Before Judge Pratt
On the 9th inst an election took place for direc-
tors OF the Grand Street and Newtown Railroad.
MIR. Frederick Cocheu, stockholder alleges that he
offered to vote on 1926 shares in1his own name,
when his vote was challenged. He refused to take
the oath and then offered to vote proxies OF stock
made to him. he was again challenged and his
vote was rejected on the ground that the proxies
did not have the a1idavits required IN the case OF
money corporations. Henry Hamiltons vote was
rejected on the same ground, and altogether e,405
shares were ruled out.
Judge Pratt recently issued an order requiring the
directors elected to show cause why the election
should not be declared null and VOID and Q new
election neld. The order was made feturnable yes
terday, when the argument in the matter was post

MONEY FIVE TO SIX PER CENT.

The money market was easier, as usual on Satur-
day afternoons, when lenders generally desirous
OF securing the employment OF their balances over
the two days to Monday. All new business in stocks
at six per cent but exceptions occurred at both
seven and five per cent. On governments the lowest
rate was five per cent, the demand on these coate-
rails being more active, owing to the current wide
speculative movement in them, noted above.
Prime paper passes freely at la TX, but quotations
range from 61a per cent for the several grades
included IN the designation OF first class paper
Foreign exchange was duh after the steamers, but
rates were steady at the quotations last given.

must be considerable, as within the last ten
