MONEY RATE IS
AT RECORD MARK
HIGHEST PRICE OF YEAR IS
QUOTED ON WALL STREET
DULLNEss IN STOCK TRADING
DUE TO THIS FACTOR
Commonly Assumed That Speculative
Campaign of Last Year Was
Largely Due to U. S.
steel
Associated Press1

NEW YORK, Dec 22.--The extreme dull
neqs into which stock trading fell today was
traoeable to the restraining influence OF the
tightness of the call money market The
professional trading element assumes this is
temporary and incident to the year-end re-
qulrements and to be succeeded, consequent
ly. by relaxation with the return or the
year.
The call loan rate touched the highest
of the year, and large amounts were placed
at the higher rates The largest Of the
Wall street banks was reported TO De OUT
of the call loan market.
1t is commonly assumed in stock market
circles that the great speculative campaign
OF the last year, while acquiesced in by al
tho most powerful capitalistic groups, mas
been most largely entered into by the group
eentering its interests in u. s. Steel
A rise In money rates at this time would
bo OF more direct benefit to this group, IN
such circumstances than would an exteh-
sion OF the upward movement OF prices OF
stocks. 1t is the conviction OF stock mar
ket observers that much Of the years ac-
eumulation Of stocks In pursuance OF the
speculative campaign remains undistributed.
There were occasional responses today TO
favorable dividend developments, the effect
being to add to the credence with when
rumors were regarded of other prospective
Increases.
Pennsylvania responded to the large dis
bursement to the stockholders Of It's TWO
subsidiary companies, the Pennsylvania ana
the Pittsburg, Cincinnati Chicago & st.
Louis. The belief In special distribution
TO Reading stockholders seemed to be
strengthened
There was another revival Of the copper
merger story and that group OF lndustrlals
showed the effect temporarily None Of the
days influences proved permanent in their
effect. the traders pursuing an opportunist
policy from hour to hour
In view OF the uncertain tone of the spe-
culation some attention was given to re-
ports that railroad officials we're admitting
some contraction in the volume OF affairs.
The dullness IN the pig iron market was the
occasion for remark The tone OF the mar
ket at the closing was heavy.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales. par
value s2.4S9, 900; government bonds were
unchanged on call.

special service to The Herald by ]. C. Will
son, member Chicago board of trade New
and Stock exchange, 2l2 West Fifth street,
Los Angeles,
CHICAGO. Dec. 22-Increasng 1eaviness
has been seen in wheat today. 1t started with
weak cables and has been emphasized py
prospective larger primary receipts on the
general belief that the strike OF railway
switchmen in the northwest is over, ana pc
cause of technical speculative conditions. II
develops that the floating supply OF wheat mas
been increasing considerably today ana thal
the undigested quantities put on sale several
days ago are being increased by recurring
desertions from the buying to the selling SIDE
Cash wheat Is easier southwest ana north
west, and the latter section has sold futures
here pretty steadily all the morning. The
edge seems off Of the market entirely. NO
short interest Is left worth the name, ana
heavy commitment on the long side throusn !,
miscellaneous channels Of both large and small
size which seems TO us must liquidate before
there is any good in wheat again.
Corn has ranged lower. but has been slower
to start and more stubbornly contested on the
way down. The wheat weakness was more
effective late in the day than earlier, new
buyers being more timid and short sellers
more courageous, Pressure has been consiu-
erable The government detailed report shows
that all except about 1000, 100000 of the corn
crop was raised in the seven surplus states,
or about 1 no. 900, 900 bushels out of a total
