The statue of Edwin Booth recently
unveiled in Gramercy Park has had a
history rather exceptional in the field
of public monuments. The members of
The Players, who erected it in memory
of the founder of their club, obtained
precisely the work of art they wanted
and the ideal site. Because of the ma
ture of that site they were immune
from the Intervention of the Municipal
Art Commission. BY all the rules that,
huzanly speaking, govern these mat
tiers, there ought to have been a hitch
somewhere. The placing of a statue
out of doors in almost any city is no
toriously an enterprise fraught with
vexation. But this monument, a pri
waite venture if ever there was one,
turns out to be in every detail a public
boon. 1t stands among trees, as an
heroic bronze should, upon pedestal
exactly fitted to it in style and in pro-
portions. And it is itself beautiful.
How often has New York been able to
congratulate itself upon the equally
succe ssful completion Of similar under
takings?
The beauty OF this sculpture hes in
the simplicity characterizing, both the
conception and the workmanship. Mr..
Quinn has visualized his theme in a
realistic spirit, producing thoroughly
sympathetic and persuasive portrait of
Booth, but he has essayed to interpret
not only the man, but the actor; to set

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Quiet conditions prevailed in the
local market for foreign exchanges last
week and changes in rates were narrow
as rule and without significance.
Neutral exchanges continued firm as a
rule and there was only a slight de-
cline in Spanish pesetas. despite the
general knowledge that steps are being
taken to correct the abnormal discount
on the American dollar in Spain.
Efforts to stabilize Italian exchange
are working out satisfactorily and the
rate on lire bills has been maintained
during the past week around $50 lire
to the dollar, which compares with a
recent low record of GIG The Federal
Reserve Board in its July bulletin saws :
"The Treasury Department has made an
arrangement with the Italian govern
ment under which certain transactions
in lire must be approved by the New
York representative of the Italian in
stitute and the division of foreign ex-
change of the Federal Reserve Board.
AS beginning, such transactions are
only to affect bills of exchange in
volving imports and exports between
the United States and Italy. These
represent funds which American bank
ers may wish to dispose of to the in
stitute. Exchange transactions for the
time being are to be handled through
the regular banking channels For the
present no further restrictions have
been placed upon trading in lire, and
