( The export demand was aomewhat Im proved today and thla fact, together with tronger Liverpool cable, forced an early rise In the market. This rise in May and July wheat was only temporary and while July wheat cloaed strong the May article dropped back to $1,08 4 and closed at $1.68. Corn advanced about 1 oent on the May article a a result of covering by shorts who had oversold on the laat break. December oatsswere very quiet, but there was a fairly active trade In the May article, which closed about 4c lower. Local range of option. Art I Open. I High. 1 Low.l Close. I at." CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Chicago, Dec. 4. Tightening up of Inter at rates on call loans led to a decided bfariah reaction in .wheat today. As a con- sequence the market closed nervous, at f range varylnit from ;14c decline to c ad' vance. with May at $1,724 to $1.72 and July at 11.41. Corn gained 4c, to c, oata lost 4'to c and provisions finished 7 4c off td a rise of 24c. High ratea'for money did not make them aeven felt in the wheat market until the Inst half hour of trading. Then, however, sonit-lhing of a stampede took place on the M"lling side, and there was a nearly com plete eclipse of bullish influence during the rest of the day. Lack of export demand w coupled with the unuettlement of the money market sa having much to do with l he Iftte depression in the value of wheat Previously a sharp falling off In the total Lnlted Slates visible, supply had led to bulge In prices, especially as estimates were current that the amount of wheat . In re serve on forms was lea than half the gregate a year ago. The temporary upturn had a heavy handlca'p In bearish conditions which gave the market a weak tone at the beginning. Absnco of any sign of Immediate relief from the scarcity of ocean vessels and from the congestion of railway facilities was among the lead in it factors at the outset in weakening the confidence of whftat holders. It Was pointed out that export of wheat of late from the United State and Canada were only about one-half aa large as during the corresponding period laat year. Km bargn moves at Washington counted also against the bulls. , Khorta who wished to even up trade In com round that offerings, 835, were usually light. The consequent bulge prices, however, waa not all held, rains In Argentina having a noticeable bearish ef fect. Oata were governed chiefly by the ac tion of wheat.

FLUEEY HELD TEMPORARY New Tork, Dec. 4. Call money' rise to 15 per cent, the highest rate In. more than three year, and exceeding by $ per cent the maximum quotation maintained during the first week of the war, was the over shadowing and disturbing feature of today's active market. The (lurry, which was regarded as tem porary tne nnai Quotations being 7 per ceni, was accepted as a sequel to the ateady impairment of local cash holdings. Since the first week of November actual reserve of clearing house banks have suffered a re duction from $124,000,000 to the $41,000,000 reported laat week. ( Much of this shrinkage results from the distribution of money to banks at other re serve center and heavy direct payment to the Interior for supplies, largely exports. In addition, much money la tied up In vari ous syndicate operations yet to be con cluded. Unless the usual signs fall, today's stringency Is likely to relax very soon by reason of further heavy gold Imports. An additional $30,000,000 of the metal Is ex pected during the week from Canada, and more than $30,000,000 soldrom Rumia. now coming from the Pacific coast, should find renecuon in next Saturday's bank state ment.
