The rate 50 per cent and there was small dls- tion 10 vield below 36 per cent, while the ve operations of the day were stilf in prog- Tess, and belated borrowers made @ late rate of 0G0 per cent. This was a distinct disappoint-. ment to the hopes of some of the boldest of last week's speculators. Many ‘who took a slighting view of the jmportance of a 100.per nt rate for onc day or two days regard with lese equanimity the possibility of & rate con- ! eiderably less_ also still high, should It be 1 for a period of days or even wesks. ® money market was less affected to-day | an was hoped by the large disbursements of | tvidend and interest money, for which pro- vision has been making by the accumulaticn | of cdeh and by the release of sums gathered | Into trust companies to strengthen their show ing for the annual statement. Such relief as is | to be looked for from these sources should |- come pretty which promptly and further relaxation _is hoped for from other sources will come into effect more slowly. The deposit at transfer to San Francisco proved a disagree- able surprise and helped to establish the credit balarce of the Government institution at tne Clearing-house this morning, which amountsd to $231,400. Without counting this, however, the banks have already lost to the Sub-Treas- ury since the bank statement $1.700,000. The money situation in foreign markets, however, eased_decisively. Discounts declined at Lon- don, Panis and Berlin, sterling exchange rose at Paris and Berlin, and there was a sharp mark- ing down in the price of gold in the London market. The Russian situation was considered improved. and continental money markets were Telleved accordingly. The course of mone foreig rkets is of importance to the York situation, owing to the very heavy ums Rorreoed fro, Aralin Tasdeie D0 I8 ‘So00st e appropriation there, and all is due n the new four weeks. The facility with ch these obligations can be renewed may have a bearing on the future of the speculation Eere. New York exchange at Chicago, which | had been ruling at a discount, rose to a small premium to-day. Some stress *was laid on the fact that ‘wagers on the Mayoralty election in New York. which were held -up)on the contest, were paid off to-day. clal efféct was produced on sentiment by the manifest pressure upon the United States Steel stocks, Unfon Pacific and which were Amalgamated Cop- influential leaders of last week’'s advance. The recovery in the money rate on the demand from belated borrowers | 1ate in the day added to disappointment over { the small outside participation in the market, induced general throwing over of stocks in the final hour's trading, which carried the average ievel below Saturday and wiped out many of the earller gains.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE. Future Grain Provisions. CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—The market for wheat was firm for the greater part of the day, there being at first a slightly easler feeling which continued until through the first half hour of trading. This decline was induced by Iiberal receipts in the Northwest and local traders sold freely. The opening on was a_shade lower to a shade higher at 87%c to 88c and before the end of the first hour the prices had eased Off to 87%@ST%c. Higher prices at Liverpool, sald to be ca by smaller ship- ments from Russia and ports on the Danube, together with buying by leading bulls, brought about a reaction, and prioes made a fair rally. Many early seliers and this alded tn the creation of & frmer feeling. The total volume of trading, however, was not large. The dullness of the holldays was stil] in evidence. For May the highest” point of th was reached at 88%@88isc. The close was firm with May %@%¢ up at 88%c.

A carload of Western Poultry came in to a retail Bim on Monday and three cars wers marketed in the wholesale market yesterday, making four cars received thus far this week. The stock recefved in the wholesale market met with a brisk demand and cleaned up quici at satisfactory prices. Quotations for domestic stock were largely nominal, there being very little avallable. All kinds of Wild Ducks and Geese were lower under heavy arrivals. Hare, too, declined sharply.

From the poultryman’s point of view the season thus far ls very unsatisfactory. Similar conditions are reported by the Butier shippers, who say that not only are they feeding their cows dry feedstuffs at high prices, but that the cows themselves are giving much less than the usual quantity of milk owing to the cold Weather.
