IN New YORK.
u MoSDzY, Dec. Is, A. x.-The trade Of the
j. past week was generally active. The In
port entries are large, but considerable
r portion goes into bond, 10 await a better
e market later in the season. This is ssPe-
ciallv SO With the Dry Goods entries. 4he
; Customs duties, nevertheless, continue fsr
e in advance Of thu same Sc 1s0n last year, and
{ promise, at New YORK, from 100000 70
: -, 500, 900 in December. The Exports Of
Z Produce are on q liberal scale, and the Ex-
, ports OF Specie for the week are S6S2, 90
= in excess OF the weeks receipts from Cali
fornia. This mOve nent, coupled with sun
dry rumors on the Mexican question, which
are without foundation, so far as We are ad-
vised from Washington, induced a tempo
rary advance in the Gold Room. The price
was ruu up 70 l47L, but subsequently re-
turned to l455s. Il is difficult to know
J whether such rumOrs are most 10 be at
tributed to the Mexican Liberals here and
/ in Washington or 10 gossip derived from TIE
/ French Legation or its surroundings. The
suspicion is abroad that the spirit Of mis-
chiei-maklng, or, il may Be- Of s;ock-Job-
| bling, is net altogether foreign TO either par
~; ADD it may be that the same spirit per-
vades certain Of the hasty and incorporate
'frs solutions moved in Congress on Mexico
and the Monroe doctrine. Il Is fortunate
that we have an Administration IN power
whose ability and moderation and self
poised dignity in all that concerns our di-
plomatc affairs, will be sure to keep the
country out Of serious trouble on the Next
can and all other unsettled foreign questions,
at least until positive sggressIon-not now
! probable-frOm the other side prOvokes
departure from friendly intercourse and
! negotiation.
The market for Exchange Bills did not
fairly reach the shipping point for Gold
| Coin, and at the close Of the week there was
less probability for any considerable demand
for export, than was calculated - IN the
Gold Room, be ore the last English mail by
the Jaws, advising an advance IN Co.tOn
and United States Stocks, and the negotis-
ton Of E2.72l 900 bonds by the Atlantic and
| Great Western Company in London.
The market for Money continued 20 I'M
| prove for borrowers through the week, and
| there was more business at 6 per cent.
on Government calls at the clio .
o. Saturday than at any previous time
/ since October. The general rate Of the
| Street on miscellaneous collateral is per
| cent. The ease Of the market and the rel
alive cheap prices for Government Gold
| bearing Stocks and the 30 Currency Loans
have induced & large business in both, while !
she 18th December interest on the Second /
/ Series Of 1905 is being exclusively rein |
/ vested in the same security. The $50 and |
500 Notes are retailing about par the |
S500's and 81 ,000's are quoted al 97Aa975s |

The Cincinnati Commercial Of Friday
says:
Trade in general way was dull to-day
Flour had as sPIritless market as ever, re-
tanning only uominally the old quotations.
Wheat was in only moderate supply, and ,
a little trmer feeling influenced holders.
Choice old Red was scarce. Holders gen
orally ask 50, with 81 IS more frequently
bid, in a small way. The best grade Of new
is held at 81 50 TO 81 So. A sale at the
former figure was made to-day.
Corn was rather Jull to day, though QUO |
tations were not changed.
Rather less firmness was manifested in ,
regard to Oats, 44c being the outside figure
OF buyers.
Rye was in but limited demand, at &c /
fer choice, though held al 75e by those who :
had it on she market.
There was a little trading in Barley, but I
the market has hardly spirit enough even 4
60 afford chance for en- approximate quo c
tation.
Whisky was somewhat irregular in quo {
t8tion 20 day, Gales OF free having bsen 7
made at s. "A and 81 rs, and Of bonded at
26c. The former figure is regarded as the
ruling one.
Cotton is little frmer, 46a46}zc being
the prevailing range.
There was less life in the Provision
market than there was yesterday and hold I
ers seem 10 operate with no confidence in
the support Of prices, although they do not
attempt 10 crowd their stocks of. hess
Pork IS offering at S26 so, and it is said can
be bought al $40.
Lard will not bear quotation above l6JEc '
There were rumors OF its being purchassb | q
at I6I<c, but they are not confirmed by sny c
reported transactions.
Bulk Meats ara very quiet; X, l4J[ca {
Ice are regarded as extreme figures for {
Shoulders, Sides aud clear sides, packed.
Green shoulders aud Hams are more ssla-
Bile, notwithstanding the miserable condi- J
ton Of the weather. Shoulders are il re-
quest at sJzc, but y to &c higher is asked I
for them. Hams Of light weight ere firm at j
Ia. caI5c, but the heavy ones are a drug at
l4Jtc. Sugar-cured Hams are selling rap
idly at &c.
The Hog market is tribe frmer at slOa
$40 60 for medium TO heavy weights net,
Notwithstanding rather more liberal receipts,
end had the weather been favorable il is
probable that an advance could have been
established. In view OF the weakness Of
the market for the product, this is some
what surprising; 70 be accounted for only,
we presume, BY the fact that more Of the
packers are st work than have been; and
competition has thereby become little ,
more active
