confidence, and a general disposition is manifested to
operate for a Hie. But this tendency has been more than
counteracted during the week by an extraordinary de-
mand for money. This demand was caused by the pay-
ments to be made on the 2nd January, amounting to some
8,000,000 to 10,000,000 dols.; it affects more particularly
loans payable on demand. The differences paid for car-
rying S rocks are equivalent to an interest of 24 per cent.
per annum. In view of this pressure, Stocks have been
well sustained. _ _ _

The Foreign Exchange Market closed at 1084 to 1081
on London, ready cash terms, and 1081 per cent. in
settlements with the regular bankers, and on short credit.
The supply left over for the next packet, sailing direct on
sth instant, was quite liberal, and the present mail is an
unusually light one for the close of the year. Continental
Exchanges were even more depressed than sterling. the
range of France 5.25 to 5.20. No gold goes to Boston for
export as far as we are advised.
COTTON.—News up to this date has had no other influ-
ence here than to confirm the opinion noticed in my last
circular as prevailing. among the generality of exporters
of cotton. No decline, however, has been submitted to
since holders are quite able to control the small stocks
now on hand. Sales continue to be made to manufac-
turers, and in the execution of such small foreign orders
as are peremptory, or for completirig freight engagemetrs,
the total for the week does not exceed 6,500 bales ; prices
are without change. The quotations annexed are renewed
from last week. The exports for the week have been—to
Li veroool, 2.205 ; Etivre, 614 ; Rotterdam, 128 ; Glasgow,
2.967 bales.
