ports; but Conditions Show Improvement
Except in Retail Line

A slight Improvement over the middle
of December Is shown in the building
trades. At that time approximately
$4,000 Of the total of 125,00O were un-
employed. At the present time 1t is
estimated that 10000 are idle.
The committee found that there has
been a slight increase in employment
among workers included In the trans
portation group, with more longshore-
men. stevedores and dock workers en-
ployed because OF an increased tonnage
in imports.
Employment IN clerical and trade oc-
cupations shows a net decrease from De-
cember 15 to March 10, due largely to a
cut in the forces employed by retail
stores. Banks. insurance companies and
wholesale and commission houses show a
slight improvement since December.

NEW YORK, TUESDAY, FEB. 2s, 1872,
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY

The outright gift by the General Educa-
ton Board Of $500, 900 to New York Uni
versity, is both significant and unusual. 1t
is made, as President Buttrick of the Cen
eral Education Board states, in recognition
Of the value OF the university's part-time
and overtime instruction which enables
young working men and women to obtain a
college education. The gift is made without
condition, not for endowment or for build
ings, but for assisting the university to meet
its outstanding obligations. 1t has been for
the last three years living within its income,
but has found itself hampered by interest
charges. This generous contribution will
give release from this burden.
The action Of the General Education
Board was due to its conviction of the
great Importance to the community Of the
work that New York University is doing"
Thus highly competent board shows the
highest kind Of confidence in this institu-
ton by paying it's debts. A better certi-
fcate the university could not have It is
particularly gratifying that New York
University may now hope to realize It's larger
plans. Commissioner Graves emphasized,
in his address before the Superintendcnts in
Chicago yesterday, the particular need which
the New York University seeks to meet.

that he would show his father how
he could get his money back from
the bank and hoped, thereby, to con
