NEW YORK sTOCK AND BONDS.
Spectators Show sensitiveness in the
Call Money Market.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Speculative senti-
ment today showed greater sensitiveness TO
the developments in the call money mar
ket than was the case last week, when a
- per cent rate was practically ignored.
Today when money opened at 10 per cent,
with an advancing tendency, prices broke
sharply all around. The rate touched y
per cent in the morning and then relaxed,
followed by a rally in the stock market,
but when money rose again to 10 per cent
prices Of stocks promptly yielded.
The altered sentiment toward the money
market is believed to be due to the strict
attitude assumed by the banks and to call
ing of loans. The largest selling OF today
was attributed TO the pools which. were
CT edited with causing last weeks advance
in prices and which are believed to have
received renewed warning against eNpan-
sion of credits for speculative purposes at
present. There is a party in the market
which operates on the conviction that the
closeness of money IS all that prevents
party also entertains the conviction that
the turn of the year will witness a relaxa-
ton in the money market. owing to the
disbursement of funds accumulated to pay
dividends and interest. Even this party is
wary of a possible squeeze in money be-
fore the expected return to ease. and there
another speculative party that other con-
siderations than the supply of credits are
operating to hold back prices. The belief
that there will be a prompt relaxation in
money rates after the end of the year also
Is by no means universal. The small in
terror movement of cotton and corn points
to a holding back from the market which
promises a continued retention of funds
back from the reserve center. The foreign
exchange requirements will draw large
amounts of gold from our markets on any
relaxation in money rates. The demands
of labor on the Union Pacific system are
the cause of disquiet in the market. The
violence in Amalgamated Copper was sup
posed to be due to authoritative denials of
last weeks rumors of an agreement to
arbitrate by the contending copper inter
ests. In the early market there was some
effort to contest the decline, and a later
shown of strength by Sugar had some
sentimental effect in the general market,
but the reactionary tendency persisted and
Cvercame all resistance. A transfer Of
$4,000 to New Orleans today kept atten-
tion fixed upon that source of drainage of
New York reserves.
The bond market was irregular. Total
sales, par value. $2,O5O,OO0. United States
