Tlie money Market.— The money market has been excessively
stringent throughout the week, with 7 per cent gold na alioiit the
lowest rate in all oidiuary transactions on stock collaterals, while
in the majority of cases stock brokers have also paid a commission ranging from 1-33 to ^ per cent a day. Some of ihe leading
government bond dealers have lieen accommodated, as usual, at
lower rate.s than those current on the street, and have not paid
more than 7 per cent, or at the outside, 7 per ceut gold, for their
losUl.

Slates Bonds The market for government securities
has been quiet, but generally firm, though the closing rates tonight for gold bearing bonds are a fraction below those given in
our last report, while currency sixes are higher. There is no
specially large demand from any one class of buyers, but a steady
inquiry from home and foreign purchasers.
Dejilers have again
been surprised by another notice from Secietary Boutwell calling
in $20,000,000 more of five-twenties, to be paid March 3j, 1872
the same notice states that the bonds called December 7th will be
paid at any time, on presentation, together with accrued interest.
This makes $40,000,000 of five-twenties of 1803 to be paid next
Marcli, of whicli $32,000,000 are estimated to be held abroad.
It
is not supposed that any large amount of bonds will be presented
for payment lie fore March, unless there should be such a turn in
our markets as to make cash gold much more in demand than it
IT lilted
;
Is lit jiresent.
probably Mr. Boutwell's intention to endeavor to strengthen the credit of the United States Government abroad, to the
utmost possible extent, and thus prepare the way for negotiating
a further amount of 5 or 4^ per cent bonds.
As to whether he

Ballroad and mscellaneous Stocks, -The
of the stock market has been the extraordinary finnness in prices
iu the face of a money market which has required 7 per cent.,
gold, to i per cent, a day for carrying stocks.
This strong
tone seems to be accounted for by the general confidence which
is felt in an upward movement to take place after the opening of
the new year, supported by easier rates for money which the
large January disbursements are expected to create. There Is at
present no important " short " interest in stocks, and the weight
of the Street being largely on the side of higher price.*, there has
been less eBect produced by a close money market tlian is usoally
seen at such periods.

tolerably firm throughout the week on a moderate business. Thc^
lower price of gold has induced some parties to buy exchange at
present figures, anticipating that the gold price for bills might be
higher herealter. Cotton bills, or rather the bills of bankers
drawn against cotton, are in fair supply, and sell at figures very
close to those of our leading bankers, the 00 days' sterling bills of
a prominent Southern bank having sold here this week at 109.
There are lew strictly commercial bills offering, as the low price
of gold furnishes small inducement to ship merchandise to
foreign ports.
The transactions for the week at the Custom House and SubTreasury have been as follows

Virginia FuudluK Rill.— A concurrent resolution has pasae^I
the Virginia Legislature, by a vote of 104 to 18. in the Houm) of
Delegates, and 27 to 13 in the Senate, lor discontinuing the funding of the State debt until It can be ascertained what ia the
amount of the current expenses of the State Government, the
amount of Interest on the whole debt, and the probable iacreatw
of interest that may be necowary. "The bill at last acouunta wa«
before the Governor.
In the debate in the Senate on the Uoose reaolatioa (uapending
the operation of the Funding act, it waa stated ibat bi9«h the
January and .Inly interest un the fuude<l debt could be paid under
the presi-nt financial admini.stratiou of the State. Th<< amount
now in the treasauy is $1,800,000, and the amount ol the January
interest ia $000,000.
In reply to a reaolution of inquiry from the
House, Attorney-General Taylor laya
" The Funding act does not, in my opinion, make an appropriation for the payment of interest upon the bonds issued under that
act.
I think
there shoald Iw an art authorising; the aiMli'or to
transfer the sum necessary to pay the interest otbarwiae the
treasurer will not be justified in making such payment."
The amount thus fnr funded is about $80,000,000.

