OPENING OF LoULIn
 COMPTON SEMINARY

l On Wednesday morning in the school auditorium the seminary cele- brated It's twenty-sixth annual open ing, the most brilliant in the history of the school.
 Long before the appointed hour the hall was crowded with friends and patrons. and with happy schoolgirls. old and new. Everybody was glad to see everybody else. Such chattering i an, greeting and handshaking! l Back and forth the l .erry voices called until at the stroke of 10 the faculty, 24 in number. made their dignified entrance upon the rostrum Miss Morton, principal of the semi nary, presided with more than ordi- nary ease and grace, and after few words of hearty welcome, announced the program and introduced the speakers.
 Following the doxology, sung by the entire audience, Dr. Dobyns of- fered an eloquent prayer of thanks l giving for the glorious past of the seminary and of petitions for con-
 tinued success in the years to come l pr. Broadly, who always brings a helpful message to the schoolgirls on this occasion, selected his lesson from his Scripture reading. He ap- lpealed to the students to appreciate tho present opportunity and to re-
 member their debt to those who had gone before.
 An interesting feature of the pro- gram was the address by MT. B. M
 Parks of Birmingham University
 school on the subject, "Why . Classi-
 cal Education7"
 MT. Parks spoke with earnestness and conviction of Latin as the foun- dation stone of your educational
 structure, He stressed its helpful
 ness in the mastery of all other sub jects. That the student felt the force or hfs argument was evidenced by
 their hearty applause.
 The second speaker of the morning was pr. Snavely of Birmingham- l Southern. who talked impressively on ''The Value of a College Education The speaker laid special emphasis on the preparation required in this day
 for women as citizens of the United States. With every avenue open to her. nothing less than a college edu- cation would fully equip her for her work. pr. Snavelys sentiments were warmly applauded.
 | The presentation by Miss Morton of the membe of the faculty, old and new, evidently pleased the au- diences, who greeted each teacher with cordial enthusiasm. l Miss Morton then explained clearly the different courses offered. for which diplomas would be given and reminded the students that the lead ing southern colleges for women were receiving seminary girls with out further examinations. Agnes Scott, Sophia Newcomb, Randolph Macon and University of Alabama were among the colleges named. After the visiting audience had de- parted classification of students went briskly forward. The enrolment is by far the largest in the history of the school and both day and board ing departments are taxed to their utmost Miss Morton, a woman with a vision, is already foreseeing the day when she must still further ex- pand the boarders of the seminary to admit the girls who are knocking at its doors.

Ir'regularity
Rules Stock
Price Trend
Lackawanna l. Steel Makes a
New High at 81; Position
of Coppers Improved;
Railroad Securities Sag

Fluctuations in the prices Of stocks
yesterday were less violent than dur
ing the preceding session, but no de-
| parture was recorded from tho general
rregularity of trend. From the
standpoint of news influences, an
nouncement of the basis for amalga-
! nation of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration and the Lackawanna Steel
Company must be accorded first rank,
but as the values the stocks will re-
ceive in the exchange were largely
confirmatory Of the Streets forecasts
they introduced no new inspiration for
speculative movements. All-day
meetings of executives and bankers
to discuss the projected merger of six
independent steel companies accent
uated the degree with which interest
remained centered on the steel stocks,
but the absence of any statement as to
progress deprived these conferences
largely of their bearing marketwise
An incident Of dealings in the steel
shares was the advance of Lackawanna
to a new top above 81, but this gain
was lost in the adjustment that fol-
lowed the merger announcement. The
tendency was also noted on the part
of United States Steel to pursue an
independent course from others in the
group. Net results in the industrial
division of stocks were shaped to
considerable measure by the improved
position of copper issues and by the re-
covery that set in before the finish un-
der the leadership Of studebaker.
Railroad stocks were not prominent in
fairly active market spd sagged be-
hind the rest of the list. Such decline
as the rails experienced was overcome
by the rise in other stocks and the
average price of fifty issues revealed
moderate appreciation.
The development Of trading was
largely dependent upon the caprices of
professional traders and pool opera
tors, and, in these circumstances, it
was perhaps surprising that the preva-
lence of easier me oney was not more of
factor. The rate on call loans did
not break "a per cent on the exchange
or per cent outside, but time money
was plentiful and cheaper than of late.
The maximum charge for loans up to
six months was Az per cent and per
cent was the rate on accommodations
for the short periods.
Money conditions found no greater
reflection in investment than In specu-
lative securities, an irregular move
ment obtaining.
The mmodity markets displayed
satisfactory strength, cotton rallying
we'll on favorable trade reports and
/ wheat rising under the influence of in
creased exports and higher quotations
abroad. Closing quotations in cotton,
achieved after an early reaction, repre-
sented gains of from g to 81 points
and wheat prices were up 2as to 31a
cents. The foreign exchanges were
relatively inactive and ranged within
extremely narrow limits. Guilders
drew up to new high for the year, but
the other European currencies finished
practically unchanged.

