svCOND BOARD.
MONDAY. Dec. 2-P. N.

/ Tie Stock market this morning was heavy, with
ont any special reason, excepting that both parties
were disposed to wait the reception of the Presi-
dents Message and the Department reports before
operating with any energy. The halt in the market
was very natural The principal buyers were the
shorts. At the Second Board quotations were again
lower, but later in the day there better feel
ing, and demand for the leading fancies, which
advanced the whole market : to Z cent. There
were very few stocks offered, and a small amount OF
buying would have advanced the current quota
tons materially. The only feature appeared
to be a general disposition to rest inactive
until the Message had been delivered.
portion of the heaviness Of the day was due TO the
advance in TIE War rate of insurance on American
vessels, which it WAS feared might seriously check
operations in breadsnls and advance the rate of Tx
change. THIS was, however, false alarm, as the
rate has returned to cent and Sterling is very
dull and heavy. The closing quotations were: United
