Continued liberal movement of wheat In the United mates and weakness of the ljveipuol market were the Important Influences tendinis to depress prices of wheat here today. At the close the May option was off 'e. Corn was irregular, the May option declining V'l-V'. whllo covering by shorts cuused a net gain of 2c In the prlca of old Ie cember. Oats were unchanged a-nd pro vlaloiis were 2Vitl'"'; lower. Sentiment in the wheat pit was bearish for the entire day. Many of 4he big hold ers were discouraged by the day's statis tics und sold heavily during the earlier part of the day. This selling was later augmented by free offerings from commis sion houses and local trailers. A number of bulls gave, active support to the mar ket late In the dav and materially checked the decline. At the opening the market whs depressed by reports ol a declino at Liverpool and by the large Increase in stocks at Minneapolis. letter there came messages from the southwest reporting the crop outlook as excellent. A trade paper In Cincinnati declared that conditions aur rounding winter sown wheat have rarely. If ever, been equalled at this season of the year. Prlniarv receipts continued large, arrivals today being Mo.OflO bushels, against :i1,(iiO bushels for the corresponding day one a ear ago. The May option opened iSc to SftcV lower, at KfrtiSV and sold off to Wiic. A more lively demand ensued late In the dav. active bidding being made by shorts. Xnis with the demand from the bull side caused a rally in May to 87VC. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 2,UtiO bushels. Minneapolis. Duluth und Chicago reported receipts of . IS cars against t4 curs last week and 161 cars one year ago. A bulge of 2'ic per bushel In the price of old st vie December corn followed mod erate covering by shorts In that delivery. The volume of trading, however, was not large. Considerable anxiety was caused hiiiiiiii! those who had nut out short lines bv reports of wet weather throughout a large section of the corn licit. Weakness of wheal bad some effect on the May op tion, that delivery easing off a trifle late In the day. Old style December opened at 47Vc. sold between 47c and 50c, and closed with a net gain of V. 94c May opened unchanged to a shade higher, at 44V to 44i sold betwe-ti 4ltMt,e and 44V and closed at 441Wtlc- lcal re ceipts were 2o7 cars, with 64 cars of con tract grade. The feature of trading in oats was an advance of nearly 1c a bushel in he price of the December delivery. The upturn was due chletlv lo covering by local shorts. From S"c the price ot December was bid up to ItlUo. At that point liberal offer ings were" made by elevator Intervals and the price reacted to Sic. The close was sit-adv at 31Vc. The May option was easier earl v in th session in sympathy with the weakness of wheat, but became firm later in the day. May opened unchanged to a shade lower, at Slc to 32c, sold be tween Slc and 32SC and closed at dlTat'tic. Uical receipts were Ii9 cats.

CALL RATE ADVANCES TO 125 PER CENT Holders Pay This Prlca In Preference to Thtowlaa Shares t'poa Market Which Tner Think, la Boaad to Rise. NEW TORK. Dec. 2 . The organlisil speculation in control of the stock market showed the courage of its convictions today by buying stocks and put up prices In face of rates for call money at 100 per cent and above. ljrge amounts were loaned on the Stock exchange at 110 per cent and funds were placed outside the exchange at 12A per cent. So long as money could be had at these terms the rates were determined not to be prohibitive of the holding of stocks on margin, and they were paid rather than sell out stock holdings. They were paid also on the assumption tt-l the high rate may hold or even be exceeded on the remaining days of the week. The argument was heard amongst specu lative operators that this yearly rate of Interest was well worth paying for the day or two under the end of the year on the prospect that prices were likely to advance In larger proportion than the dally amount of Interest represented at this rate. It was asserted with eager enthusi asm also that these few remaining days of the stringent money would offer the only opportunity for securing stocks at the present level of prices. Such was the spirit that dominated an extraordinary slock market which Ignored money condi tions that have been the signal for a panicky unloading of securities In the past experience of the Stock exchange. There was something of a scramble to unload stocks during the early transactions In the market owing to an apprehension that It would be found impossible to borrow money on any terms. lrobably the liquida tion thus effected caused some relief In the money tension. Tho extraordinary Interest rates also had their effect In bringing offer ings into the market from many unex pected sources, some of them inslgnlrl V. 9. Realty I". S. Rubber do pfd lstf t 8.

Including small private deposit accounts, but making up a con siderable aggregate. Some banking funds were made available from outside sources. The strictly local character of the strin gency Is a remarkable feature of the epi sode. Money on call at nearby cities con tinues to rule at not over 6 per cent. While good demand exists for money tnrougn- 1 out the country, this contrast with rates : pld on the New Y'ork exchange offers an attraction to transmit funds to this center. Rumors continued verv nerslstent of con templated measures of relief for the money market by the secretary of the treasury, but the arrival of that official at Chicago confirmed the assertion that such meas ures of relief would be made dependent upon the finding of evidence of the need outside of the speculative centers. It was broadly Intimated, however, that the Treas ury department would adopt a tolerant attitude towards the reserve requirement of the banks during the existence of any crlsfs lr. the money market and It was the general supposition that the banks were availing themselves or this Implied per mission to encroach liberally upon their reserves. There was an urgent demand for time loans for the shorter periods as well as for call loans and the commissions demanded to secure slxtv and ninety-day funds made the Interest rate equivalent to 9 per cent. This condition In the time oan market opens a serious question as to the justification for the overwhelming confidence In the speculative circles of an Immediate relaxation in the money strin gency after the first of the year. The weekly statement or the Bank or England disclosed an almost unprecedented , weak condition of that Institution for the ' period of the vear, the proportion of re- I serve to liabilities having fallen to 33.81 Fer cent. There were neavy withdrawals rom the bank today for shipment to South America and the still further decline In the sterling exchange rate at Paris showed the continued pressure on London from that point also. The weekly return of the Bank of France was a poor one. There were constant rumors here of the forma tion of a bankers' pool to provide a fund for the money market such as was done In the crisis of 1902. It was alleged also that the banks had concerted an agree- 1 merit to keep the rate or staiiuinR- loans at fixed figure until next week. These ru mors were of effect on sentiment, but could not be confirmed. The late relapse In the money rate to 60 per cent was of no sig nificance, most demands having been satis- fled before that rate was touched, but the speculative confidence was maintained and the market closed active and strong. Anaconda Mining was a sensational fea ture and other copper and smelting stocks were conspicuous, but such stocks as 1 nlon Pacific and New York Central kept up the reputation of the standard railroad list In 1 the day's movement. !

This is about l.Otrt head larger than the run for the same day last week and is also larger than for the corresponding day one year ago by about 1.200 head. The receipts for the week so far total only 7,500 head, as against 16,717 head for the first four days of last week. Monday being a holiday, however, cut the run down considerably. As compared with the run for the first four days of the same week last year it Is larger by about 1,5'0 head. There was only a moderate supply of beef steers on the market and generally speak ing the quality of the offerings was rather common Trading was reasonably active and anything that was at all desirable found leady sale at prices that were fully Meady with yesterday. There were a few loads that sold at what looked to be strong, while on the other hand where the quality was quite common they sold a little easier. So 10 sum the whole thing up In a few words trading was fairly brisk with prices practically steady. The supply of cows and heifers was also rather limited and the quality generally was of the inferior kind. Trading was ratner uneven throughout the day.
