The World Finance Call Money Rates Soared High ite in New York. THE BANKS LOSE MORE CASH loan Conditions Governed Stock Market Sales. Is. _ XOOK TO SHAW FOR ASSISTANCE Conditions in London Were Reactionary?Resumption of Gold Exnnrta tn Ecvnt. r ? v- ?o w x? fil arial Dispatch to The Star. KBW YORK. December 5.r~It was again the case today that it was impossible to go very far beyond the lines of the money market in any consideration of stock market conditions. Opening and renewal rates for money ranged around 18 per cent, which wert- the highest figures quoted during that time of the day at any period Of the pre Vailing stringency. Further transactions of currency to tlie interior were made through the siibtreasury. and this morning's tigures showed that the hanks have lost to the subtreasury since last Frid-y an increased num bringing the total up to Ji.U34,000. Current estimates put the actual loss, including today's transactions, at about $7,<XK),000. These tigures should be considered in the light of the amount of surplus rest rves reported in last Saturday's bank statement. Condit ons corresponding to tho :c in the market for call loans prevailed in the time money market, where 10 per cent was bid for accommodation running over thirty days. It was almost useless to uiscuss any matters of general Importance, of which there were very few. aside from those relating to t>-a money market. ?

In thait event he may have overlookeu the rates now being quoted for commercial paper. Conditions Abroad. The London stock market was reactionary because of revived anxiety as to money maikot conditions at tliat point, due to the resumption of gold exports to Egypt. Nevertheless there was no substantial change In the rates for either call or time loans at that point. For some reason foreign houses were quite heavy buyers In this market, notably of United States Steel common, which was, in fact, one of the Strongest stocks on the whole list. Tht- market opened Irregular and fluctuated in an irregular fashion throughout the business session. In the main its tendency was heavy, but not remarkably so, in view of the excessive rates which were quoted for loans on call. As had been commonly assumed, in view of yesterday's- increase in the rates of dividend, on Michigan Central and L,ake Shore, the dividend on Sew York Central was raised today to an annual basis of ti per cent, to which circumstance the stock gave some early reflection, but a 4111 1 ?iiu? vv< lit ?_?_?!liiuuii mm inv & vuiui'iuvi 1 Of the market.

[BULLS AND BEARS' Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 5.?The professional element in Wall street continues 1 bearish, principally because of the high rates for cail money, but shrewd stock market observers, Including Internationa? bankers, confidently believe that Secretary Shaw will soon come forward with a comprehensive relief measure. From the confidence displayed by some interests it would seem that they had received direct Information . that such action will positively be taken in the near future. An international banker, in discussing the monetary situation, called attention to the fact that the rather heavy withdrawals for inerlor points could not be * "* ? ' - - i I _ il J cnnrgea up 10 wan street ayct: UILILIUII auu that, on the other hand, the demand for money from those centers could reasonably be construed as representing the legitimate requirements of general business about which Che Secretary of the Treasury has had so much to say. It is generally conceded that while most of the trading recently has been of a highly professional character, the head of a commission house which has Important foreign connections says that the buying of the standard stocks for foreign accounts for some time has been large la the aggregate. ? * ? Those who take an optimistic view of the stock market base their opinion not only upon the belief that the money market Is to be relieved, but on the Idea also that if the issues of new securities about which there have been persistent rumors are actually to be made general, conditions In financial circles are almost certain to be favorable. In addition to the rights, which it is believed will be announced on Great Northern, St. Paul, and Canauian stocks. It is believed that the Atchison stockholders will have the rieht soon to subscribe either to an additional amount of convertible bonds or common stock. While it has been generally rumore'd that the next increase in the authorized capital of the Atchison would be in the shape of convertible bonds, railroad men are Inclined to believe that common stock will be put out Instead of bonds. It has been the theory of some well-informed interests that such action would not be taicen until thecommon stock was established on a t> per cent basis. Some railroad interests still cling to this theory, but others are of the opinion that because the demand upon the traffic facilities of the Atchison has increased at such an unexpectedly rapid rate, the new issue may be put out before the next dividend period comes around. * * * The sharp advance in New York Central in London this morning tends to make credible the statement made by many observers of the market yesterday that had it not been for a sharp and sudden advance In money rates yesterday New York Central. on the increased Lake Shore and Michigan Central dividends, would have closed higher. The action of the Lake Shore directors has called attention to the potential value of the assets in New York Central's treasury. Many important interests confidently believe that within another year the Lake Shore dividend will be made 15 per- cent more. The company's real earning power is estimated at around 30 per cent, so that anrnle margin remains for a large increase in that dividend. i London Closing Stocks.

Supreme Court on the Question of Sheriff Shipp's Contempt. Tlie Supreme Court of the United States today finished its hearing In regard to the legal aspect of the cases of Sheriff Shipp and others, under prosecution for contempt of that court in connection with the lynching of the negro Johnson at Chat tanooga, Tenn., last March. Former Attorney General Judson Harmon of Ohio and Messrs. Louis Shepherd and George M. Ohamlee appeared for the defendant, and Solicitor Genera. Hoyt closed for the government. Mr. Harmon contended that as Johnson's case was not one which involved the construction of the Constitution of the United States there was no right of appeal to the federal courts, and that consequently the Supreme Court did not acquire jurisdiction and should not proceed to inflict punishment for contempt, but should leave the lynching offense to be dealt with by tlhe state courts as a crime under the state laws.
