loans were reported at Il shade under

contracts, it was noted, were secured

Loans Made Freely.

| considers proof Of increasing conf
dence, In stock exchange circles
| however, sentiment remains pessimis-

bership at $4,000, the lowest price in
| many years, measures the depth OF
the depression.
The foreign exchange market was
perfunctory, with rates on London
virtually unchanged from yesterday s
average. The days dullness was
ascribed to the fact that all immediate
requirements had been met by the
several steamers leaving this port or
