AMERICAN MARKETS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.
Money has been rather more in demand for a few days
put, and the rates of interest on certain kinds of paper ore
a shade higher. The changing of loans upon some of the
fancy stocks hu caused higher rates of interest to be ob-
tained ; still money is exceedingly abundant, and the suje
ply will be increased by the arrival of the Illinois, now
ens route from Aspinwall. As soon as the banks respond to
the call of the comptroller for the last quarter's report,
money will be attained with as much ease as ever. We
quote: First class indorsed notes and acceptances, short, 5
per annum; long, 51 to 6; single names (paper), 6to 7.
Second class indorsed notes end acceptancet. short, 6 to 7 ;
long, 7to 9. Loans on government and state stocks, 41 to
' • ditto miscellaneous securities, 6 to 7.
LAND Winne:in.—There is • moderate demand for
warrants, which ars a trifle higher than last week, viz : For
certificates, 160 acres, 144 dole. to 146 dols. each ; ditto 80
acres, 72 dots, to 73 dolt. ; ditto 40 acres, 36 dols. to
361 dots.
EXCRANOIL—The demand for exchange on Europe has
not been active, but rates are firm :—Bills en London, 110
to 1101; Paris, 6.11 to 6.121; Amsterdam, 411 to 411 ;
Hamburg, 361 to 361; Bremen, 791 to 801.
United States stocks and other leading securities are firm,
and io request at quotations. Speculative stocks advanced
materially in the early part of the week, but a reaction has
taken place, and prices are gradually falling off, as will be
KIM upon reference to our list of sales, at the first and
second beards. In ancurrent funds there is a fair amount
of business doing, but without any material change in the
rates. The banks that receive on deposit uneurrent bank
notes, get • good share of the active circulation which
reaches this city.
Corroe.—The sales since our last review, per America,
amount to 4,200 bales at Ic. to ic. decline, to which our
quotations at foot are adjusted. The light stock on hand
has not proved sufficient to counteract the effect of the in.
creasing disposition generally to accredit large crop esti-
mates. Whether correct or not, the future must determine ;
but, at this moment, 3,000,000 bales is the minimum esti.
mate of any section, and the majority incline to 3,150,090 to
3,225,000 bales. The distribution is as follows :
