NEW YORK, January 1I.-Ine more
cheerful sentiment in the STOCK market
this week was derived from three main
sources the broadening Of Investment
demand for securities, the signs of a re-
covery, at least temporarily. in the steel
trade, and belief that the government
policy respecting antitrust Legislation
and enforcement OF the Sherman law
would be less severe than had been
prephesied.
While the strong flow Of currency
toward New York proceeded. the Paris
demand for gold impaired the supply.
Relaxation at Paris was recognized as
an imperative requisite to Improvement
of the financial situation as a whole. New
York's gold shipment was a contribution
toward that end.
Investment Demand Revived.
Much freer offerings of credit resources
in New York revived investment demand
giving promise of success In the great
future problem of funding the mass of
short-term notes coming due. The Mexi-
cln governments suspension OF payments
on the national debt and the South -Afri-
can strike disturbed Paris and London.
Large numbers of men wents back to
work in the steel trade. orders Increased
and heavy sales of pig iron were eject
ed. This was due largely. however, to
the fact that the holiday shutdown was
one of the most extensive known, which
resulted in an accumulation of orders.
Trade authorities held that, while i'm
provement was manifest, the movement
was not sufficiently pronounced to Justi-
Ty statements that d definite, sustained
revival in the steel and iron trade was
at hand. Railroad traffic officials were
more confident as to the outlook, especial
ly in view of assertions that a prompt
decision on the proposed advance in
freight rates was favored by the Prest-

In twenty years the changes in the

find we are far behind the others In
the number of schools and In the
average attendance.
But with all these schools we have
the honor OF possessing the old girls
school in the city. One OF the hidden
blessings of the persecution of our
missionaries at Oyo. in 1909, lay In
the fact that Mrs. G, G. Lumbley was
compelled to return to Abeokuta.
where she inaugurated a girls school
by gathering a few girls about her.
She worked for some time without
much announcement from the mis-
sion, but in 1910 her work was rec
ognized and 1900 granted for a school
house. This amount was not suf-
ficient and Mrs. Lumbley. DR.. Lock

up the deficit and We now have a good
native property in the school build

At the close OF the years work.
1913, the first prize function of the
girls school was held. Thirty-slx
girls had been In attendance during
the year. and the work done was such
a high grade that we felt bound to
allow friends in the city to inspect
the school and the work. Invita-
tons were printed and sent out, and

by the large audience. The Alake

their retinues, were present, and
many of the educated portion of the
population. The church was filed.
After the presentation of the prizes,
the two kings spoke highly Of the
work done by Mrs. Lumbley. and then
gave the girls q Christmas present
of $500.
The visitors were then invited to
an exhibition of the work in the
schoolroom. which included papers on
the ordinary class subjects. needle
work and laundry work. Tea. cake
and other refreshments were then
partaken of at the mission house. 1t
may interest our readers and sup
