They recognize in General Candy the true Christian
soldier and gentleman, and declare that during the
late war for the Union the General oil ways ready

MONEY EASIER.
The relaxation in money on Saturday was re-
garded on the street as hardly fair indication Of
the real situation Of the market, owing to the
usual disposition to lend more freely on that day
than ON others. Hence an early demand this
morning at as high 1872 in addition to per cent
was taken to De the beginning Of q reaction
toward stringency. Fortunately these anticipa-
lions were not doomed to realization for the sup
ply increased as the day advanced, and the rate
fell or to per cent gold, with exceptional trans
actions at plain per cent. Toward three O'Clock

q 1-32 fat Commercial paper was quoted 10 II
per cent discount for prime names, but transac-
items Of any extent were reported.
ADVANCE IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
The ease In money led to further and sharp
advance in foreign exchange, particularly in sight
sterling, which rose y per cent, from 1857 on
Saturday to 1925 this evening. The demand ran
upon sight sterling in connection with the cover
ing Of outstanding credits, while sixty-day bills
were to be had per cent lower, at 10ssS. The
sight rate Is little over par, and makes the
pound worth 81 S7A, against its standard or in
trtnsic value of 81 S61. The following shows the
revised rates:-Sterling, sixty days, commercial,
107x 1851; do, good to prime bankers, 1885,

GOLD wEAK-117z, 117ss.
The advance in foreign exchange did not pre-.
vent further decline of per cent in gold, viz,
from l17X to 1175I, the explanation lying in the
fact that, while foreign exchange was unnaturally
depressed by the stringency in money. gold was
artncialy high through speculative movement.
In the recent tendency of all the markets to get to
their proper level in the readjustment succeeding
the relaxation in money gold and foreign exchange
crossed each other, the former going down from
l1sH to 1177<, and sight sterling rising from 1903
to 1929. It seems almost paradoxcal that gold
should be weak at the same time that foreign ex.
change is strong, and
COUNTER MOVEMENT
OF the two markets. like the present. is only rarely
witnessed. At the same time the decline in gold
to-day appears inconsistent with the mercantile
demand for exchange. The explanation this time
lies in sales OF gold against exports OF government
bonds, which, with the frmness in exchange, were
allowed an outlet to London. The course OF the
market il shown in the following table,
