FINANCIAL
New Tork. Deo. 12. Sensational move
ments of money which Jumped from 8
to 16 par cent and ttten, back to in
minimum rate and the precarious condi
tions attending the International credit
situation effected another downward, re
vision of prices on the stock exchange today.
in the course or tn "reaaiustmenf
during which speculative issues, notably
motors, oils and steels, registered extreme
declines of 3 to 15 points, many margined
accounts were closed out. Indicating that
some of the soft spots created by last
months upheaval still remained.
To a considerable, extent today's liquida
tion was Impelled by the action of the
Federal Reserve bank, which late yester
day announced another advance of U of
1 per cent interest ann rediscount ratei.
Apart from this consideration, however,
the market had to reckon with further
foreign offerings, especially of high grade
rails, these again being attributed to tho
depreciation of exchange on London.
BritlHh demands bills fell to the low
level of $2.66 a fraction of a cent un
der yesterday's low, but other foreign re
mittances, especially francs and llres, sug
gested that action was being taken abroad
to chock the demoralizing decline.
The rally of the last half hour was
not wholly due to the relaxation of money
rates, the short Interest doubtless cover
ing some, of its contracts on the showing
made by the government crop report.
This was especially favorable as to cora
and winter whea', In which final esti
mates were much In excess of the five
year average.
Sales amounted to 1,376,000 shares.
' Bonds were heavy to weak, In compar
ing with the movement of th stock mar
ket, speculative rails adding from frac
tions to a point to their recent steady de
cline. Liberty and Victory Issues also
eased for the most part. Total sale( par
vale) aggregated $29,400,000.
Old United States bonds wer un

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
Chicago, Dec. 12. Anxiety td even up
trades so as- to avoid any surprise In the
government crop report rallied the corn
market today from bearish effects of dis
turbed financial conditions. The close,
however, was unsettled, ranging from o
pet decline to a like advance, January
$l.J5-to $1.35 and May $1.33 to $1.82.
Oats finished o off to a gain of a
shade. In provisions th outcome varied
from 5 cents loss to a rise ot 45c.
Corn underwent' at first a leclded eet
back chiefly a a result of sympathy with
Nsw Tork stock market wsakness. In
addition, the continued record-breaking
tumble ot foreign exchange rates tended
to Increase bearish sentiment, and ao
likewise did liberal recelpta of corn.
Selling, though, was overdone, snd In view
ot the fact that the government report
was to be Issued soon after the close of
trading operations here the majority of
dealers found themselves In competition as
buyers during 'the last hour.
Oats were governed by the fluctuatlona
of corn.
