EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFORNIA.
San Bernardino Residents Startled by
Shock Last Night.

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, September 20.
An earthquake shock that brought resi-
dents of this city into the streets In alarm
and caused a general shake-up In the ar
engagements of many households was ex-
perienced here last evening.
The direction Of the shock was from
southeast to northwest and was preceded
by rumbling noise.
There seemed to be succession Of shocks
terminating with a snap that caused fear
and trembling among those here who suf-
fered In the San Francisco disaster. In the
mountains the shock was most severe,
causing great trees to sway as II whipped
by a mighty tempest. No serious damage
was reported in the valley.

MONEY IS EASIER
A RELAXING IN TIGHTNESS OF
THE MARKET.

The improvement noted in the tone Of the
market during the past few days still con
tinues, and helped at the meeting of the
stock exchange today to maintain the high
er levels that had been gained. and In some
instances to make slight advances.
1t Is remarked by close observers OF
financial conditions that there Is a more
hopeful feeling In regard to the future and
more confidence displayed. There is sub
stantial reason for this change in the men,
tai attitude Of those active in the market.
and 1t is found in part, at least, in the in
crease in the bank deposits In other words
the flow of money toward the banks has In
creased and the outgo. also. has fallen of.
There is more money to lend. and also q
disposition to lend which marks quite q
shifting from the situation Of only a short
time back. 1t Is believed the change noted
Is not only permanent. but progressive
one so that the prospect Is looked upon as
most encouraging.
In the case of the securities that usually
rank among the most active the recent
levels were held and some advances made.
The bid for the preferred stock of the
Washington Railway and Electric Company
went a point better than the bid of yes
terday without bringing out any of the
stock. In fact, no stock was offered for
less than 75 Yesterday the figures were II
bid and "A asked.
There was no change In Mitchell except
the disclosure that there was no more
stock for sale at yesterdays price after a
few lots had been marketed. The bid con-
tinued at ~. and one of the brokers said
he had 800 shares for sale at rs. The bid
for 1Oo-share lots and for larger blocks
did not go beyond IA
Official announcement was made through
letter from the company Of the election
of F. A 1. Cassidy as president in place Of
George Mitchell
There was quite good deal Of trading
done in gas stock. which was mainly due
to the chance to dispose OF some options
The latter brought " and IN. while the
stock went for 71A. with one lot a quarter
Of a point better.
Information has been received from
Col. M. NJ. Parker. now in Mexico, q
director Of the Greene Cananea Copper
Company, that at a recent meeting OF the
directors 1t was decided to reduce the
output of the company so per cent. By
retaining the best men in service 1t is
expected this production can be obtained
with reduction of 10 per cent of the
present working force.
The action of the Cananea company in
this respect Is in harmony with the other
large copper producers 1t is believed
by the leading producers such a course will
result in rise in price.

NEW YORK, September 2O-The more

tons in securities. but are directing their
attention and energies to the Strengthening
out of certain features in the financial sit
uation which have seriously disturbed the
securities market. They believe that slow
but steady progress Is being made along
these lines and that six months hence the
whole situation will appear very much bet
ter than 1t has in long time. The head Of
large investment house who has been ex-
tremely conservative for eighteen months
says that he feels more hopeful now than
at any time during that period. He be-
lieves that the money market Is gradually
but surely working better and that the
investment demand for securities early next
year will show considerable improvement.

has been at times an important factor in
the market speculatively, but who has OPP

the existing conflicting conditions he was

materially. and 1t Is extremely difficult for
him to understand how 1t can have a Sc

The continued strength OF Northern Pa
cifc Is attracting attention In important
speculative circles. 1t Is believed that the
strength of the stock must be due largely
to buying by well-Informed persons. rather
than to general buying in ordinary specu-
lative circles Men who are watching the
movement of the stock closely think that

convincing evidence of the position of the
important banking interests toward that

A prominent stock exchange broker in
