New YORK. Dec. H.-There is an increased de-
mhnd for money o-day, and there were compare.
tlYey few transactions, at &c on call, the bulk Of
the new business being at Z. The decline in gold
causes feeling Of distrust, which induces many
of the lenders to putthe rate up TO ], and tho
bears have been endeavoring to absorb as much
money as possible, so as to assist the downward

great success of the gold exchange in clearing

In the merchandise markets there was q heavy
feeling to realize and lower prices had to be ae-
cepted.
