POSTAGE STAMP BIDDER"
FAILS TO LAND BONDS

A BRAHAM WHITE, the bold and
"A unique genius of Wall street, and
known as the original postage stamp
bidder" has come to grief at last In
his latest and most daring exploit in
high finance. White tried to carry off
the citys entire new $40,000,0O0 issue
OF bonds with draft on a $4,000 cor
poration.
White, in behalf of his bond house,
the Abraham White Bond company,
offered to take the entire 100000
of bonds at prices ranging from 10O.35
to 102.50. He deposited with his bid
a draft instead of a certified check.
The draft was for 100000 and was
drawn on the Greater New York Sc
curity company, corporation OF
which he is supposed to be the sole
active member, and which does not
figure In the directory of the building
where 1t is located. This concern is
capitalized at $4,000. 1t gave print
ed acceptance of the draft, which thus
bore semblance to certified check
for 100000.
The draft was presented for pay
ment through the Guardian Trust

r. HIS city Is becoming more and
more literary. and It's taste for lit
erature is steadily turning to the seri.
GUS books of science and history, to the
classics, and away from works OF cur
rent fiction. The evidence Of this
tendency is to be found in the returns
of the circulation department of the
New York public library. with its 40
odd branches scattered throughout
the city. Four years ago the number
of volumes given out by this depart
ment reached a total of 2,332,725; this
year the number will approximate g.
500, 900, an increase that Is unparal-
leled in the history of any library in
the world. During these four years II
branch libraries have been added to
the public library system, a fact which
explains in large measure the phe-
nomenal increase in the circulation OF
volumes in so short a space OF time.
Twenty years ago, before the forma-
ton of the New York public library
the number of volumes given cut by
the free circulating Libraries was con-
siderably under a million. To-day,
with branch Libraries in every part OF
the city, the popularity Of curi ent
