MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLUCK
The sales cf Cotton at Liverpool yesurday were esti-
mated at 12,000 bales, of which 1;000 American were
taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The market
was very active at advanced prices; Surat and American
were id. higher. The sales comprised about 10,750
American. 70 Pernana and Nlaranham at 6id , 200 ffihia
at 61,1., 500 Egyptian at 6:1. to 11d., and 500 Surat at
to 4id. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull at lower
prices. _ _ _

Tee Indigo sales to-day have gone rather heavily.
Upon the prospects of the Currant crop in Greece we
Lave the following particulars from Measri. Witherby
and Hanson:—

"Currants, almost the only article in the colonial
market which had not participated in the late general
reaction, have at length taken a start, and during the
last three weeks have outstripped all other commodities
in heir sudden augmentaiiun of value. This has re-
sulted from intelligence of the crop, both in the Morea
and the lonie,n 'blends, having been attacked by a
disease of a novel and so destructive a character as to
cause serious apprehensions as to the fate of the grow-
ing crop—a disease akin to that which exhibited itself
last year in ee her countries, and is now committing
ravages in the vineyards of Sicily, Naples, and
Northern Italy. As on the issue of the Currant
crop depends not only the well-being of a large commu-
nity, but else much of the revenue of the Greek Go-
vernment, this fresh calamity so soon following the rain-
damaged crop of 1850 and the losses from the low prices
of the present season, cannot but excite a feeling of
sympathy. The accounts from the places of growth
nearly all concur in the opinion that over half of the
entire crop of the Morea and Lilian Islands will have
been lost. It must not be concealed, moreover, that, es
this season will undoubtedly be a late one, there mey
. be a recurrence of the rain-damage of 1850, and this
appreheesion is now giving a fresh stimulus to Currants
en the continent, aud driving up prices above the level
of our own."
There aro accounts from Vienna which give the
Austrian revenue during 1851 at 223,252,038 florins,
and the expenditure at 278,420,470 florins.
The Stock Markets abroad were very steady at the
latest date.
The proprietors of the Commercial Bank of London,
at their meeting this morning, have received a very
favourable report. The }'ear's profits are stated at
20081. up to the 30th ult., and a dividend at the rate
of 6 per cent. per annum, with a bonus of Bs. per share,
free of income-tax, was declared, leaving 3,0431. to be '
added to the reserve fund.
The English Funds aro very depressed again, and
business is chiefly for actual transfer, speculation con-
tinuing inert. Consols have been 104 to 100 i for
Transfer, and 100;1 for Account. The New Three-and-
a Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 1044 to 1051;
and the Three per Cents. 100 i to 101 k, a decline in
each instance. Bank Stock is still rising, having
touched 2301 and 232. East India Stock is at 285 to
286. Exchequer-bills of March are 76e. to 795. pre-
mium, and India Bonds 91s. premium.
Foreign Securities have been very dull, and there is a
want of buoyancy in the quotations. Mexican Stock
has been at 25k, Grenada at, 211, and Brazilian at 101 i.
Spanish Bonds have realised 82 to 83. Peruvian De.
forted keep steady at 63. Spanish New Deferred Bonds
are 22. Russian Old Stock is at 120. Sardinian Bends
are at 94k. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, bring 63a
The following letter his la.eu sent by the Committee'
of Spanish Bounholders to our Ambassador at Madrid:—
" To the Right Hun. Lord Huseden, K.C.B' ,
" My Lord,—At a meeting of the committee held this
day, which was summoned iu consequence of youi Lai d-
ship being in London, I was dire cted to write to your
Lordship, to express the high sense they entertain or the
most efficient services rendered by your Lordship to the
bondholders in the late negotiation with the Spanish
Government, for a settlement of their claims. The
committee are quite aware that all the success
your Lordship desired, and most certainly
deserved, did not attend the great exertions
your Lordship made on their behalf ; nevertheless
the committee and their constituents, the bondholders,
can never suffieitntly appreciate the zeal with which
your Lordship applied yourself to enforce a due sense of
their rights.
" The committee wish me to ascertain from your
Lordship whether it would be agreeable to receive a
deputation from them, to express verbally to your
Lordship their gratitude fur the past services your Lord-
ship has rendered to the bondholders, and also to re-
quest, if opportunity offer, your further aid may be
given to any endeavour which may be made to obtain a
recognition of the certificates issued by the various com-
mittees for the portions of arrears of dividends not
funded by the Spanish Government.
"I have the honour to be, my Lord,
"dour Lord.ship's most obedient humble servant,
" J. S. COLLETT, Secretary."
Lord Efowden'a reply is as follows: •
" Hereford-street, July 25, 1852.
" come to-day to London, I had the
honour of finding your most kind letter. The circum-
stance of my not having been in town, will excuse me
for not having instantly answered it.
"I feel greatly flattered, and accordingly pleased
at the
expression of :regard contained in the communication
which I am now answering, but I feel that any
I have been happy enough to make in the Cause of exertionsthe
bondholders hal e been greatly overpaid by their d -
nese already un inifested to me, in various ways and
different occasions. I, therefore, gratefully and „
trouble of
re-
spectfully declin, giving any gentleman thtero
calling upon ne e, though at the same i
glad to avail myself of this opportunitytafm• faithfully
thatbindit m
myself to a continuance of every endeavour
shall ever be in .my power to make in favour of the
much ill-used hot ly of Spanish
M bondholders_, and the
may depend upoil sat all times as their willing and
anxious supporter'.
