NEW YORK. Dec. 20.—Speculative sentiment to-day showed greater sensitiveness to the dis- the call money market than was week, when a 15 per cent rate was practically ignored. wo-aay, when money sed at 10 per cent with an advancing ten- prices broke ehavply all around. The e touched 12 per cent in the morning and r then relaxed, followed by a rally In the stock market, but when money rose again to 15 per cent prices of stocks promptly yielded. The aliered sentiment toward the money market is believed 1o be due to the strict attitude as- sumed by the banks and to calling of loans. The largest selling of to-day was attributed to | the pools which were credited with causing lasi week’s advance in prices and which are said to have received remewed warning against ex- paneion of credits for speculative purposes at present. There is @ strong party in the ma:- ket which operates on the theory that the closeness of money is all that prevents prices of securities from advancing again. This party also entertais the convietion that the tarn of the year Il witness a prompt rellul!un\ in the money market, owing to the disburse- | ment of funds accumulated t5 pay dividends and intercst. Even this party is wary of @ possible squeeze in money before the expected return 1o ease. and there is besides this a | WiGespread sentiment by another speculative | Party that other comsiderations than the sup- | Ply of credits are operating to hold back prices. | The belfef there will be a prompt relaxa- | tior. in money rates afier the end of the year | also is by no means universal. The small in- | terior movement of corn and of cotton poirts to | a holding back from the market which prom- | ises a continued retention of funds back from the rcserve center. The foreign exchange re- quirements will draw large amounts of g from our market upon any relaxation in money ratcs. The demands of labor on the Union Pacific system are the cause of disquiet in the market. The violent advance in nated Copper was supposed to be due to au- thoritative denials of last week's rumors of an agreement 1o erbitrate by the contending copper interests. In the early market therc was some effort to contest the decline ‘and a later show of strength by Sugar had scme sen- ilmental effect in the general market, but the reac ionary tes A resistance.
