Book Trade in War.

From the bookseller, Newsletter and stationer.
There are all sorts Of opinions as to
the effect of the war upon our BOOK
trade. One is that people Will reao the
NEWSPAPERS to such an extent as TO
have no time for books. Another fears
that the war will so absorb attention
that people will have no inclination TO
read books. Still another argues that
the Increased business cares Will leave
no leisure for reading.
We do not give much weight to
tether view. Not long ago some pub
fishers were certain that the book
trade would suffer from the automo-
bile craze, while others were sure that
the moving picture shows would de-
stroy it, but the automobiles and the
movies have continued to multiply.
and there Is still a demand for books
which seems to US quite normal.
Indeed, there are evidences that the
number of bccE leaders Is more rap
jdly increasing now than ever before.
1t is at least quite as true now as it
ever has been that deserving book
the right amount of publicity, and a
book that is undeservins or is not suf-
ficiently or effectively advertised will
proye a losing investment.
There is just one way In which II
NAV be directly affected by the war,
and that is in the price of paper 1t is
a curious fact, not yet entirely ex-
planned, that war brings immediat ely
an extra demand Tor paper Of all sorts.
In our civil war the prices of paper
SCARED until a very common manila
wrapper brought more than first-class
writing paper before the war. But
then the war was at our door; now,
thank heaven, it is on the other side
Of the Atlantic. and It will have com.
paratiyely little snHct on the e PRICE sen OF
product.
in price and 1t will undoubtedly go
still higher This. as we can readily
understand, Is because of the increased
demand of the newspapers. Undoubt-
edly the price Of books and papers
will also adyance-to what extent de-
ponds upon the capacity Of the mills
and some other things, but not upon
lour relations with Europe.

NEW YORK BANKERS
T0FUND CITY DEBT
Syndicate Agrees to Care for
$4,000, 900 Obligation, Re-
Iieving Reserve Board.

Assurances were given to the federal
reserve board today by ]. 2. Morgan,
Jacob Schiff and Benjamin Strong, New
York bankers, that a syndicate Of New
York banks will take care of the $50
100000 of obligations of the city of
New York held by European creditors
without requiring assistance from banks
i'll other parts of the United States.
This means that the board need raise
only about sto.GD0,000 outside of New
York to meet European obligations.
According to the New York bankers,
syndicate has been formed to under
write the SSn0Oo.O0O. but it's terms have
board has not definitely decided to
adopt the bankers plan for meeting
European obligations, but is still con-
sfdering its details.
In principle It will be accepted it WAS
said today, but the board may decline to
carry. out some details suggested in it
The proposal for Il pooling arrangement
to pay these obligations in gold WAS for
nuated by the committee of bankers. OF
which ]. 3. Forgan of Chicago is chair
man, appointed last Friday ut :: confer
cnce at the Treasury Department The
committees plan is now before the
fund contributed by national banks in re-
serve and central reserve cities of s15o,-
100000 of which 5000 900 would be
made Immediately available.
Awaits London Advices.
The board is supposed to be awaiting
advices from London as to the accept
ability of the proposition of bankers to
raise s1Jo.000, 600 for this purpose before
taking formal action.
Definite information is sought as to
the amount of gold in possession of ma
tiona1, state. savings and private banks
and trust companies in the United States.
fhe federal reserve board is making in
duiry- through clearing house associa-
tons as to this phase of the gold stu
alton.
If banks put up the s23.00OOOO figured
upon by the Forgan bankers committee
on first call. members of the federal re-
serve board are of opinion that there
Will be no necessity for further advances
to meet European obligations. With this
indication of willingness of American
bankers to meet their gold obligations.
European creditors, it is expected, will
realize that their purchases in the
United States within a few weeks will
favor.
Considering &C. Directors.
The federal reserve board has taken up
consideration of the thirty-six class &C.
directors of the twelve reserve banks,
whose appointment will mark virtually
the last important step before the actual
organization of the banks. More than
200 names are before the board, and the
final list of appointees is not expected be-
fore next week.
The board probably viii make no effort
TO hear the protests of cities against the
choice of reserve cities by the reserve
bank organization committee until the
twelve reserve banks have been organ
lied. Under the law the board is author
ICED to make changes in reserve cities
or dealign reserve districts at any time.
and a postponement of the hearings will
not affect the case of protestants.
