In general, increasing the money supply will decrease interest rates. Intrest rates reflect the amount paid for the use of money. As the money supply increases, money becomes relatively less scarce and easier to obtain. As with any other good as the supply increases, while demand remains constant, the price will fall. In this case the price of money is the interest rate.

Monetary Policy
The Federal Reserve (or Fed) increases the money supply by buying back outstanding U.S. Gov't Securities (bonds and such). By doing so, they are adding more currency into the economy, thus increasing the supply of money, or money supply. Conversely, the Fed can also lower the money supply. To do so, they simply sell U.S. Gov't Securities. This means that they sell bonds out and bring currency in, thus reducing the money supply.
An economic policy of enhancing growth, especially in exports will increase the money supply. This can be measured from recent economic history. The last thing, or shall I say an increase in taxes will de-stimulate the growth of the money supply. Another negative would be to increase the money supply by fiat, or in other words "printing it"
Milton Freedman probably is the best person to look up for this answer, and he has written much on this topic. Basically it is a monetary phenomina. Increases and decreases in the money supply create inflation or deflation. Think of the root form of this word, inflate, such as a balloon or a tire. Increasing the quantity of a price does not make sense, however rising prices due to increasing the quantity of money in the money supply does.
