MONEY HARDER IN NEW YORK
Preparations for End-of- Year Dis
bursements Cause

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE indications
of further loss in cash to the interior
by the banks. together with the usual
preparations for the very heavy end-of-
the-year interest and dividend disburse-
ments. accounted for hardening in time
money subsequent to the opening ease.
AS against trading figure of 212 per
cent. for 60 days yesterday, the asking
figure was raised Il per cent. to pa per
cent. and business was done for 80 days
at pa per cent. against that rate asked
and 2Ia per cent bid recently. Both bid
and asked rates were raised 4 on four
months loans TO 2&d3 per cent. Long
time money-that Is for five and six
months-was unaltered at 2&G3 per cent.
The only even partial reflection of the
year-end financial forecast is found in the
market for prime mercantile paper. The
finest class of paper is extremely scarce,
and but for that fact the minimum on 1t
would be above the present per cent.
ruling AS has been stated throughout
the week, rates have risen u per cent.
ali around and for the first time this
year a number of institutions in this city
and at other financial centres are assum-
ing to dictate the discount figure on other
than extra choice names. So far there
has not been any report of the expected
appearance in this market Of offerings of
grain paper.

WHEAT WAS WEAK;

Prices Moved Irregularly
Throughout Day-Morgan In
terests Have Been Absorbing

CHICAGO, Dec. 17-wheat turned weak
today under fairly heavy selling. A re-
port on the winter crop by the Govern
ment was looked upon as bearish. Prior
to the issuance of the figures the market
moved irregularly. II opened higher on
firm\ Liverpool cables. unsettled weather
and strength in the West. on the adj
vance there was realizing and n partial
setback occurred. Later 1t rallied again
because of a ready absorption of offer

s1.1S7k at the end yesterday and July at
S1105s, against S1.1lls at the close yes
terday!
The Ntoders Mlller's report was bullish,
showing that the stand of winter wheat
lacks vigor in many sections. Bad re-
ports are being received, particularly
from southern and central Illinois and
districts In Missouri.
There were reports that Morgan inter-
ests had been absorbing December, May
and July for a week. The Bartlet-Fra-

Favorable Earnings From Coal Lands the cor..
Youngstown Tube Co. Expanding Merge witI
Republic Steel-1917 War Orders

The chief, and in fact the only feature
of an otherwise dull local market session
was another upward squirt in Buffalo and
Susquehanna shares today. Both COM
mon and preferred made new high
records, the former jumping nearly six
points. The rise was due il was said,
to growing appreciation of the expanding
earnings due TO the lucrative prices being
received for the companys coal.
A significant item of news which
cropped out this morning was the an
nouncement that the Youngstown Sheet
and Tube Company was planning to build
n new 500-ton blast furnace, at cost of
TOOO,0OO. This will increase the com
pany's pig iron capacity to 5000 tons daily
and is-thought TO be in connection with the
proposed expansion into the big indie
pendent steel company merger. It was
pointed out by well-informed interests
today that If the Cambria deal goes
through 1t would be much more consistent
TO include the Republic Iron and Steel
company In the combination than the

FORMER Is also located In Youngstown
