BY NEW YORK SUN
Now York, Dec. 10.—Although there
pro many developments last week of
nshlerable importance from a flnnn-
lal point of view. It was not until to-
aril the close of tho week that any
f them seemed to Intluence prices in
the stock market. There was no break
in the story of mercantile and Indus
trial prosperity in every quarter of the
uul. the sole complaint heard In busl-
circlea referring to the difficulty
f getting sufficient and efficient labor.
>f matters directly affecting the securl-
rrmrket last week, first place must
accorded, of course, to the presl-
lent’s annual message to congress, and
t the message was so in qocord with
evious anticipations of its character
that It was utterly without intluence as
market factor. What finally affected
«• market In the dosing days of the
c*ek was obviously the unrelieved
ensure upon all speculative ventures
r the rise in stocks of high rates for
o use of m »n»\v. The rate of renew-
* for bank loans <»f call money on
the Iloor of the st«nk exchange ad
vanced steadily each day during the
\\**ek until 30 i»er cent was askeit and
paid In this way on Friday. It became
known that English hankers had noti
fied bortowers here that about $25,-
ooo.noo of loans maturing on January l
would not be renewed, although It was
manifest that tins foreign monetary sit-
uatiort had greatly Improved, ami 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 England to this side. Wind these
ttion**y rates are can best bo judged by
the fact that *»n Saturday one of the
leading national hanks of the city made
a loan <«f $.'•**.<»<»•< at S per cent f<»r 90
days upon the security of the 4 pei
cent bonds of the city of New York.
This, it must be confessed, rather dis
hearten* hoi»es of any great relaxation
in monetary conditions after the begin
ning of the new year.—filbert ft Clay.
Chicago, Doc. 10.—What closed strong
and l-4$$3-8c higher. Corn unchanged;
oats l-8@l-4c higher; provisions 5<§>

The crowd in wheat discovered lute
In tho day that there were heavy buy
ing orders In the market, and this
caused many shorts to cover nnd drove
no few Investors Into the market. The
selling was scattered.
The visible supply of wheat de
creased 1,113,000 .bushels, while thet
were Increases of 580,000 bushels In

Cash grain transactions here includ

105,000 bushels oats; at the seaboard
10 loads wheat, 3 loads corn and 70,000
bushels onto.
Primary receipts of wheat 1,203,000
