(From the Public Leiger.)
PHILADELPH A, Tuesday, Jan 5.
There was rather more activity in the stock market
estcrday than on Saturday, at about the prizes then
quoted. In Government loans there was an advance of k
in the registered 1864'5, and a decline of 1. in the coupon
1865'5, and in the registered 10-40's. At New York
there is reported more activity in bonds, in the absorption
of the millions which have just come on the market in the
payment of interest and dividends.
Money continues to work very close, with little if any
abatement in demand or rates. The banks appear to have
prepared for their quarterly statement, and there is conse-
quently less excitement among borrowers. The banks
report a few applications, which is due perhaps to the f act
that borrowers knew it was useless to ask them for loans
until after the statement was made up. From the course
that Western exchanges are taking, it appears probable
that, early in this month, funds will begin to flow in this
direction, to rest here until the spring movement of pi o-
duce sets in.

New York, January 20.-According to Messrs. Neill
Brothers' report the receipts at all ports for the past four
days have been 41,000 bales, against 37,000 bales same
time last week. Exports to Great Britain, 17,060 bales,
against 14,000 bales same time last week. Exports
to Continent none, against 1,000 bales last week. Total
exports for the four days to all European ports, 17,000
bales, against 22,000 same time last week. New Orleans,
Jan. 19. -Market lower. Middling, 12d ; laid down.
All Southern markets dull, with downward tendency.
Messrs. Stokes, M'Haffie, and Co. have received the fol-
lowing telegrams from their New York correspondents :-
"New York, Jan. 20.-Four days' receipts of cotton at al
ports, 37,000 bales; approximate estimate of receipts for
the week, 70,000 bales; same week last year, 88,000 bales.
New Orleans, Jan. 23.--Middling costs, laid down in Li-
verpool, per sailing vessel, 12-id per lb. Savannah, Jan.
20.-The price of middling from this port, laid down in
Liverpool by sail, is 121-d per lb. Galveston, Jan. 19.-
Good ordinary from this port costs llid, laid down in
Liverpool by sail. Market strong." The above quota-
tions include all charges, and an allowance of 6 per cent.
for loss in weight.
Messrs. Satterthwaite and Co. state--" Our New York
advices per Russia reach to the 6th instant ; they report
a little less stringency in the money market, but still rates
demanded were high, 7 per cent. being exacted on first
rate collaterals, and some cases a commission in addition ;
for mercantile paper the rate ranged from 8 to 10 per
cent. Notwithstanding this, the stock market presented a
firm aspect; in Government Bonds the chief feature being
the steady demand of small investors. The railroad
stock market was buoyant on the whole. The leading
operatcrs and controllers of the principal roads appear to
have suspended their hostile movements, and are now di-
recting their energies to combinations with Western lines,
to secure a through route, in anticipation of the com-
pletion of the Union and Central Pacific lines. New York
Central had fluctuated violently, almost daily -the latest
quotation was about 155. Railroad mortgages were dull,
gold at 135 higher." The following is from the circular
(!f that firm of Jan. 20 : -Tne firm market noticed in our
lust as ruling in London for American Securities has been
fully maintained during the past week with a decided
tendency to improvement; there has been a continuous
buying of United States Bonds for investment, both of
5-20, 18 ;2's, and of 1865'5, and of 10-40's; the ad-
vance on the week being about half per cent. Illinois
shares
.11570 been in good demand, at 93, ex divi-
dend. There has been more disposition to buy Erie,
and the price has improved to 264; the tendency to ad-
vance in them seems kept in check by large supplies from
New York. Considerable transactions have taken place
in Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Mortgage
Bonds, which have touched 464 ; they close rather easier,
about 46. Divisional Bonds are without change,
ancl'De-
bentures ale steady at 42. There is an active demand for
Virginia Six per Cent. and Sterling Five per Cent. Bonds,
but the supply is very abort. Pennsylvania General
Alortgage Sterling Bonds have brought 85, and Illinois
Six per Cent. Sterling 100. Central Pacifies and Union
Pacifies have given way slightly.
