ai--The New York Herald of this morning saws.
''The supply of money available Tor use on
the Stock Exchange is in excess of the demand
at per cent, but there are very few exceptions
at 8, and them only on Governments. In the
discount line frst-cass commercial paper is id
demand at 7@74 per cent, with a more eager
disposition on the part of lenders to employ
capital in this way. The second grade is quoted
at 8Q19 but inferior signatures are out of favor,

to-day, following upon the Rochester Bank, aud
other recent failures, is not calculated to im4

One OF our nelghbors, we notice, attributes the
| ease in money to the "stagnation" in trade. He
evidently wrote without looking inCo the trade
figures of the week past, and without under
standing that business IN both foreign and do
mestic merchandise has not been so active in all
this spring as at present. nor the EXPORT trade so
