MONEY MARKET IS EASIER

New York, December 24.-Today was holiday stock market in the reasonable dullness, which restricted the activities almost wholly to the closing up of con- tracts. The holiday spirit was manifest also in the cheerful and hopeful senti- ment prevailing, although It is not usual choice speculative characteristic of the speculative market to postpone ac- tions on such sentiment. The constraint on activity is partly due to the desire to await the year money settlement and dread that a furry in the call money mar ket may occur in the las week Of the year. Borrowing on call today carries over until Monday, and the evidence Of oyer-snpply of funds as the day pro- eressed helped the appreciation on this point and conduced to the stinening or stocks. Discounts also eased In foreign markets, indicating the passage or the money relation after the return of the year.
 Another sharp relapse in exchange rates uointed to the speculative nature of some of the recent strength in that market and the oversupply of exchange bills left on hand as a consequence. Individual stocks here and there continued to show marked strength but the subsequent course of stocks with such movements recently does not inspire confidence, Read ng being an example.

WHEAT MARKET |S
 SOMEWHAT WEAK Trading Drags During Most of
 the Session RECEIPTS ARE LARGER Unsettled Weather in the Corn Belt Is Cause of Advance in Price of Corn-oats Close Firm and
 Provisions Steady.
RECEIPTS ARE LARGER

Chicago, December 4.-Increased re- ceipts in the southwest today, with favor able conditions for the new sown crop in that section, tended to weaken the wheat market here today. The market, however, closed steady with prices kc lower to Lc higher. Corn and oats closed firm and provisions steady.
 Trading in the wheat pit was inclined to drag the greater part of the day. ow- ing to the pre-holiday inertia. Sentiment was bearish nearly all day. although some buoyaney was manifested on a few occa- sions owing to covering by shorts. There was almost nothing in the gossip of the day to encourage the bulls, while several factors inspired moderate selling.
 The chief influences that prompted sales, were easy cables increasing receipts, par ticuarly at St. Louis and Kansas City rain or snow during the last 24 hours throughout the southwest. slack demand for the cash grain and the weekly report of a St. Louis crop journal, which claimed that the fall-sown crop is in excellent condition. The bulk of trading was in the May delivery, and that option sold be- tween s110ta and $.11ssQ111a4. Closing figures on May were at $1-11ls.
 Unsettled weather in the corn belt and in the southwest territory was the basis of considerable strength in the corn mar ket. Shorts were the principal buyers throughout the entire session. The mar lzet closed firm with prices i4c to 1zc higher.
 Trading in oats was fairly active and firm all day. Strength of corn was the chief factor. Prices at the close were 1sc to 1zc higher.
 Provisions were strong at the start be- cause of lighter receipts of live hogs than had been estimated. Later in the day, however, an easier tone developed, owing to realizing sales. At the close, prices were unchanged to 5a71ac higher Leading futIlres rx pged follous.
