NEW YORK, March THE Post financial arti-
Gle says: The week opened in Wall street with
money market is to be easy. This opinion is
rounded on the belief that the new Secretary OF
Treasury Will err rather On the side Of expan-
sion than the reverse. The report that Mr..
WINDOW received the support OF eX-Secretary
sherman for the position OF the chief of1icer
or the Treasury. is construed as an indIca-
not be widely different from what it
has been. AS the recent disturbance
IN the stock exchange markets was caused by
the money striDgency and the fear of its con-
tinuance, 1t is natural that when that is re-
moved there should be a change in the course
OF prices, when are dependent to large extent
stock exchange markets are strong. II. S.
bonds are unchanged in price. Railroad bonds
are 4 az per cent higher; stocks are ka3 per
cent higher than at the close OH Saturday.

Telegraph shares. The Trunk line stocks
and or those OF roads in the north and
although it. is we'll known that the severe
storms OF the winter have very much reduced
N fstir ates OF the earnings OF these roads.
