Chicago Dec. 30.-A microscopic COM
parison of yesterdays final figures for
May wheat with the initial price to-day
showed a loss, this option being at 6aA0
$3.50. This was laid at the door Of Lv
erpool, which was off Nd. The tone WAS
steady, however, as the weather was re-
ported very cold, and 25o,0O0 bushels of
Duluth wheat We're worked from here to
New York late yesterday. When an addi-
tional sale of 100000 bushels was an
nounced to-day shorts stopped smashing
hats and throwing grain long enough to
do a bit of covering, so as to leave the
old year with accounts evened up. May,
with this encouragement, reached 62t2c
and. though almost completely neglected
thereafter, managed to close steady at
693sM691sc, a shade better than yesterdays
final quotation.
The corn market was steady, May clos
ing shade up at 32s4 4m32sc.
In the oats market the tone throughout
was firm May closed 1sc up at 1884 @

Provisions were a little easier, the fac
tors being liberal receipts and indications
of continued liberailty next week, to-
gether with weaker prices at the yards.

FINANCIAL REVIEW,

New York Dec. 30.-The Financer
says The statement Of the New York
clearing mouse banks for the week ended
Dec. 80 shows a further gain of $7S4 600 in
the surplus reserve. the total now stand
ing at $11, ,16S,075. AS was the case dur
ing the previous week, all the gains by
the bank went to swell the reserve fund
The stateme"t is favorable and indicates
that an influx of funds from the interior
in the past six days was probably quite
as heavy as has been estimated. The loss
of gold to Europe by Saturdays steam
er does not count, but the exports of a
week ago figure to the full extent. This
outward flow therefore, has been almost
made up by receipts and the gain in legal
tenders represents the surplus shipment
from the interior.
The banks have maintained their posi-
tions as far cash is concerned, but they
have added little to their loanng capaci-
ity. If the experience of January last
year is a criterion, heavy receipts for the
next few weeks may be expected from
domestic centers, with the difference that,
whereas last winter the Ncw York banks
retained all the money that was for
warded, that they must now provide for
the demands that Europe is now making
for American geld. Still, the present ar
rangements with the treasury are such
that there will be no further drain of do
mestfc funds into government vaults on
operations that take money out of use
even more effectively than gold exports.
The continuance of the movement is i'm
portant in that it determines the extent
to which the banks can expand their
loans.
The same factors incident to the trans
fer of funds which mark the January
period in the United States are operative
abroad. Conservative bankers are fig
urins that the return flow of money from
various centers into the great foreign
banks will tend to make rates easier
abroad and affect exchange quotations
to the point of stopping exports of gold
from New York
II this be the case the banks here will
probably recuperate their resources or
at least they will be in a position to eX-
tend their commitments. As it is loans
are now almost stationary. while depos-
its are being reduced. No one looks,
however. for the burst of expansion that
marked the opening of the great rise in
speculative prices in January last.

lHe speculative QeDauch of the wear will
be seen to have cost security holders dear
since the relapse has generally broughy
prices below where they started the year,
There are stocks which have had the div
1dend rate increased and which have new
ertheless fallen back below the level
ruling before the speculative rise set in,
IN anticipation of the increase. Tt is the
realization of this fact and calculation
or the rate of returns on money invested
that have brought onto the market A
large element of investment buyers who
BUY stocks outright to hold. The large
absorption of the floating supply of
stocks thus accomplished the forced lioui-
dation of doubtful and unsafe accounts
and, in the Wall street phrase, the
squeezing of the water out of prices gives
basis for the confidence with which in
Nestment buying in prosecuted. Faith In

New York, Dec. 3O--The transactions of
the stock exchange to-day were more or
less interrupted by the holiday frolics of
the brokers on the floor, but there was
sufficient trading in the evening up of ac-
counts for the close of the year to make
quite an active market and some irreg-
ularities in prices.
The Baltimore & Ohio stocks, after
their upward leap of yesterday, were
conspicuously affected, the common fall
ing back nearly 21a and the preferred
over a point The most active of the
spccialties including Sugar the tobaccos
and the New York city traction stocks
We're also inclined to react, although the
undertone was strong and there was
disposition to hold stock for the expected
demand after the first of the year. The
expectation of this demand is based on
the sudden relapsed money rates at all
the leading financial centers, the London
discount rate falling below the bank rate
to-day, and the Berlin rate showing a
further decline. This gives ground for
hope that the export movement of gold
will be brought to a stop. 1t is possible
