Selling
UNDERLYlN Blu YIN 6

New York. Dec 29.-The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says;
The stock market had too much to
contend with in the way of unfavor-
able money rates to make any further
improvement today. The trading eIe-
mcnt was prepared to see Il scarcity of
accommodation for stock market pur-
poses, due to the customary scasonal
demands on the banks. but with the call
loan renewal rate fixed at j. per cent
followed by jump in the rate to ~
per cent in the early afternoon. stock
prices could hardly do otherwise than
rccede. The credit situation was the
dominant influence on the market and
very little attention was paid to any
thing else but this.
Trading Oh the Stock Exchange did
not start until a half hour later than
the regular opening time. due to the
breakdown on the local transportation
lines, which delayed the arrival of many
brokers. For the first hour or so Sc
Curity prices held close to Saturday =
final level. and in some cases, notably
in the rubber. motor and copper shares,
quotations were bid up | to points.
AS soon eS money rates We're available,
and it was seen that the renewal figure
was the highest since early in Novem
Der. operations Tor the advance We're
abandoned and leisurely selling started
prices on the down grade. by midday
the whole list had become quite weak
with industrials and rails showing net
declines of | to 3 points or more.
The weekly Federal Reserve Bank
statement was anything but satisfaC-
tory, showing the reserve ratio at "A
new low figure, This indicated in ad-
vance that the stock market could not
look for any relief for the time being
from the stringent money supply which
has been hamperirg it for weeks and
promises to do so until after the turn
of the year. 1t is a question if even
then there will be an abundance of
funds for speculative purposes, although
Wall street is disposed to take Il hope
full view.

CORN TRADERS SELL

Offerings Are Quickly Taken by
influential Concerns and
Prices Recover

Chicago. Dee. 20. -- Pronounced
strength was shown in the corn market
today on active buying induced by the
marking up of prices for Canadian
wheat and -four by the Dominion wheat
board, following a weaker start.
Commission houses had scattered sell
ing orders at the outset, but the offer
ings We're taken quickly by influential
concerns and prices shot up.
A big jump in rates for call money
caused some selling of long stuff by the
pit crowd but reactions were not i'm
portant. Shorts in December were
anxious buyers. Advices from the
country did not suggest that farmers
had become alarmed over the recent set
back in futures.
No great. improvement was reported
in the car situation, although receipts
picked up u little. There was some
suggestions Of an inquiry for corn for
export. The cash article was stronger.
Oats also scored good gains after an
irregular start. There was scattered
local selling in the initial trading. but
good sales for export and the strength
of corn soon sert the market up. The
stiffness Of ratesSf for call money led to
some pressure later. at
Commission houses were well sup
piled with buying orders and shorts
were compelled TO cover.
Leading futures ranged as follows;

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

New York. Dec. 29.-Weakness in
the foreign exchange market, III the
early dealings today, was in line with
the predictions of leading international
Bankers, who claimed that a part OF
the recent rally in the market merely

shorts.

Ample reasons and answers for the
banks keeping the purse strings tight

bank statement. Most of the local in
stitutions evidently have been calling on

extending their borrowings at the Fed
eral Reserve Bank. which procedure
would apparently largely account, for
the further expansion of loans and dis
counts of 81 .S91 900 as shown in the
weekly Philadelphia Clearing House
statement. The reserve position is not
so good as in the preceding week, the
excess reserve being cut down S1 ,O2p,-

quirements to 81, 2,46S,O 900. This spells
continued thin skating for Mr.. Bor-
rover seeking extended banking ac-
cummodations for the next week or two.
Local money conditions, If such
thing was possible. are tighter than
ever. A number of the larger institu
tions today received numerous inquiries
from New York for thirty and sixty
day money. with bids ranging from 3
to . per cent on Stock Exchange col
lateral. The nominal quoted rate for

New York, Dec. %. Today's stock
market developed considerable irrcgu

This was in itself dampcr on market

small amount of money offered The
Stringcucy in money market conditions
