EVENING STAR. | Financial and Commercial. The New York stock market is less active. | There & less excitement in the specialities of | tne last few days; and the disposition predom- nates to defer extensive operations until after the holidays. As, however, there are pending movements in certain stocks. it will be neces. | *ary to keep wp a certain amount of animation | ma order to eustain the market. The inactivity tm Governments continues. Orders from the | woterior Nave fallen off; but Government bro- | kers buy tolerably freely, and prices are sns- | tained. Old Five-twenties rose yesterday \. H Ten-forties were lower. Money shows no | material change. The supply is steadily acca- | some of the private banker: ve a surplus they cannot employ on the street. The rate continues generally at 7 per ¢ent. on call loans, with rather more demand im come querters. The Commercial of last evening say: «There is tess pressure for discounts; the ex- cees of applications is mostly from dry goods bouses, while the produce trade and grocers are offerimg only a iimited amount of bills. Prime names more freely at7 per ct, but there is still a large amount of first class paper discounted at per cent.; a limited amount of jess known names is discounted at from 10 to 1S per gent, Gold continues quiet; a limited amoum: of “short” sales are made, in anticipa- ou of the Government being aselier at an early day. At the board cash gold was sold at 146%, and on seller's option, thirty days, at 146. Loans aremade at 2a3 per cent. upon the currency advanced.
