(From the Rio Mercantile Journal of June 9.)

" The transactions of the month of May were' to a
moderate extent. Produce active until late in the month,
when the intelligence of the renewal of hostilities between
Denmark and Germany led to a suspension of business,
and little was subsequently done.
For imports there was a partial inquiry, principally for
re-exports, but an immense influx of merchandise from
the 16th to 29th increased the previously existing apathy,
and except of perishable articles, the sales have since
been unimportant. We regret to announce the stoppage
of the house of James Birekhead ; the announcement
created considerable sensation upon Change.
The importation of piece goods was in advance of that
of any previous month since September last. We can.
not report any improvement in this branch of trade.
MONEY MARKET.—Discounts freely obtained at 7
per Cent. until nearly the close of May, when money
was somewhat lighter. Exchange upon London, 25id.
Stock 87k to 87. On May 22d it became known that
the Treasury had sold 2,500,000 rix dollars at the extra-
ordinary price of 87 ex dividend; the market became
firmer at 88} to 89.
The customs and consulado showed an increase in the
revenue upom May, 1848, of 14i per cent.
COFFEE.—Limited supplies and very high prices, early
in the month, impeded business, and little was done but
from 8 to 18, considerable activity prevailed both for
the United States and for Europe, and in the interval
more than 60,000 bags were sold, generally at the highest
prices paid. After the arrival of the Linnet scarcely
any sales were effected, and quotations became per-
fectly nominal, whilst the latest advices from the United
States were far less encouraging that those previously
received.
