MONEY AND STOCK MARKET. 
New York, Dec. 17.1809. 
THE mouoy market is easy, with money ut from 
seven per cent, currency to seven per cent. coin. 
There fs no essential change in Government, bonds 
since our last quotations. Stocks are a little higher. 
Gold struck 130% at half-past two to-duv— a point 
lower than lu»* been reached since 1802. The pros, 
pect that *30,000,000 of gold will be thrown upon the 
market at the Hrat of tho month seems to be slowly 
reducing the price, and lower figures will probably 
be reached next week.

among assorted and outside Items.

mediums or marrows are nardly obtainable. A navy 
order has been tilled with marrows, which is a how 
feature, as smaller beans have been required here¬ 
tofore. Beeswax is dull amt weak. Broom corn very 
firm. Butter exhibits no encouraging aspect in either
