tlona Bis Faetor In

NEW TORK. Dec. 23 The tightening up
of the money market today gave unmis
takable warning to the speculstlve element
of the necessity of not borrowing funds.
The wsrnlng was heeded, but did not seem
to force any targe amount of stock for
selling by the operstors who bought last
week In anticipation of the good effect of
the bank statement, but who were disap
pointed with the paurlty of the outside
demand attracted Into the market today.
Attention centered almost exclusively on
the money market and It was concluded
that the large recuperation effected bv the
bank had not yet put them In a position
to discontinue the use of clearing housn
certlflcatea. . Their late process of restora
tion is now regarded as essential to dis
sipate the continued reluctance of the in
terior banks to take up normal hanking
relations again. There are unusually large,
requirements to be met In any event by
the New York banks In connection with
the annual aettlements. While the lsrger
profits indicated by the record total $184.-..
6.W.O0O in dividends and Interest payable in
January are matters for encouragement
and promise for a good relnveatment de
mand, the problem of financing the pav
menta presents its difficulties in the
straitened condition of the money market.
There are extraordinary requirements be
sides to be met on January 1. Including
$11,65.000 for subscriptions to new Northern
Paclflo stock, $9 147.000 for new New Haven
stock, and $9,000,000 for American Telephone
stock. It is known that msnv of the
notices of withdrawals have lately been
reaclnded andsome of the banks have lifted
the requirement In the meantime and per
mitted auch withdrawals as were sought.
Nevertheless It is probable that some de
gree of preparedness will be looked to with
the expiration of the period of the with
drawal notices.
The nsrrowfng of the supply of fund to
losn on call is thus seen to be smply ac
counted for and in fact occasioned no sur
prise. The closing of a bank In Atlanta
and notice of assistance to be rendered,
sfter Investigation by the clearing house,
to a bank In New Orleana, made a bad
Impression. There Is some anxiety over the
outlook by the decline In the revenues and
the early necessity for the use by the gov
ernment Of some of the funds dennnlteil.
with the national banks. A resort to checks
n n"Posus ny tne Treasury department,
which will throw the treasury operation
Into the clearing house transactions, is
hoped for. One feature of the tenacious
hold of Interior banks upon their resources
Is the continued scarcity of New York ex
change and the large number of checks
on Interior banks which are sent to New
York merchants and Jobbers. The money
stringency caused a downward plunge In
sterling exchange rate and more gold was
engaged In London for Import. The taking
of the dividend from the price of New
York Central was followed by special weak
ness, which seemed to Imply distrust of
the dividend rate. Representations of in
tended reductions In prices of steel prod
ucts after January 1, were depressing fac
tora. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $l.6,0u0. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
Number of sales and quotations on stocks
were as follows:

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were light, as
was to be expected Just before a holiday.
Shippers have learned by experience that
the holiday season Is a dangerous time to
overload the cattle market and that the
only aafe way to avoid an over-supply Is
to cut down the supply. The result of this
policy was moderate receipts and firm mar
kets at all points. -
There were a-few beef steers In sight
this morning and a few were wanted, but
the demand was not any too urgent, so that
there were no great advance in prices
even though receipts were so light. Steady
to a little stronger" would Just about cover
the general situation. Among the offerings
todav were some pretty good cattle. In fact,
better than have been acta here In several
days. '
Cows and heifers were free sellers at
prices strong to 10c higher than last week.
The light receipts changed hands quite
readily and In good season In the morning.
Only a few loads c stockurg and fueders
were on sakt and they were generally picked
up at steady prices.
It will be' well for shippers td all' bear
In mind that there will, be no market on
Christmas day. The yards, will be open
for the receipt of stock and anything arriv
ing will be cared for, but not offered for
sale. ,

HOGS Receipts of hogs this morning
were very light, even for a Monday, there
not bring enough In sight to make a mar
ket. Shippers possibly were afraid that
the market would bo more or less demoral
ized by the near approach of- a holiday.
It appeared, however, that with light runs
everywhere there was a better feeling and
aellera were able to secure an advance at
this point of loc over Saturday'a prices.
Thus the hogs which sold on Saturday at
$4. SIKH. 35 brought $4 .40434.45 today, and as
high aa $4.60 waa paid for right good hogs
aa against a top ot $4.40 on Saturday, it
waa not what might be called an active
market, some little time being taken up In
an attempt on the part of buyers and
sellers to get together on a trading basis.
When the trade was once started, however,
the hoga were soon disposed of, as the re
ceipts were so light.

SHEEP Receipts of sheep were very
light at this point this morning, while ar
rlvala were also very moderate elacwhrre.
There waa a little demand on the part of
packers and the few loads In sight changed
hands very readily at prlcea that Wer
fully 10o higher than last week, in some
raaes possibly 16c higher. Pretty decent
kind of lambs sold up to $6.76, with year
lings at $4 40, which sold at tha low point
last week at $4.25.
There being no market on Chriatmaa day,
bo one Is anticipating very large receipts
or a very interesting market this week.
'J ht-ra ta never very much business doing
during the holidays and there la no reason
for expecting an exception to th general
rule this week.
