There was a slight yielding in prices last
week, and little more activity in general
| business. But the transactions were very
moderate Buyers still confine their pur-

Improvement can be expected till after LIST

THE MONEY MARKET has ruled quiet.
Capital is somewhat in excess of present
wants of borrowers; but parties having
funds to loan find no difficulty in placing
them at to s per cent. for commercial pa
per. Call loans with Government collat-
erals, are done at TO s percent. s"A
GOLD was heavy all week, and it steadily
declined from 144s& on Monday, to 1875 on
saturday. The exports Of specie from this
port for the week aggregated S5SO,597, of
which only SIS5, 662 was in American coin.
The receipts from California amounted to
81 ,46l 900. The demand for customs is very
light, averaging "a millions per week, with
a prospect of no increase on that rate for
sometime. 1t is supposed the secretary OF
Gle Treasury VIII sell gold to provide Tor
interest on7-30 loans, maturing this month
and next, and also enable him to retire four
milllosle each month, as authorized Dylaw
The disbursement of 1919 millions OF inter-
est ON the 18TH instant, on the second series
of the $50 loan, and smaller amount on
the 18TH January, will tend to swell the
volume OF currency in the market.

quote Bankers 60 day Sterling 1895 to 1895.
UNITED STATES SECURITIES-Have been
ia tair demand from home investors. The
foreign movement in bonds is limited as

news from Europe less favorable, while
ocean-freights have advanced. In Flour,

sales. The inclement weather of Saturday.
with continued decline in gold, further de-
pressed the market, and to sell freely con-
cessions would haveto bemade. Southern

mand is light, and the decline of winter
wheat is to &c per bushel. Corn is lower.
We quotemixed Western at 81 10 to 81 Ii.
The mild weather, the decline in gold, and
the large arrivals of new corn, have
tended much to depress the market. The
stock is now about 100000 bushels.

CoTToN-Was dull during the week, and
the market closed a trifie lower. The de-
mand was principally from exporters, but
from day TO day small parcels were taken
by manufacturers to supply immediate
wants. The week closed with quotations
of middling uplauds at 33@331zc., and quite \
heavy at quotations. To-day there is more /
activity, but no change in prices and the
is mostly for speculation.
