Electrical Effect Of ssthe Treasury
To the KesCue',-A Semi.PRnic And

NEW YORK, Feb. 2i.-The Post, In ifs flnan-
clal article to-day, says:-The effect Oh the
news that the Treasury had "come TO the res
cue" was electrical In the stock market. The
stock market opened In condition or semi
panic, and during the first hour and a half
prices fell TO per cent. The change on the
new noted was as sudden as can be Imagined,
and prices went back like rubber strap Whtcn
mad been stretched and suddenly released
The recovery ranged from 1 TO points, and
where there was something like I" bull panic
there was sudden change to a ''bear panic. +"
Railroad bonds In the first hour and a half

The stringency OF the local money market.
which was most severe before the news was
received Of treasury RELIEF, unsettled the for
eign exchange market and In the first hour and
half the leading drawers on London twice
reduced their postal rates, the latter reduction

TO 4sl has2. and 4s3 to 4sS5!; cables to 4s4a'4l,
OF this market Is improving as we write. The
depression was caused wholly by the money

OF bankers bills. Before the above news
came stock brokers were paying y
as per day for money In addition
too per cent per annum, and the stringency
was about as severe as it ever was in the worst
time. The rate has not yet fallen below =
plus per cent, and as noted whether the strfn-
gency will be relieved or not depends wholly
upon the amount OF called bonds which may be
presented for payment on the very fair term;
offered by the Secretary. What is called
the moral effect OF the Treasury inter.
yention has already been witnessed In
the speculative markets; the actual efftc.
depends on the reason stated. The with
orawals OF lawful money from bank reserves

market In mediate. The relief is not SO certain
but the Treasury appears to have done all that
II can and be consistent with its known policy,
which since Novembember has been to buy only

IRENE WORRELL'S DIVORCE.
An Interesting Legal Point.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb A.-An Interesting lega!
point was decided here yesterday. short
time since a suit was brought by Alphonse
riety, against Irene WorreIl. one OF the once
noted Worrell sisters, to recover professional
fee. In 1876, when Miss Worrell was Mrs Eddy,
she employed Goodrich TO obtain divorce for
her nayfnp him a small retainer. He procured
a Utah divorce, that being the character of his
practice, but never received further recon-
pense. The defense SET up to hts present suit
was that Utah divorce having been held Ia
the courts to be OF no effect, the services rem
deIed In procuring one were or no value, and
therefore Miss Worrell had received no benefit
from GoonIich's services for which he should
have compensation. The court sustained the
defense holding that the procuring Of an Invalid
divorce was no consideration.
