The street, as well as business generally, has been
YeIy stsgnant to day, excepting among the holiday
fob who of course at this season. are busy athougn
less 80 than usual. Merchants complain OF great stag
nation and the amot utter impossibility OF making
sses Of merchandise, excepting at such low prices as
to induce speculative purchases. This inactivity must
however, disappear as Spring approaches The coun-
try has enormous wants, ard they must be met. Con-
p,ion cannot cease, and our importers and msnu'
fsctu,ers will soon be again actively employed in meet
ing the requirements of thirty millions Of people For
Dry Goods, the inquiry is not active, but prices are
generally steady. The forced sales have mostly
ceased and the Spring importations promise to be
light, importers are not disposed to sacrifice goods
The reduction Of he production OF Domestc Goods
tends to keep them in moderate supply and conse-
quently finn, although the raw material is declining.
The prospect for the Spring trade with the interior 8
better than it wss and some goods are already being
ordered. Stocks throughout the country must be
light.
There is 20 rev feature in the money market, e1-
cspting, perheps, some what increased demand con-
sequent of the general settling of accounts which
Usually occurs a. this of the year. Gitedged
paper is still in mall supply, and passes freely at "a
IL " cent In the stock houses, money Is abundant
ard loans on satisfactory securities easily obtained at
5a7 y cent. The great accumulation OF money at
this point, seeking temporary employment, is shown
BY the willingness of capitalists and banks TO take the
new Treasury Notes az cent interest. IL is feared
in some quarters that the absorption Of gold by the
isaue of these notes will produce disturbance in
the money market, bat if so it csn only be temporary,
as the disbursements of the Treasury will be
Immediately very large, and tie gold will flow back
az ain into the channels Of commerce. The Treasury
rotes cannot be ready until the middle of January,
and as the Treasury needs money at once, pro-
posed to receive the money of capitalists and give re-
ceipts for it, to be redeemed with the notes when
ready. Son parties, however, offset to depositing
money on these conditions, looking upon such receipts
Is Furnishing valid security.
