NEW TORK, Dec. 30 The close of the year was marked by characteristic devel opments tn financial markets tay. Prep arations for the unprecedented disburse ments of interest and dividend paymenis in January went forward more acriviy today and the restriction f money supplies wrnrh resulted In the stock market kept operations there under restraint. Tlie 7 per cent rate tourhed for call 1. ar.s marked a new high rale for the present year, com paring wnh the H per cent maximum on seven.; former occasions. Last December, i when hut 4l per cent was reached for call loans, the country was Just emerging from un period of industrial und iinanriai j depression and demand for commercial I cr-dits was at a minimum. Not r.nly is the present condition one of comparative ease, but a stipiosl;lon ;s fos tered that marked relaxation to occur j after the turn of the year. The cour of discount rates in foreign monev rcir Kets and the weakness of the foreign ua cnange market, as well as the easy tone of Ui time money market, give c lor io this aurposl.it Ion. lis cer-ainty Is not al together conceded by bankers, who point to the heavy requirements for corporation financing which nave to be met witn tha new year.
