WALL STREET SAYS
EASIER MONEY IS
JUST ABOUT DUE
BANKERS FEEL MORE COMFORT
ABLE ON THE WAY COUNTRY
HAS STOOD THE STRAIN OF
PAST FEW MONTHS.

New York. Oct. S.---Although II is
not expected that while there Is any
considerable volume of emergency
currency and clearing house certi-
f1cates outstanding the domestic
money market will have any material
decline in rates. there have been un-
mistakable indications this week that
money was getting into more COM
Portable position. Probably this re-
fleets more comfortable feeling on
the part of bankers as n result OF the
way in which the strains and stresses
Of an unprecedented situation have
been endured without disastrous in
cidents.
1t Ia altogether likely that the de-
rangement Of the foreign exchange
market, the blockade of funds in
volved in the suspension of the regu-
lar security and cotton markets and
the contingencies of the war Itself
will prevent domestic credit rates
from falling much In the near future
but easier tendencies are evincing
themselves, and what Is of most con
sequence to borrowers the outlook Is
for a larger provision for accommo-
dation The contributing causes OF
sucyn betterment as money conditions
manifest need not be discussed at the
moment, but the facts are that bank
ers themselves are beginning to talk
Of money in terms of less stringent
control and inquiry today revealed
number OF reasons for asserting that
the money market is In the way OF
improvement.
Call loans on collateral security
have. 1t Ia said. been negotiated In
the last few days a trife lower than
6 per cent on ample assurances that
the loans could and could be paid
when called There has during Me
week been a freer absorption II com
mercial paper not only locally, but IN
other parts of the country and various
banking centers are reporting much
the same feeling about the outlook
for money as Is noticeable here.
A very interesting development Is
that relatively there Is a much better
business in time loans on stock ex-
change collateral Dealers reported
today that there was more lending on
time man on any day since the be-
ginning of the war. Loans were placed
at from to Ia per cent for maturi-
ties ranging from four to six months
and there was some renewal OF ninety
day loans at per cent.
The widening OF the market for
commercial paper seems also to have
brought some shading OF discounts
with 1t. and the optimistic aspects OF
the market for short time notes are
pronounced.

NO MIXED CONTESTS
FOR THE BR|T|SHERS
Johnson Has No Chance, There
fore, Of Meeting Gunboat
Smith In London Ring.

LONDON, July l-There is no
chance OF q fight between either Gun
boat Smith and Jack johnson or Gun
boat Smith and Sam Langford at any
time in the immediate future in the
British Isles.
The homo office has expressed the
opinion that fights between white men
and negroes are undesirable. because
upon the relations between the blacks
and whites In the overseas dominion OF
the empire.
So far as can be ascertained. the
government has no objection whatever
to a contest Of Drawn and brain In the
squared circles between boxers Of the
same hue. and hence there Is fair
likelihood that johnson and Langford
may at last be enticed inside the ropes
some day this summer In London.
In an interview in which he con-
ceded the failure Of his efforts to ar
range meeting between Gunboat
Smith and Langford. C. B. Cochrane.
regarded as the leading promoter of
boxing matches in England, says that
the British authorities are not at all
adverse to pugilism unless 1t involves
q mixture OF colors.
The King himself" Mr.. cochrane
remarked. has placed the royal seal
Of approval on the sport in the army
and navy. and certainly 1t would be
quite. unfair that boxing should be re-
stricted to that circle.
The present popularity Of boxing
Is due In a large measure to the
splendid encouragement it has received
from the National Sporting Club. but
I am quite sure that the officers of
that organization would not like to de-
