The MONEY MARKET isdaily becoming some
what easier, and the finances of the country are
returning to the investments which they sought
before the panic. Many people who formerly
bought the stocks and bonds of railroads and
other companies are prejudiced against any in.
vestments which are under the control of cor
porations. To such parties the real estate loans
secured upon property well located, and which
would in case of a foreclosure, readily sell for
one-third or ne-half more han the amount
loaned and costs, commend themselves more
strongly than ever. b. h. Warner, real estate
broker, l29 9TH street, can furnish, at short no.
tice, employment for all inactive capital on
well secured loans, from one month to ten