TEA.
Rumors have prevailed of further movements of considerable magnitude in
a partially speculative form, but the general trade demand has been iroderate
and the market as a rule quite dull. Buyers were to be found and we understand that some very fair invoices have gone out from second hands where
goods were particularly desirable and almost certain to satisfy the ordinary
^vant of consnmers at any time, but as a rule the inclinations of jobbers was
to take nothing beyond the necessities of tbe known immediate wants. Compared with the outlet there has been an ample supply of goods available
though stocks in some cases are in reality small and poorly assorted. Holders
liave no disposition to urge business and there seems to be a pretty general
belief that when the first of the year shall have passed a revival of the demand
will take place. The former range of quotations is preserved with the same
tone as to prices. Greens and 0oloni.'8 steady and Japans slightly in buyers
favor. Sales of 1 500 Japans, 8,200 Oolongs, and 1.800 Greens.
Imports this week have included 13.743 lbs. Blr.ck per "Eme" from Foochow
The receipts indirectly have been 50 pkgs. by steamer and 5,748 by rail overland.

The principal feature for the week lias been the renewal of the
demand and excitement in the coffee market and a material
advance in values, but aside from this business has continued in
a very dull and somewhat uncertain state, and on some of the
leading articles so little was done as to render prices almost
entirely nominal. Buyers and sellers generally have manifested
a most indifferent tone, confining operations to a basis of the
actual necessities of the hour, and whenever possible postponing
business until after the holidays. It may be noticett, however,
that owners of stocks express much confidence, and vrith few
exceptions everything is held for extreme Pgures. The slippery
condition of our streets for several days has checked the sale of
groceries, as it has been almost impossible for draymen to tiansport

Some purchases have been made, including a good
many parcels offered from tho stock of refiners who were anxloua to sell out
but the invoices were taken mainly because rates named were so exceedingly
low that it waa almost impossible to resist the temptation to secure the goods
against future wants. The demand, too, was not by any means general, only
one or two of our leading boilers taking any interest, with now and then a
slight call from grocers for retail lots
Domestic has met with a very fair
demand, with buyers in some cases anxious enough to secure invoices to
arrive, and receivers finding no great difficulty in keeping their consignments

Prices have ruled quite firm generally, and some of the tipper
grades commanded rather higher figures, though of late the feeling has again
become somewhat tame. Syrups of all kinds, have been quite dull and somewhat nominal, though buyers gained, during the'past month, an advantage of

has again been the ruling feature of onr wholaaola markat
daring the greater portion of the past week, and the entire position was at
imes somewhat nominal, neither buyer nor seller fcellne able to decide npon
^ positive value. As noted in our last, the trade do not feel like stocking up
nntll after the holidays, and with nothing to stimulate speculative move
ments. It is difflcnlt to find an outlet for goods. Holders naturally refrain
from any pressure to reallxa nnder these clrenmstanaaa, as such a conrao
woald be almost sure to bring about a decline, even though many of the
leading articles, according to recent advices, could not be Imported at current
rates.
From second bands a few retail parcels are going out, but the call is
not by any means quick, and, though pricaa are no lower, the tone la a little
aoft, and buyers can. In a quiet way, occasionally gain some little advantaga.

intFOKTATIONS OV DRY HOODS AT THE PORT OF
NEW TORK.
The importations of dry goods at this port for the week ending'
Dec. 31, 1871, and the corresponding weeks of 1870 and 1869
have been as follows
for interior distribution.
—
Foreign Goods. The market for imported fabrics is flat and
without new feature. The only demand for goods is to replenish
assortments for immediate sale to consumers, and the movements
are light in the aggregate. Some staple dress goods are selling
and are held at full prices. Linens have met a moderate inquiry
from package buyers in anticipation of their future wants, but
have not moved in large amounts during the week under review.
Foreign advices continue to denote much firmness in all of the
markets abroad, and the tendency of values generally seems to be
upward.
We annex a few particulars of leading articles of domestic
manufacture, our prices quoted being those of leading Jobbers
