The market during the early part of this week was very
active, favored by an advance in geld and considerable spec-
ulative orders from parties outside of the regular trade, awl
as high as 211,-c was paid for Middling Uplands. Bat the
advance culminated on Wednesday; yesterday in the absence
of advices from Europe and lower gold the market became
compartively dull, and to-day, with gold still lower, was
quite weak. The demand from spinners has teen liberal
under a brisk market and higher prices for goods, and ship-
pers have been active. The later accounts from the South
report heavy rains (the winter having previously been un-
usually dry) and the rise of the lateral streams will pro-
bably increase the deliveries at New Orleans and Texas.
The sales of the week foot up 38,807 bales, of which 8,387
bales were taken by spinners, 11,465 bales for export, 3,573
bales in transit, and 15,382 bales on speculation. The fol-

NEW Yorm.—There is no change in the general condi-
tion of the money market, from the prevailing ease noted
during several days past. Capital is abundant at 5 per
cent. for call loans on stock collaterals, and at 4 per cent.
upon Go 7erument securities. The best mercantile papa
at short date is readily placed at 6 to 7 per cent. per annum
discount.

UNITED STATES SECURITIES.—The market for Govern"
rnents has been unsettlod, and, on the whole, weak. The
price of gold has steadily declined, and until within a dal
or two prices of Five-T wenties in Europe have been lower,
which in the absence of any decided demand from home
investors or any speculative movement of importance has
caused a decline of ito I per cont. Ten-forties, however,
have been exceptional, being in demand from foreign houses,
and close higher. The Senate funding bill has produced
some misgivings among home investors, and there is !
disposition to defer purchases of Five-Twenties until it ts
more apparent what is likely to be the result of the dis-
cussion of the measure in Congress. The predominant
feeling in the matter is one of distrust that Congress can he
brought to the adoption of a bill tending so directly to the
degradation of the public credit. Judging from the present
temper of holders and of dealers, any indications showing a
strong probability of the passage of the bill would be followed
by an extensive realizing upon securities. Although a draft
of the bill has been telegraphed to Europe the effect upon
bondholders there is not yet apparent. To-day bonds 11011
ruled higher hero than at London, and orders have been
sent out for Sixty-Twos.

The Five-Twenties of 1867 and new Sixty-Fives are
scarce, and efforts have been made to adjust the price of
Sixty-Sevens and Seven-Thirties so as to admit of the
Treasury selling the former and buying the latter, which
it cannot do without loss except with a difference of to
per cont. in the price ; the attempt, however, has been
unsuccessful, and the difference between the two securities
is now only per cent.
The Treasury has announced that the Sixes of 1841
must be all presented for payment and that no interest
will be allowed after the date of maturity, January 1.

PUBLIC DEBT.
By comparing this with the statement of January 1, it fl
shown that the debt bearing coin interest has increased
$22,360,950 ; the debt bearing currency interest has de"
creased $19,782,600 ; the mutual debt not presented for
payment has decreased $3,583,471 64; and the debt bear"
ing no interest has increased $10,163,554 66—making th,a,
increase in the total debt since January 1, 1868, $9,058,43°
02. The amount of coin in the Treasury during the same
period has decreased $9,939,090 97, and the amount of
currency has decreased $192,199 10—leaving the amount
of debt less cash in Treasury February 1, $19,189,723 09
more than on January 1.
Tennessee State Sixes continuo to be pressed on the
markot at 60 per cent. for account of the Railroads which
wore teueutly biwutod Otate ttiti Lk, the extent of $4,500,000.
As some of the roads thus aided were obliged to borrow
their quota of interest by pledging their bonds, it is in!"
bible that some of the pledges have been sold. There Is
no reasonable doubt of the ability of the State to meet the
interest promptly. Regarded as a railroad security atonal
and throwing out of the account. the fact that the State of
Tennessee stands behind them, they are the cheapest
stock on the list.
The total receipts at the sub-Treasury well
$1,075,566.10—t0tal payments, $565,236.17, leaving
t 3
balance on hand in specie aad paper money 4
5102,746,909.27. Amount of gold certificates fastiet"
$73,000. The receipts for duties to-day at the Custom"
house were $434,923.81, of which $19,000 were in golf'
and the balance in Old certificates.
