MONEY MARKET.
The New York Evening Post, of Saturday, December
21, says :
Gold is a little lower to-day. Tho leading rates were from
flat to 2 per cent for carrying. The exports for the week
aro about 2% millions. Sterling Exchange is a traction
easier, as the rato of interest rules so low in england
that i. c capitalists there are increasing their investments
on this side.
1 be loan market is easy at G percent. The discount
demand is small, but th .rc is a general disposiUon on
the part of the banks to accommodate their dealers for
short terras. Tho transactions axe on the basis o? 7aSa
8for choleo names. The Sub-Treasury during tho past
week has disbursed a large amount of < urreucy for inter?
est upon .tune Seven-.hirties an i December Compound
Notes, which matured on the loth mst The principal
of the latter has been redeemed generally in the 3 per ct
Csrtificates, but the payments have probably increased
tho amount of the bans, reserve The course of inteiior
exchange is m iavor of this city, scmo remittances are
still making to Cincinnati; but at other points the rate
of exchange rules m ia vor ol this city.
'1 ho stoct market is quiet in consequence of tho nc sr
approach of the holidays. Governments ure firm, with
a better tone and the speculators appear to be buying to
cover their short engagements.
