Chicago Tribune-Omaha He Leased Wire. New York, Dec. 2. Today's mar ket nave quite untiiisiableable evi iliiice of a retreat by large specula te rs fvr Tfte decline. On the stock c. change the clay's vbuniness began, like that of the day before, with de clines in a number of active shares, lint the weakness was only momen tary; on both days it was apparent ly part of an effort to establish a Uiwer level on which to begin "the covering of shorts" or. a substantial scale and a rapid recovery occurred throughout today's market during the later v hours. At the highest prices of the day, advances o.f, J to 0 per cent from earljer low prices were numerous, both in railway and industrial sl-ares. There was some considerable reaction in the final trading, but net advances of 1 to 3 points occurred in a large number of active stocks. 'Call money loan ed -at per cent all day, What happened or. ti e stock mar ket happened even mere emphfttical ly in the gram markets where wheat at one time sold IO.'jC per bushel above Wednesday's closing price, with advances of 3lc in corn and 3)ic in oals. Wheat Prices Higher. The day's high price for whoat of this cllne also embodied the laminar "realising tho low records of the season, the 11.62 pike, reached lst Krlda.-. Thora has been no reasonable . uuestlon In tbs minds of well-informed people, during at less the two past weeks, that tno uepression in wheat values had gone to a point where tho market bad absolutely lost touch with the actual supply and demand altua tlon of tho moment. The cotton market did not follow grain In tho day's recovery. Probably, however, we shall see a more or less similar movement In other over sold markets before very long. The excentlrn to todflv'e recovery ot the stock exchange was Southern Pacific, which declined 4 points and closed near the lowest. This response to tno announce, lin.nt of the much discussed plan for al lowing tho railway shareholders to particl. pate In the potential profits of the com pany's "oil lands," was partly because some people on Wall street had hope that shures in the ollxcorporatloff wofld be distributed without any cash payment '.for ilitm belli asked. Probably today's cllne also embodied, the famlllar "realizing nn tronji n.vi " for the stock closed loaay nearly 14 points above tho price at which It stood when the "segregation announce ment" was first discussed. But a further cause for the absenc of the wild enthusi asm which some people had pracUced w-aa that the actual prospect or me suoaenp tiun as a standing investment was can vassed calmly. This is one Illustration ot the charge in wall street s mood since last mi ni whsn there was always hysteri cal blddlng-up of tho BtoqK of a company which hnd presented Its shareholders with paper certificates of ownership In surplus starts, which they had actually owned beforehand. Money Rates Lower. oo.ooo in war loan Interest to pay on the first of the money, and It innrased its borrowings from the bang (or tnai purpose. 41,495.000 this past week. These government borrowings, having been dlS' nursed to tno oonanoiuars, reappear Chicago Grain was received for today's trade and buy era instated UDon small decline-, with the average market Quoted about, a dims lower. trices were very uneven' how ever, and hogs sold anywhere from steady to 10615c bpvrer.

The same thing happened at the beginning of last December, but with no permanent effect on the money market. Demands for credit at the year-end in creased the bank's total loan account by i27. OOO.OOfl K'tween this present date and December 81, and the reserve ratio de clined from 13 V ner cent to per S23 S 25 cent. That would aeem to mean a remark ably low percentage at the end of th nresent month. Tha French bank's state- 5 00 ment of today was remarkable In a very 5 9" different way. During the pasfweek its note circulation had been cut down 133. 000,000 francs, making a total -reduction of 1,078,000,000 francs since November 3. The government has been applying part of tho proceeds ot its new and very largo internal loan towards reducing Its bor rowings at the Bank of Prr-nce. and the bank In turn has called In equivalent amounts of paper currency. The trans action amounts to cancellation of that runvof hogs much flat money through Issue of an In terest bearing publlo loan. It Js the path which other European governments will have to pursue In working back to a specie basis.
