FINANcIAL.-There IS a slfhgt relaxation
OF the stringency of the money market.
Currency paid out in the purchase of pork
and other products of the country is tnd-

Gebts gives relief in many quarters. TIE
worst OF the pressure is ever for the pres
ent. 1t is not probable, however, that the
banks can afford much accom- n odation
for couple OF months yet. In the mean
time, business should net be shaped with
