenance of firm rates here, however, will attract funds to this center.

ket. Any impairment of the outlook to growing crop would quickly bring a good upturn and we would rather favor the buying side and chance usual weather drawbacks to lift values.
 About this time last year, or perhaps little later, trade in textile fabrics be- gan to lose it's bouyancy and after mid summer rapidly grew worse. A reversal this year if the trade conditions is not unlikely and if perchance any mishar overtakes the crop high prices another season would surely result.
 With depleted mill stocks the world over even with a full crop prices are not likely to reach the low level of two years ago. as the world will require in any event a fair sized crop.
