The tone In all the departments was de- cldedly more cheerful. Americans Americans fully responded to yester. days sharp advance In New York and therefore. the settlement Is being faced with comparative cheerfulness. In the general belief that the corner has been turned. and that although further small failures may be ex- pected no serious trouble need be an- ticipated. The action of Secretary of the TreasuryCortelyouin relieving themoney market at New York by depositng in the banks there customs receipts to the extent of S15.OOO.OOO has proved of international value. Business is still restricted, as atten- ton is mostly taken up with the con- clusiOn of the settlement. Americans opened good deal above parity and | advanced from the start. There was slight reaction at noon but it was only fractional.
