WEEKLY REVIEW IN
FINANCIAL WORLD
More Cheerful Sentiment in
Stocks Derived From
Three Main Sources

New York. January 1.-THE more cheer
full sentiment in the stock market this
week was derived from three main
sources, the broadening of investment de-
mand for securities, the broadening of in
vestment demand for securities. the sign
of recovery, at least temporarily, in
the steel trade. and belief that the gov
ernment's policy respecting antitrust leg
islation and enforcement of the Sherman
law would be less severe than had been
prophesized
While the strong flow of currency to-
ward New York proceeded. the Paris
demand for gold impaired the supply. Re-
Taxation at Paris was recognized as an
imperative requisite to Improvement of
the financial situation as a whole. New
Yorks gold shipment was a eontribu-
ton toward that end.
Much freer offerings of credit resources
in New York revived investment demand.

NINE. MELBA TO SING
HERE FEBRUARY 4
Famous Prima Donna Will Give Con-
cert at Jefferson Under Auspices
of Music Study Club

Nine. Melba, the great soprano prima
donna, known from one end of the world
to the other in musical circles, will come
to Birmingham In grand concert on
the evening of February at the jefferson
theatre under the auspices of the Music
Study club The seat reservation will
begin tomorrow at the store of the Cable
Piano company on Second avenue and
the expectations are that the great singer
will be greeted with not only a large
but most cultured audience.
Nine. Melba is accompanied by pianist
and flutist accompaniests and a concert
of rare excellence Is assured. When
Nine. Melba first went to Nine. Marchesi
IN Paris, that famous teacher was so
deeply impressed with the singers voice
that she could hardly contain herself.
Taking the young Australian woman's
hands in hers, she said: Mrs Armstrong,
are you serious?" yes" answered the
other. simply. "Then," said Nine.
Marches. 'if you will study with me one
year / will make something extraordi-
nary of you" 1t was just one year later
when Nine. Melba made her operatic
debut and had all B-ussels at her feet
1t was at matinee musicale given at
Nine. Marchesfs home, that the Aus
tralian soprano first sang under her name
of Melba--an appellation derived from her
native city, Melbourne. The name origin
ated with the teacher, who liked 1t par
ticularly because of its brevity and
euphony and the fact that it. could be
easily pronounced and spelled by persons
of all nationalities. Since then the hame
is probably better known throughout the
world than that of any singer of the day.
Ambrose Thomas heard Nine. Melba
at this musicale, and subsequently gave
her great assistance, while another ac-
quaintance who proved of value was that
of Maurice Strakosch, the famous inn
presario. 1T was Strakosch who first rec
ognized the gifts of Adelna Patti, and
his first hearing of Melba made an in
Simultaneous impression. He was enjoy
ing cigar in Nine. Marchesi's smoking
room adjoining the music room when the
strains of ''Caro Nome" rang out through
the studio. Putting aside his cigar, he
listened in silence to the end, and then
exclaimed to Marsehesi's husband: Il
want that singer! I don't know whether
she is short tall, pretty or plain. /
want her" Two other friends whom
Melba made at this critical time, were
Bounod and Leo Delibes.

