Monetary.
OFFICE N. o. DEMOCRAT.
Friday Evening. Jan. ~, 1sT6.

The money market has shown no ma
terial change during the past week.
The situation continues to be character
lied by an accumulation OF funds, and
only a limited demand for their employ
ment. The approach OF the season for
the commencement OF the spring trade
does not appear to have impaired any
degree of animation to the market. The
discount demand, both at the banks and
outside, is light, and money is quoted at
cheaper rates than have been known In
this market for q considerable period.
With the prospect of large surplus
Of unemployed funds, the attention
of capitalists appears to have been
directed to stocks and securities,
In which the movement thas been con-
siderable during the week, and the in
quiry continues good. The foreign and
domestic exchange markets have been
moderately active. Sterling and francs
are quoted stronger to-day, and New
York sight was In good demand and
sitter at the ruling rates. City bonds
have been fairly active, with an upward
tendency during the week, and are
quoted at an advance for nearly all is
sues. The excitement In new State
bonds appears to have subsidized Since
last weeldtheVhave shown but little anil
nation, and the official quotations Of the
Stock Exchange show a decline Of about
2 per cent. as compared with last week.
The following statement, obtained
from an official source, shows the con-
djtion of the bonded, certified and float
ing debt OF the city on December 81,
1875, as compared with the same date

ness closed at the opening rates in both

day, and Mexican dollars at 91t {goldl
for new and 92s gold for old. against
32k Yesterday for the former and 93h for
