 Easier Money.
 principal item in the brightenins prospect was the easier money market. The strain of the September 1st settle ments. which were unusually iarse' proved much less severe than was eX- pected The call money rate dld not get above four per cent at any tune anu promptly relaxed, while in the rates TOT the time loans there was something nke n collapse. This was considered as the widening effect of the relief measures or the United States treasury, the announces ment of which led to an almost imned- late relaxation In foreign money markets and In foreign exchange rates here.
 Interior exchanges on New York rose and the conviction spread that feeilng had grown overanxious about the m mediate money question. The balance or the reaction suggested that something akin to hoarding of capital had been go ing on in the process of holding out for possibly better terms In placing II.

 Tho annorncement of the failure of a stock exchange house on Thursday was the outcome of long enduring seres or rumors of trouble of this character ana led to covering of shorts rather than to renewed liquldation in the market. me same was true of the passing of the dl- vident on the lnterborough Metropolitan nreferred stock. This has long been an accepted certainty and the prices or secrlties of the company had areaoy fallen to level commensurate wiln the expected default On the other hand the increase and extra disbursement on the Chicago Burlington and Quincy dividend and the time at which the same was an nounced were very effcacious in stimulat- ing the recovery In stocks.
 Great interest continues to attach To the outcome of the coming sale of s4o.ooo'wo of New York city four and one-half per cent bonds On the degree Of success which attends that sale will hinge, It IS believed the confirmation of the revival of investment which has sprung up.

W. L. Gardner today came out victori-
Gus in an action which was filed against
them by Henry w. Gayler and wife to
set aside judgment rendered against
them by McOmie for Sl32 and costs.
Judge Morse, who had the case under
advisement for several days, today
handed down q decision finding the is-
sues in favor Of defendants.
Gayler alleged III his complaint that
the bill sued upon by Dr. Gardner was
contracted if at all by his married son
and not by himself or wife Further
than that it was alleged that the Muir
ray court had no jurisdiction in the
matter as the debt was contracted in
this city and not in Murray and the
parties to the action resided in this city.
It was asked that the judgment be set
aside, and the defendants restrained
from taking any further action in the
case or from further harassing plain
tiffs By issuing citations to show cause
why they should not pay the judgment.
