THE MARKETS 
MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS. 
New York, Monday, Jan. 6, 1873. 
THE business of the Grst week of the New Year 
was made dull by the extrema bad weather. The 
Railroads, as well os tho Shipping interest, felt the 
Obstruction from the heavy snows, and trade gener¬ 
ally moved sluggishly. 
In Wall Street there was more animation In conse- 
quonce of tho collection of the New Year Dividends, 
the largo amount and great variety of which kept 
the Banks and Brokers very busy to Saturday after¬ 
noon. The Dividends paid out by the Treasury thus 
far amount to nearly ten million of dollars Jn Gold, 
and tho Gold Dividends on the various Pacific Roads 
amount to over two millions. Most of the Interest 
obligations of the New York and Western Roudi 
were promptly met. and a good part of the Southern 
although among the latter the State of Alabama Is 
again in default for -he Alabama and Chattauooga 
Road. 
Money should have been easy on the Dividend dis¬ 
bursements, but it was n t until late on Saturday 
and then only on call loan to the Brokers. The hope 
Is Indulged, however, that the Banks, which have 
already extended their loans over $3,000,000, will dis¬ 
count more freely this week. The absorbents of 
Money are more numerous this season than custom¬ 
ary of late years, or they at least appear to be so, 
especially among the Railroad corporations, and 
there Is less to accommodate them with. As here¬ 
tofore intimated, tho curroncyof tho country is un¬ 
equal to Its largely Increased trade and enterprises, 
and there begins to be an earnest call for Free 
Banking. 
The Gold market is rather lower--lit 74 per cent. 
Government Stocks are firm, both at home and 
abroad. The Southern State Bonds nrn neglected. 
Nearly tho whole arc in default on the January inter¬ 
est. Louisiana, ’Whl'cli has paid at Now Orleans for 
several years, puys nowhere this month, which I 
not to bo wondered at, considering the political con¬ 
fusion in the State. 
Tho Railroad and Miscellaneous Share speculation 
at the Stock Exchange, notwithstanding the dear¬ 
ness of Money, is kept up surprisingly, mainly by 
clique tnaolpulailons. In the hope of cheaper and 
easier Money as wo advance In the Now Year 
Tho City Bank movement for the fortnight coin¬ 
pores as follows: 
ever, a good quantity of apples and cranberries In the 
hands of consumers.

four of this result, however, us there is no great sup¬

steady trade while the season admits it. With pres¬
