 One of the factors tending to relieve the tension in some quarters in the financial markets is.Ahe constant piling up of funds in New York Cheap money has been the order of the day here for some time past. The call money rate held at per cent Monday. with little demand. Brokers loans continue to shrink. In time accommodations money for 30 days was readily avail able at IA per cent.
 The continued satisfactory earnings of representative railroads. despite the lower gross, tends to keep alive the de- mand for stocks and bonds of the car riers. Monday Chesapeake & Ohio shares rushed up to new high on the rally. Reports of new progress in the proposed merger with Nickle Plate was responsible for the new demand ere ated
 Liberty loans featured the bond list in gains, though not in activity. How ever, several major transactions in our governments war loans were reported effected, in the outside market. Several of the French city issues made new highs. At the moment the general run of bonds rule firmer than the general stock list, though the former have been very dull at times, due to the inactive investment demand. New issues of bonds during the past few days have hardly been numerous enough to inter- fere with market for the listed issues. Plunkett Memorial orchestra.
