New York Money Market.
New YORK., Dec. THE Express says
| the Stock Exchange presented more ac-
| tive scene this evening than for some time
past. In consequence of general pres
sure to sell the entire list of active specu-
| lative securities, the market suffered a
general decline and exhibited considerable
weakness, the New York Central seemed
to be the vulnerable point, and the stock
| declined to 904 and scrip to 8411, which
dragged down the entire list. The decline
| in the New York Central is due to the con-
tiuued heavy sales by parties accredited
! with holding confidential relations with
the Commodore. The sellers of the New
York Central were free buyers of the
Western Union Telegraph, which carried
that stock up to 45e; the latter and the
Reading have been the principal features
and are very strong all day. State secu-
rites very quite with limited transactions.
An organized raid was made upon the
stock market to-day by Withdrawing the
loans and locking up the proceeds. At one
time during the day money was sharp at z
per cent, but at the close 6 was the gene
raj rate on Governments, and on railway
and mixed collaterals. The names of one
or two wealthy houses are mentioned in
connection with this artificial stringency,
owing to the unexpected presence in town
of one of the National Bank examiners;
an attempt to make money stringent has
been abandoned for the time being. Rhode
Island was very weak and was rumored
Tracy was a heavy seller. The steamer
China took out $500, 600 iG specie. The
gold market was dull and steady during
this p. NJ, closing Eat 110@1104. Rates
paid for borrowing to-day were 2@3 per
cent and fiat Carrying to z. Clar-
