Bonds and stocks.

--For several days past the stock market has been dull, public attention being absorbed by the military operations near Fredericksburg. Prices have undergone no change. --Confederate bonds (100 M's) are selling at par and interest. The action of the Legislatures of several States guaranteeing their respective quotas of the Confederate war debt, will strengthen the confidence in these bonds, and lead to an increased demand. We quote Virginia registered bonds at 108, flat; North Carolina sixes, old issue, 134@135 ½; eights, 120 and interest. Railroad bonds and stock, Insurance, and Bank stocks generally unchanged — transactions small.

Gold and Bank Notes.--The business has been very light for several days. We quote gold, as before, at $90 to $2.25 premium — buying and selling rates; Virginia and North Carolina bank notes, 27½@35; South Carolina and Georgia do., 30@35.

Real Estate.--There have been no important sales of real estate in the city for ten days, and until the new year ‘"sets in"’ operations in this description of property will continue light.
