Chicago.


Special TO the Globe.
CHICAGO, San. 5.-Money continues firm,
with good demand at sac per cent. on
call and 6@7 per cent. for time loans, but
bankers are meeting the wants of custom
ers at these rates. On the streets loans
are offered at 41<@5 on call and 597 for
time loans. The advance in posted rates
for sterling bills on London to S4.90< for
bankers sight and S4.S7 for sixty days'
bills induces predictions in New York that
gold will be exported in liberal volume.
But these are few, if any, substantial reas-
ons for such suggestions. AS the trade
balance last year was over S1l0. 600. 600 in
our favor, exclusive of large purchases of
American and other securities in Europe
within the past ninety days. these tIansac-
tons have swelled our credit balances on
the other side, and with certainty of cheap
money on this side. the chances for free
shipments of gold are not fiattering. New
York exchange sold at so cents premium
per $1,000. The offerings were moderate
and demand fair. Foreign exchange was
strong. Actual rates for bankers sight ster-
ling bills On London were S5.S9H. sixty
days do at 81. s61{ and sixty DAYS document
airy at 81. S416@S4.S4A Posted rates for
bankers bills were S4.901 for sight and
S4.S7 for sixty-day bills. The bank clear
ings were $40, 667, 600.

FINANCIAL.
New York:


Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The stock market
opened very strong. and indications during
the first half-hour pointed to a continuation
of the bull furore. The announcement
that Western roads were battling with the
first real blizzard of the year, and that
traffic was to a great extent suspended in
some portions of the West, caused a lull i'm
the demand to buy stocks, particularly the
Changers. st. Paul declined point. and
other roads in the Northwest sympathized
in the break. The advance in exchange to
S4.9O1z. gold exporting point, was
further depressing cause. In spite of the
bearish influences the market was steady,
many of the stocks exhibiting decided
strength. The high-priced securities were
again doomed, Burlington, Alton and
Illinois Central each recording sharp ad-
vance. The earnings of the Granger roads.
so far as reported to-day, were favorable.
Burlington showing a net increase for No
vember of S104, 900. Alton for the fourth
week of December increased SzS3. The
talk was that
GOULD AND GARRETT
had arranged compromise on telegraph
matters, and that Western Union was good
for 20 point rise. 1t was stated further
that the next dividend would likely be IL
percent, and certainly would not be less
than IA per cent. Toward the close the
entire market weakened on renewed talk of
expectation. Apparently the cliques were
doing very little, but the general disposition
seemed to be in favor of lower prices for the
time being. Lackawanna. after selling up
to 1913, declined to 121. A good deal of bull
talk was INDUCED in regarding Erie. but
the stock failed to respond to that sort of
bulling. A notable feature of the day was
a sharp advance of So points in Atchison
stock. which is traded in only on the Bos-
ton board. The feeling on this stock was
very bullish, points being out that it would
touch par in a short time. The general
market closed weak and lower than the
opening.
