COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, MAY 14.

The money market has been decidedly easier during
the last three days, much to the surprise of those who
were predicting a stringent market. Money on call has
been freely offered at 6 per cent. ; first-class short paper
has been discounted to good extent at 6 to 7 per cent.,
and four to six months' paper at 7 per cent. per annum
—in fact, choice four month's paper has been done at
65 per cent.' The demand for foreign exchange has not
been particularly active ; the bulk of the business on
London was at 1091. We quote London, 1095 to 110 ;
Paris, 5 125 to 5 15 ; Amsterdam, 401 to 41 ; Ham-
burgh, 365 to 361; Bremen, 795 to 791 ; Frankfort,
40Vto 41.

United States' stocks were in demand to-day, but as
there were but few offering, rates were firm. The mar-
ket for other descriptions closed with a firm tendency.
Cotton.L—The market has been steady as to price for
the past three days, with moderate sales and a rather
more general demand. The sales of the week are 11,300
bales.

at $3l to $33 ; other descriptions have been sold in
moderate quantity at prices in favour of the buyer.
