Ground Said to Have Been Purchased
 to Build 1t On.
 It is understood that the Village i'm. pavement association, Incorporated of West Haven, has purchased piece of property in the center of the bor- ough for the purpose of erecting a H. brary as soon as sufficient funds have been secured.
 The deed has not been filed and off, cers of the association are making the location of the property a secret, which they intend to divulge at the annual meeting on April 4.
 The association leaders have been looking at several valuable pieces of real estate in the borough of late, and have had their eyes upon the vacant lot opposite the postoff1ce, at the cor ner of Main street and Campbell ave- nue, and also across from the Town hall
 This would be without question the most desirable location for the new library. The land recently changed hands, being sold by MT. Clarence Thompson to A. F. Woods.
 Last summer the Village Improve ment association was incorporated and 1t was then stated that the purpose was to make 1t more convenient for them to purchase and maintain the projected library property. The annu- al meeting of the association and the election of officers comes April 4, as stated above, and at this time the se- cret operation of the officers will be divulged according to statements made to-day Much interest will be felt over the coming announcement.

The banks have gained steadily from the sub treasury for n week, and the inflow from the interior was thought to have been spread over the week. Where the cash went to was the question that everyone asked as soon as the figures of the bank return appeared on the tape.

 The action of the foreign markets Saturday were more closely scanned than ever before. Attention was cen tered largely on Berlin and Amster- dam. The decline of one-half point in British consols, with losses of 3 to 3 points in American stocks in London, was generally assumed to mean very disturbed condition there. The circula- tion of reports that there was a gen. eral rush for gold at moneyed centers in Europe: that Vienna was shipping gold to Berlin and London; that Lon- don was negotiating for more, while New York bankers were reported as trying to get gold from Japan, Aus tralla and South Africa-did much to disturb sentiment here.

Henry Clews says: Last weeks col- lapse on the stock exchange left the stock market in an unsettled and fev- erish condition. That disaster was partly the result of economic conditions and partly the result of a break in the huge speculative movements inaugural ed in the last quarter of 1908. It Is too early to calculate the effect upon gen eral business of the stock market de- cline. Our railroads are already start ing a policy of retrenchment which must react upon the iron trade and up on labor, Many of our rich men also who are accustomed to take the initia- tive will either through necessity or caution follow on the same lines. With a check to enterprise generally and a lessened demand for labor, it is inevit able that business will in time feel these movements. This is going to be a critical year If we have another good harvest serious reaction may be deferred, if the havest should not be satisfactory, then we much loog for further contraction in all departments of industry and finance. The latest re- ports concerning winter wheat are ex- ceedingly favorable.

J. s. Bache & Co. give the following opinion: The low level to which prices have fallen in our opinion discounts the very worst that can happen in the way of decreased earnings due to shrinkage of general commercial activity and to cancellation by the various large rail- road corporations of their contemplate ed improvements. The investment yield of the majority of our better class of stocks, even in some instances where there is a possibility of a decrease in the dividends declared, has reached point where in time they will be steadily absorbed by the investor. While the market will probably con- tinue nervous for some time to come, and perhaps in some instances where the ultimate outcome of the property is in question values may decline, our opinion is that conditions make for a general increase in values for the bet ter class of industrial and railway shares, even though little speculation is to be expected until the future of the money question is more definitely settled.
