MONEY MARKET. Sonvar, June 3—6 P.M. Daring the past week the money market has been more abundantly supplied with ospital than we bave noticed before this season. The desrease in demard may be the principal cause of the plethora, for the supply of money on the market is evidently increasing. The lowest rates of interest rule, and the difficulty of getting the right kind of business paper is becoming so grest that when obtained it is taken below the standard rate of interest. On call, five per cent is about the ruling rate. The banks will not show much change in their line of discounts in the next weekly statement, bat some four or five months, such fects regarding the position of this company have been developed ‘as have sati:fied capitalists on the other side that it is the best paying investment in this country. ‘The agent of a prominent London banking house has of his report. Independent of this special agent, tke bondholders have a permanent local agent in Philadelphia, whose sole business it is to ubtain facta and regularly report them. The company give him every facility for so doing, and his state- wents regardieg this year’s business have created considerably enquiry for the stock on foreign account. Other stocks have not been in very great demand during the week. Holders exhibit no dis position to sell, and speculators operate among themselves on time, buyer’s and seiler’s option. Of the really gcod securities there is very little cash stock offering, which seriously affocta the bears in their operations. The weather is all that can be desired for ebuxdant harvests, and the prospecte for an active fall trade are certainly more encouraging than we évor know before this season. The rain hes extended over a large tract of country, and re- moved all spprehensions of drought.

The present is a good time for consumerg to lay in their winter stock of coal. The days are long, and the weathor favorable forthe proper preparation of the coal, which is sent to market in much better condition than it usually is towards the close of the season, when the in- Creased activity in the market tends to hurry for- ward supplies, and the shortened. days and unpro- pitious weather prevent its preper preparation: ‘The retail price, too, is now one dollar per tom leas than it was last winter, and, as we are informed, not likely to be lower. The total receipts from the Shuylkill and Lehigh regions up to the Slet of May, this year and last, have been as follows: — By the Reading Railroad, tons...

Of this increase 136,784 tons was on the Reading Railroad, 61,717 tons on the Schuylkill Canal, and 52,792 tons on the Lehigh Canal. The shipments of coal from Richmond, the Reading Railroad depot, last week were larger than the receipts. Surpments oF beg roe Coat from Ricumonp, We understand that a serious break has oscurred in the Delaware and Hudson Canal; on “Ridgeway’s Level,” near the mouth of the Lackawaxen. The latest information is, that the break is 80 feet long at the bottom, and 100 at the top of the tow path. It is 13 feet in depth, and is washed out to the “berme”’ side of the canal. ‘The following shows the operations of the United States Mint, Poiladelphis, for the month of May, The business, it will bs seen, was qaite small.

Total number of pieces coined, 1,635 ,845- The gold coinsge was mainly in double eagles, and the allver very largely of quarter dollars. ‘The amount of duties on customs collected at the port of Boston forthe month of May was $577,- 430 95, against $657,146 91 for the same month last Sear, showing a decrease of $79,715 96. The Vermont and Massachusetts Railroad Com- pany earned, in the six months ending May 31, 1855, $128,423 sgainst $128,274 for the same timo the previous year. Although these figures show the small gain of enly $149, yet there has been a jconsiderable saving in the expenses, and a more favorable arrangement with connecting roads, so that it !s estimated that the net income will result fn a gain of at least $3,000, or $500 per month for the past six months.