including the Louisville and Nashville,
and Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas
Pacific. As for the Christmas
trees. they are as numerous among
the people of east Kentucky in this class
as they are in certain parts of this state,
including some of the back woods peo-
pie" of certain parts OF High Jackson"
and certain parts of De<alb and down
in some parts of Escambia and Butler
county.
I was born and reared in Alabama,
and it is now my home and 1 love every
one who lives within its borders, but [
worked about three years all put together
in east Kentucky and my work put me
out with just the class of people that
you speak of in your editorial. and l must
say that it gives a very bad description
of these east Kentucky people, | can
show you people in any of these sections
who are very wealthy, have good stock,
good farms and farm equipment
You make another very bad mistake
when you say that the girls of this part
OF Kentucky get old very quickly, and
that they have to work along with the
men. 1t was just day or two ago that
l was talking to few of my friends and
we were discussing girls who used paints
on their face and remarked that l had
never been in but one place where girls
did not have to use paint, but had the
prettiest, rosy cheeks that I ever saw
and these girls were the girls of old
eastern Kentucky, and there are many
more who will agree with me that this is
true to the letter. In fact taking them
all into consideration, Irthink the girls
and women of that section of Kentucky
are far more healthy and stout generally
than are the girls of Alabama. due. to
the fine climate and above ALL that fine
spring and well water that they have
all over that country.
Now when it comes to the turkey
trot," the tango" and slit skirts and
such as that you will find that unknown
among them, not because they don't know
of it, but because they do not approve
of 1t. They are Just the plain old coun-
try girls. Healthy, vigorous and indus
trious. full of the right kind of fun and
still find use for the old side saddle
and would be Mortified to see one of their
lot riding astride. The men of eastern
Kentucky are the type of men typical
to early day American settlers. II you
are gentleman. rest assured that you
will be treated as a gentleman. Get fresh
and see what you get. They are the type of
Americans that I believe every trua
American citizen admires. or course we
will find the uneducated class there Just
as we will In any other state of the
union, but l had thousand times rather
spend the rest of my life with this class
of people in east Kentucky than with
the same class in any other state that |
have ever visited. Yours very truly,

NEW TREATY WITH
FRANCE IS URGED
Shoninger Would Arrange
for u. S. Products to Get
Just Treatment

Paris, January 17.-Urgent need of a
new commercial treaty between the
United states and France, so that
American products may receive Just
treatment, was discussed by p. J..
Shoninger. president of the American
Chamber of Commerce. at the annual
meeting of that organization tonight.
The American ambassador. Myron T.
Herrick. Consul General Mason and
many Americans engaged In business
between the two countries were pres
ent
I'VE should use all our efforts for a
treaty which will permit the importa-
ton of American manufacturers into
France on even terms with such na-
tions as Great Britain and Germany"
said Mr.. Shoninger. while these coun-
tries enjoy a full minimum tariff, our
country is obliged to pay higher rates
on manufactured commodities. This re-
suits in the prohibition of many
American products, and is an injustice.
I'VE maintain that France should en-
tend to American commodities tho same
treatment enjoyed by other nations,
and we demand as right, as matter
of simple Justice, a new commercial
treaty which will accord to the United
States the most favored nation treat
ment. We ask no favors but contend
we should be placed on an equality
with other nations. A high French au-
thority recently pointed out that the
United States alone buys ten times as
much in France as some of the great
est European powers. Yet all European
countries, with the single exception of
Portugal, enjoy advantages in the
French tariff denied to us"
Consul General Mason gave statistics
of French exports to the United States,
showing the steady increase of the pre-
ceding years had been kept in 1919.
The total exports from France to the
United States amounted to $140, ,106,5 49,
an increase of sa,53S,3S4.
Alfred S. Heidelbach was elected
president of the chamber.

Eleven members of the body were

Other Races for State Offices

There have been few new develop
ments in respect to the other races for
state offices. The announcement of
State Senator Thomas A. Curry of
Clanton for lieutenant governor. in op-
position to State Senator Thomas T..
Kilby of Admission and the announce
ment Of Auditor C. Brooks Smith for
the office of treasurer are among the
principal developments in the races for
minor state offices.
1t Is generally agreed that Mr.. Kilby
is far in advance OF Mr.. Curry for
lieutenant governor and the nomina-
tton of the Annistonian is predicted
on all sides. Mr.. Kilby has conducted
an active and vigorous campaign in
behalf of his interests and his support
Is believed to be large enough to win
Tor him easily the office he seeks.
All of the candidates are display
Ing unusual activity. The aspirants for
the office of attorney general. secre-
tsry of state. auditor. commissioner of
agriculture and railraod commissioners
are all conducting strong campaigns,
ana they seem to be desirous Of win
nlng In the first primary.
Probably the most Interesting cam
palgn Tor a minor office is that for the
oIfice OF attorney general William L.
Martin. assistant attorney general; Col.
Gardner Green of st. Clair, George Peg
ram OF Marengo and d. H. Riddle of
Talladega are engaged in a hot con-
test for this office. All reports indi-
cate that Mr.. Martin is leading the field
easily.
