FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. TURSDAY, Nov. 7-6 P. M. There was a heavy market this morning, both in exont of transactions and in prices.

The market appears to have taken a downward arn since the complexion of the last bank statement scame known, but we do not see anything in these rearns calculated to produce a depression like that ralized. The amount of specie in hand shows on inrease in the face of large shipments, and the dividend epartment shows a moderate falling off in amount This ovement is certainly one of additional strength, and by means calculated to create additional apprehension lative to the future course of financial afairs. The fincipal cause of the low prices ruling for most of the ading fancy stocks is the absence of purchasers. There tually no buyers in the market, and there are very w sellers. Occasionally a bear will make his appearnee, and put out a few contracts and then retire. A all sometimes comes out and buys pretty freely, and en disappears. In this way the market is kept alive. few strong determined bears would depress prices soously, while on the other hand a few bulls would cause tite an inflation. The bears are afraid to put out long d large contracts at currentrates. and the bulls have t the means to enter the market as purchasers. There very little doubt but that many stocks on the list are eap at our quotations; but as no one has Tale capital, one troubles them, and they *** therefore much glected.
