Omaha Future Market. (
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.

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. Nevertheless price changos
kept within narrow nmtw.

Call Money's Rise Overshadow
ing and Disturbing Fea
ture of Market.
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. Stocks were strong during the forenoon,
with a . renewal of last week's Inquiry for
low-priced rails, as well as coppers and othor
metala. oils, sutram. tobaccos, the ienf-'rir
