In Congress, on the 25th, the Senate resumed the

was alleged, had been elicited to sustain the

charges.

mon Church by young Joe Smith had reached

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, MAY 25, EVENING, 6 P.M.

The money-market remains in the same dull, in•
animate condition. There is a marked scarcity of
paper. Many acceptances would go readily at 41
per cent. if they could be had. Business is not
active ; merchants have more money and need less
accommodation than usual. If our trade were as
actively proportionate as that of England, money
would be worth 7 to 8 per cent. on short paper.
There has been a moderate business done in foreign
exchange to-day for the Fulton. The current rate
for bankers' bills ranges from 109?, to some un-
doubted bills being in the market at a ; for francs
5.131 to 124 are asked. The supply of commercial
bills is very limited, and bankers are somewhat
embarrassed to cover their exchange. The Ful-
ton takes about 1,000,000 dols. in specie for France
and England, about 100,000 dols. of which will be
silver.

The market was stronger to-day, and nearly
every stock on the list higher, closing firm, at—
Virginia Sixes, 921 to 93 ; Missouri Sixes, 841 to
84+ ; Canton, 21 to 21+ ; Pacific Mail, 891 to 90 ;
New York Central, 82,4 to 821; Erie, 22 to 22'-.4 ;
Hudson River, 49+ to 50 ; Harlem, 13+ to 131;
ditto Preferred, 41+ to 411; Reading, 42+ to 42+ ;
Michigan Central, 53 to 531; ditto Southern and
Northern Indiana, 12 to 121 ; ditto Guaranteed,
241 to 251 ; Panama, 1341 to 136 ; Illinois Central,
641 to 64+ ; Galena and Chicago, 65 to 65+
Cleveland and Toledo, 31 to 31+++; Chicago and
Rock Island, 70+ to 70+.

The cotton market steady. Sales embraced 600
to 800 bales.

Flour opened with more appearance of firm-
ness, but large receipts, especially for State and
western, prevented an advance, and the market
closed at former quotations.

Wheat firm ; sales to a fair extent, including
parcels for export.
Corn was heavy, and lower for some descriptions
Pork was firmer, with rather mire doing.
Sugars firm and active, with sales of 1,900 hhds.
60 boxes, and 210 hhds.
Melado coffee unchanged, sales moderate.

Freights firm, and room rather scarce. Grain to
Liverpool,lin bulk and bags was taken at Bd. to 81d.
