WASHINGTON, D. e., jan L. 6p.m.
The stock market has been very active the past
| few weeks for District securities, little being
done in Governments, bank and railroad stocks,
&c. Sales OF District bonds have been so great
that there are now few in the market, except the
| "lS- scar bonds" which are held mostly in this
country. These are generally active. There has
| been a gsed demand for 365s up to last Friday,
| but the activity has somewhat revived to-day.
The per cent. general improvement certificates,
or ''gi eenbask bonds" fell on the LIST Of January
| from S01I to the present quotations, (which in
clude the coupons theTeon,l on account OF the
nOD-paymeDt Of interest. They are row very
dull and telling. The trade is almost nominal in
| the per cent. sewer certificates, and few are
offered; some sales yesterday at II. Afler the
announcement that the sewer tax would be re-
funded these bonds went down to 90. There was
slight rise recently, caused by the passage Of
bill continuing the board of audit by which
holders OF these certificates privileged to file
them for conversion into 8 ass. Some speeula-
tors are buying investment and for audit, to
draw interest TO the LIST Of April last and TO be
funded withS per cent "gTeenback bonds"

COMMERCIAL.
Oar merchants and traders report aremarkably
good businea5 generally ance the opening OF the
new gear.
The dry goods business since the close Of the
year hiss shown marked SIGNS q improvement,
and with the low prices ruling we have no doubt
a very active trade will be transacted during the
next sixty days. 1t Is very evident that the nam
uiacturens or staple fabrics are E0t making
large proR4. as will be shown by our quotations
of the few Leading makes which are really be-
low the prices which ruled in 1880, when "the
bottom price vas reached" If We take into con-
sideration the increased cost Of labor AID the diff
ference betWeea gold and gTeenoaekE.
