morning train or in automobiles to
spend the day. The occasion was a.
very pleasant one for both classes and
much interest was manifested at the

harder work being done in both towns
to increase the size of the classes
About the first of the year the Wes-

would have the largest membership
by the end Of the year. The contest
was keen and close for awhile and
then the Sumter class began to grow
with leaps and bounds until now it is
competitor. Yesterday there were
about three hundred local member,
present and with the large number of
visitors made the class attendance
the largest which has yet been had
Mr.. Charlton DuRant of Manning
leader of the Manning class made the
address on the Sunday school lesson
and q fine talk it was. The class met
at 9.45, just after the train from Man.
ming arrived and at the close of the
lecture, the class formed in line and
proceeded to the tabernacle, where
they listened to the Bob Jones revival
services. The class formed at the
church and marched up Liberty street
to Washington, thence to Calhoun and
thence to the tabernacle, about three
hundred and fifty being in the long
line of Bible students.
The visitors from Manning were
dined in the homes Of the members of
the Sumter class members and again
in the afternoon they attended the
Bob Jones revival services, leaving on
the afternoon train and in automobiles
late In the day for their homes at
Manning. .ti,|
The occasion was something new
for Sumter and proved very pleasing
event. 1t is probable that the two
classes will in the near future arrange
some other plans for their mutual en-.
tsrtainment, which will encourage
present intorert and be the means of
creating more interest in the clugs

The Chamber OF Commerce has

This announcement serves to COM

itself in because every possible ef-

oversubscribed at 1888. Applicants
for more than two bonds received only
one-ffth of the amount asked for. A
similar successful issue led the way
for other corporate borrowing after
the panic of 1908, but then European
money markets we're open and only
S2O,000,000 was put out in this country.
London Discounts Lower.
Abroad business in securities was
light. London reported few transsc-
tons, the American section. which had
been most active, showing the effect Of
the reaction Of the week before. So
great is the artificial ease Of the Lon
don money market that discount rates
went under u per cent. The Bank OF
England reported loss of oyer
- 100000 in gold. but this included the
usual weekly 100000 earmsrked for
note redemption. The Bank Of France
reported over 4230,000,000 francs In
gold. against about 1900, 1000 900 at the
end of the year and 4.l4l 100000 when
the war broke out.
Here money rates continued easy, call
loans renewing at per cent, except on
Tuesday, when the rate was ia. Time
accommodation was offered as low as
~ per cent for the shorter maturities.
Surplus reserve was shown little
lower in the local Clearing House
statement a. the end Of the week, cor
porate financing having resulted In an
expansion Of s29.000.000 in loans, with
deposit liabilities increased. Reserve
in vaults and in the regional bank in
creased less than $1,000. 900, though
known movements Of currency from the
interior and distribution Of the gold
pool had indicated a much greater gain.
Foreign selling OF our securities was
continued, without reaching any alarm
ing total. Exchange rates. however.
were lower, demand sterling getting
down 20 A.S3is. Exchange on Hamburg
and Berlin showed no frmness as re-
suit of liquidation in our stock market
for German account. As IL Is under
stood that most Of this selling was
done through Holland, its effect was
probably apparent in some hrmness Of
rates in the Netherlands.

The Bronx Horse Owners Protective
Association, which claims the member
ship of many prominent horsemen of

18th st. and Third av., tomorrow
night. The association has started a
campaign against the methods Of some

lam A. Mallett, president OF the ssso-

preme Court. in Bronx County, against
the Commissioners Of the Sinking Fund
of this city to restrain them from pay
ing money to the Society for the Pre-
vention OF Cruelty to Animals and the
Humane Society Of New York.
Mr.. Mallett contends that II 10 un-
constitutional for these societies to re.
ceive fines from the city. He declared
that employees Of these societies make
many unjust arrests Of drivers on cru
city charges, and persuade them to
plead guilty, so that the societies will
receive the fines.

MONEY IN LONDON
PLENTIFUL AS EVER
Demand Grows Less Week by
Week Compared with
Amounts Available.
tBy Cabs 70 The hiouns. J

London, Feb. There was last week
a rise Of $4,000 900 in "other" deposits
in the Bank Of England. This was de-
spite the payment OF another call on
the war loan, but It must be taken IN
consideration that government dis
bursements caused fall Of s9,ooO,OOO
in government deposits.
Thus it is apparent that large part
OF the government disbursements re.
turned to the bank in the form OF
".other" deposits, and II the record OF
the last five months is examined the
evidence is that since the beginning
Of the year payments on the war loan
have caused a steady drain on the pub
lies resources.
This gives added interest to the cur
rent report of a forthcoming meeting
between the finance ministers OF Eng
land, France and Russia.
Outside of the governments pur-
poses the demand for money grows less
week by week in comparison with the
huge amounts available, and rates
steadily fall. Call money last week
was q and weekly money was per
cent, sixty days IA, three months
sis, four months is and six
