STOCKS REVIEWED
BY NEW YORK SUN
New York, Dec. 10.—Alt hough there
fire many developments last week of
onslderuble Importance from a flimn-
lal point of view, It was not until to*
ard the close of the week that any
of tfwm aeemetl to Influence prices in
the stock market. There was no break
In the story of mercantile and Indus
trial prosperity In every quarter of the
lund, the sole complaint heard In busi
ness circles referring to the difficulty
f getting sufficient and efficient labor.
tt matters directly affecting the securi
ty market last week, first place must
•corded; of course, to Hie pres I-
tent's annual message to congress, and
et the message was so In accord with
ilous anticipations of Its character
that It was utterly w ithout Influence us
a market factor. What Anally Affected
the market in th^ closing days of the
week was obviously the unrelieved
pressure upon nil speculative ventures
>r the rise In stocks of high rates for
the use of money. The rate of renew- j
ir bank loans of call money on
the floor of the stock exchange ad-;
■anred steadily each day during the
k until 30 per cent was asked and
•aid In this way on Friday. It became
known that Kngllsh bankers had noti
fied borrowers h< re that about $23.-
000.O00 of loans maturing on January l
would not be renewed, although It was
manifest that the foreign monptary sit
uation had greatly Improved, and al
though sterling here became so de
pressed under the high money rates as
to afford superficial Indications of a
resumption of the movement of gold
from Hngland to this side. What these
money rates are can best he Judged by
the f tot that on Saturday one of the
leading national banks of the city made
a loan of $50,000 at 8 per cent for 90
days upon the security of the 4 per
cent bonds of the city of New York.
This, it must be confessed, rather dis
heartens hopes of any great relaxation
in monetary conditions after the begin
ning of the new year.—Glbert A Clay.