In Wall Street
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Deal

Contrary to expectations, the terms
Of the purchase Of Lackawanna by
Bethlehem were made public st noon,
or three hours before the close Of the
stock market. The prevalent belief
was that the announcement would be
withheld until after 3 o'clock. The
market action Of Lackawanna indicated
that the speculative community was
considerably puzzled over the price at
which the stock should sell. On the
basis Of the exchange of securities and
the closing prices Of all three classes
Of stocks involved Iackawanna had a
theoretical value Of 84,40 at the close,
compared with the actual last sale at
TIN The spread of over five points
was explained by Bethlehem's option
OF reducing the par mount OF preferred
stock and increasing the par amount
Of the Class common by Sl,543.ooo
upon payment Of approximately $500,
600 in cash. But even taking into con
sideration the option it was figured
that Lackawanna. based on Bethlehem
B's last sale, had greater valuation
than the closing quotation.
New-York tribune., 1922-05-17
The Streets Opinion

Wall Streets conclusion was that the
Lackawanna stockh olders got the best
Of the bargain in the deal with Beth..
lehem. Dividends on the amount OF
Bethlehem per cent preferred 3
common, exchangeable for Lackawann
shares, figured out at the equivalent OF
$3.50 a share, ompared with the cur
rent rate Of 50 on Bethlehem r. In
addition, it vas believed that the div
idend received by a holder Of forty
shares of Bethlehem 7 per cent pre-
ferred and sixty shares Of common, OK
changed for 100 shares Of Lackawanns,
will be moro secure than the Bethlehem
3 dividend. If the latter dividend is
omitted at any time it was pointed out
that the Lackawanns shareh olders will
still receive dividends on the Bethle-
hem preferred which would amount to
$3.50 q share on Lackawanna stock.

Tobacco Stocks Strong

Although up to the last hour Of
trading yesterday transactions in the
industrial group were confined to a
narrow trading area, the tobacco
shares moved forward throughout the
entire market session. United Retail
Stores, which advanced for a net gain
Of 315 points, was believed to have
been Influenced by the action Of the
Federal Trade Commission in refusing
to interfere with tobacco trade prices
and continued indications of favorable
trade developments. Tobacco Products
came within a fraction of the years
high when it sold at 707s, while the
General Cigar debentures made a new
high for the year at 10112.

Silver At New High

The New York quotation on foreign
silver yesterday went TO a new high
for the year Of 72A cents an ounce.
The days advance was predicated
largely on an adjustment to meet the
rise in sterling, as the London price
remained unchanged at 3sssd. Buying
by India is said by dealers to be a
chief factor in the upward movement
Of the metals price. This is in line
with the current shipment Of gold to
India, withdrawal Of an additional
$1,oo0,000 gold to be sent to that des-
tination being reported yesterday.

Strength in Guilders

Appreciation Of guilders, which has
lately been "a conspicuous feature of
the foreign exchange market, was en-
phasized yesterday by the attainment
of the peak level so far in 1922 at
1915 cents. The strength in this cur
rency is explained by the delayed
transfer of the proceeds of the Dutch
East Indies loan, which is now in
progress. These bonds have been sold
here since January / to the amount
of 100000, 900, and drafts are still
being made against the proceeds. The
operation involves the offering Of dol
lars for guilders. and tends to advance
the quotation Of the latter.

Federal Mining and Smelling

The action of directors of the Fed
yesterday in increasing the quarterly

on the preferred stock was a favorable
development which the Street appar-
emily had not expected, rs the stock in
spectacular climb to SIN had a net
advance Of ~ points at the close. OF
cials attributed the increase In the
dividend rate to recent advances IN the
price Of lead, Of which the company is
q large producer. 1t Is expected that
the building industry will consume
substantial quantities Of the metal
this summer. The company also pro-
duces zinc and silver, both Of which
have recently advanced in price.

New York City. July 27.--Three dele
gates arrived here Monday from the
Virgin Islands u. S. A., with the idea
OF laying before Congress a plea to
lift the ban on spirituous liquors
which has played havoc with the
commerce of at least two islands
since the United States government
took possession of the former Danish

Two OF the members, Messrs. George
Moorehead and Conrad Cornelro, were
appointed to lay the matter before
Congress by the Colonial Council Of
ST. Thomas. while the third member
Adolph Sixto, is supposed to have
been sent by reclamation Of quite
number Of the colonial citizens who
believe that Mr.. Sixto's wide exper-
ience and knowledge of matters poll

him in a position to be of great help
in their effort to obtain favorable
consideration from the members of
Congress.

days and left on Thursday for Wash

attention to the business In hand. and
will return here at the conclusion Of
their mission and spend a week or
two before returning to their island
homes.

these men of Color to petition Con-
gress will be cause for considerable
publicity on the white press. The at
