2 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Wapxusar, Dec. 20—6 P. M. ‘Tore has been # dull and unsettled, but on the whole , market for stocks to-day. At asenvuete board the prices of even! or ‘and in some instances a fractional advance wes exporionced. Erie soldat 95%, New York Central 06%, Beading 10734, Michigan Southern 763, Cleveland ‘and Pittaburg 99% » 85%, Northwestern 36%, Quick- silver 43, Schuylkili Coal 1434, Canton 457, Ohio and Missiasippt certificates 299%. At the first regular board Brie was strong, closing % higher than at the half-past mo board yesterday. New York Central showed an advance of 3, Reading %, Northwestern %, Quicksilver 34. Michigan Southern, North- western preferred, Rock Island and Cleveland and Toledo were steady. Cleveland and Pittsburg was % lower, Cumberland %. Ohio and Mississippi cer- tificates were in demand at 203; 8%. Schuylkill Coal ‘gold at 13% a 14 Government securities were quict. Coupon five-twenties of the old issue were 3 higher, ‘and the third issue was steady. A small lot of coupon ten-fortics was sold at a decline of §. Seven-thirty motes were unaltered. of the atreot, was bought in, @ considerable extent, and but afterwards fell off to 94%, closing 3 ‘than at the first board. New York Central was %. lower, Michigan Western %, Pittsburg 1, Northwestern ° 1, preferred X, Obio and Mississippi certificates 4, Quicksilver %. Government securities wore weaker. Coupon five-twenties of the old issue déclined 34, third fague }, ten-forties 3, seven-thirties, second series, i. ‘The first series advanced 3. At the open board at half-past three the market was a shade lower on a portion of the list; but Erie was strong at 96. New York Central closed at 95%, Reading 106%,, Miohigan Southern 753, Cleveland and Pittsburg 87%, Olevoland and Toledall4, Northwestern 35%, Schuyl- Kill Coal 1344, Mariposa (b.3) 14%. Afterwards, on the street, Erie continued etrong at 05 a 953¢, contrary to general expectation. Hitherto a call- tog in of this stock by the lenders, as was the case to-day, and a buying im under the rule in cases whore the borrowers failed to respond, has usually been attended with heavy sales by the bull operators; but such hardly appears to have been so in the present instance, if we may judge by this advance following the calling and buying in manwuvre. If not, the lattor was probably intended to befog the street and decoy the Dears into selling the stock “‘short.'’ The market con- tinued dull up to the close. At half-past five P. M. Erie had receded to 0434 a %. Pittsburg was steady at BT a 3. ‘The money market was largely supplied, while the de- mand for loans continued light, so that greater case was generally experionced than at any time during the month, Lenders were anxious to place their funds at seven per cent, but in a number of instances six was aocepted. The dulness on the Stock Exchange was re- garded as somewhat anomalous, in view of the great abundance of money available for speculative uses, and the absence of any really depressing influences; but a vague rumor to the effect that a bill had been introduced in Congress authorising tho Secretary of the Treasury to fund tho public dobt at, his discretion had doubtless some offect in producing hesitation among the bulls, although thero 4g no good reason why such a bill, oven if actually passed, should affect the course of speculation on tho Stock Ex- change, tho state of the money market, or prices in the general markets. Such a vill would meroly.coufer upon the Setrotary the authority he bas asked for in his re. port, but which, from the nature of his surroundings, bo ‘will bo unable to exercise for three years to come, unloas Perhaps to the extent of neutralizing the effect of tho fresh issues of national bank notes, which are going for. the rate of about four millions a week, the amount for the week ending with the 16th inst, having been $4,701,210. It is impossible, howover, that any process of contraction to offset this inflation can be adopted by the Treasury with safety to itself, which will be suffictent- ly epeedy to prevent these new national bank isauee from oxerting a subtle influence upon monetary affairs higly favorable to speculation for a rise. The socumula- tion of funds at the financial centres will continue, and it {s vory unlikely that these will be suffered to romain as fdle as at present. In tho’ digcount line the plethora of money is inducing . greater In the acceptance of second class com. mercial paper, and atthe same time the pressure for Giecounts Is abating, owing to the dulness of tho genera! markets causing a reduction of the quantity of paper made, Thero is, however, little or no noticeable change fo rates, tho first grmle being quoted at 709 per cont and tho second at 10 « 14; butit is fair to infor that chore ia more doing at the lower figures, The gold market was extremely dull, and coin was foaned by paying two per cent intorest ypom the curren- oy advanced. The opening quotation was 146%, fol- lowed by an advance of 3¢, after which the price dropped ot 146 and remained steady at that point till the close of business, There wasno specie shipped by the Boston steamer. The Henry Chauncey, from Aspinwall, brought $885,852. Foreign exchange was inactive, and bankers’ bills at eixty days on England were quoted at 100% a 10044. ‘Both ous exports and imports continue above the aver- age, but allowance must be made for the importe being caloulated at their gold value, while the exports are esti- mated at their currency valuation. The exports last wook wore returned at $5,440,445, and the imports at $6,744 248. The total exports (exclusive of specie) from the port of Now York to foreign ports auring the week ending De. comber 19 amounted in value to $6,440,445. b, The business at the Sub-Treasury 40-day was as fol- Now York Stock Exchange.
