NEW YORK, Dec. 13.
The stock market was very dull yesterday, and Priem
were a fraction lower. The feature of the market was
general indisposition to do business. Gold fell to 1311 ;
exchange to 145. Money wan in demand at 6to 7 per cent.
Cotton was steady yesterday, and the tendency of
prices was downward. There was much less activity in
flour, wheat and corn, prices of which declined slightly.
The demand for pork was brisk, and 6,000 bbls. were
sold, mem closing at 14.25 dolt per bbl. Beef and lard
were lees active and drooping. Bacon was mote freely pur-
chased and was 6.-m. A good demand existed for gunny
cloth. There was more activity in ingot copper and Straits
tin, at advancing prices. The freight market wee dull, and
tendency was towards lower rates.
