The money market is without alteration, except
that lenders more anxious to accommodate at
the same rate of interest that has ruled for oome
weeks past. The gold market this forenoon was
even more languid and the sales more limited
than on Monday. Buyers were evidently holding
back for decline. In the afternoon prices began
to give way, and operations accumulated; but yet
the market lacked animation. The quotations

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

TUESDAY, Dec. l5--6 y. NJ.
The excitement in the stock market continued
to-day, and the speculative movement which is
going on increases in interest During the greater
part of last week there an unaccountable
dulness pervading the market, and under the insu-
ence of the letbargy prices on each succeeding
day tended downwards. This state of things did
not correspond with the sentiments OF bull opera
tors, and the bank statement which appeared on
Monday afternoon, gave them sufficient capital to
excite the market and build up prices. They have
succeeded even beyond their expectations, as the
advance to-day will clearly show. The reaction
appear to be the greatest in the Western railway
shares. which have advanced l to , per cent.

there are pretty strong evidences that corner is
being moulded which may soon have sharp turn.

Let us trust our Government. II is doing its

wear has been great Coppcrhcad oracles dilatc
on the fact that Lees army is within days

clusion that the War has made no progress dur
ing the past two years. They shut their eyes to
Port ROYAL, Roanoke Island, Newbern, New
Orleans. Fort Donelson, Nashville, Corinth,
Murfreesboro, vicksburg, Helena, Port Hudson,
Little Rock, &c, &C., and confnc their vision
to one spot and test the success failure of the
War by our progress at this point alone But,
even thus unfairly considered, our progress has
been considerable since the Rebels INSTRUCTED the
lower Potomac on one side and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad on the other beleaguer-

Metropolis and McClelans army one hundred
and fifty thousand strong. These days of hu.
