AN ORDER FOR 100000 PLACED ABROAD BY
KUHN. LOEB & CO.-THE GENERAL
FEELING IN THE STREET

More gold from Europe decided relaxation in
the money market, Clearing House loan
tifcates asked for. and continued weakness in
sterling exchange were the noteworthy features in
Wall Street circles yesterday The for de-
mand sterling was 4.Ai4.
An order for 100000 gold was placed by Kuhn,
Loeb & CO., which brings the amount Of gold
ordered and in transit for this country up TO
S5.OO00Co. The steady importation of gold has done
much toward creating a good feeling in financial
circles.
The Loan Committee of the Clearing House was in
session again yesterday morning but received no
applications for loan certificates and although the
committee will sit daily it is believed that no GER
tifcates will be issued for days

Just a year ago. and was represented by those who

He owed a coal bill among other bills, and the coal
dealer persevered In the effort to get the money lie
sent his collector time after time TO the Office Of his

with extreme poteness and shown every considera-
ton, except a money consideration.
The genial person who owed the coal bill would

thoughtful affirmation and say that he believed the
