NEW YORK, TITESDI7EVENDIO, Dec. 2.
Mosey.—Since the departure of the Cambria for Europe
the stock market has gradually improved, and United States
securities have been in good demand at full prices. The
transfer books for United States stocks are now closed, and
our quotations are" interest off." The transfers on foreign
account for the week ending the 29th ult. amounted to
349,400 dols. State Stocks and Railroad Bonds have been
in fair request, and several sales have been made on foreign
account. Speculative stocks have undergone the usual
fluctuations, but have upon the whole an upward tendency.
EICIIANOE on England and France has been firm,
whilst on some of the contir.ental ports they have been
tattier lower. We quote London at 1101 to 1101; Paris
' 6.133 to 5.124 ; Amsterdam, 4li to 411; Hamburg, 381 to
36 ; Bremen, 78 to 78t.
The demand for money yesterday and today has
been active, but freely met without producing any
stringency, er causing any material advance in the
rates of interest. There is a good inquiry among
capitalists for business paper, with only a moderate supply
of desirable names. Up to the present time the receipts of
paper from the south have been far behind former seasons,
consequently there is only a limited Ansonia of short cotton

paper at present on the market. Tho steamer to-morrow
' will take out probably a million of dollars 13 IZ
and one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in silver.
will not sensibly affect the money market; the I eeeipte
, from California within akw days past being more An an
offset to the estimated amount that will be esp.,
; week. Thee shipments of gold are likely to ittinue
during the coming season, though the amount young for-
ward will be regulated by the mum of foreign eseii alga ;
but guld being now one of the regular producCor4 of the
country, will undoubtedly be exported freely act ten, as it
i soma an from California in ,uch abundance.

Cerrox.—The arks of the week amount to 5,100 balm.
The hulk of the bu•iness was transacted during the three
but days of Norm:atter, consisting chiefly of "to
arrive, by ship asnrdes. Siuc • tae opening of :ite present
week there have been no fresh sample. received nd wow
quently no stock on sale. A great feeling his :-• d Ind

The market closes quietly, buys rs awaiting fr 't ^

is much hiss than usual, although there has In i i•. of lato
several partici in the market purchasing on , •iolation,

the goy. content stores, there are about 2 I carrels
of flair and 120,000 bushels of wheat. e ex-
