`MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000
were taken for export and on speculation. The
market was steady, and closed without alteration
in prices. Railway Shares were steady, and prices
had an upward tendency.
The following particulars regarding the foreign
currant trade are at the present moment of great
Interest. They are supplied by Messrs. Witherby
and Hanson
"The market has, within the last few days, under-
gone an entire change in character, in aspect, and in
price. The operations since the 9th inst., when the
reaction set in, have been of unusual magnitude ; the
Prii_ncipal purchasers have been, and still are, the
\v"°lesale grocers, and the result has been a
Positive advance of 15s. to 20s. per cwt. upon the
Prices quoted by us on the Bth inst. for old fruit, and
ni 4s. to 58. per cwt. on new. On the 10th inst. 80s.

tatter price having been paid, it is supposed, for Aus-
ralia• About 20 tons of same description were taken
Yesterday for consumption at 905., and there appears to
61e little or no Fruit now to be below 735. and

"Luich occurred last July on the first receipt of unfavour-
able news of the 1852 crop. It then emanated solely
,erri the Continent ; the purchases then made were ex-
clusively on foreign account. Dealers did not credit the
tn°rts, and, being tolerably well supplied with the ar-
ticle, held back, hoping that the advance would be
;necked by better accounts from neighbouring markets.
heY now find themselves quite without stock, and are
COnipelled to come forward to supply the immediate
twlants of consumers, wants which are augmented by
the' backwardness of the season, and the scarcity of
green fruits, which ordinarily check the use of
,V,ed fruits during the summer months. The ra-
TitY with which currants are being cleared off fram
the warehouses in some degree confirms this opinion. Our
ate forebodings respecting the new crop will, we regret
t° Say, be fully realised, for the advices come worse and
Worse week after week. The difficulties which we prog-
nosticated in our last report as likely to attend the
acquisition of fine currants for the autumnal demand, have

Period then pointed at."
The statement of the Bank of England for the
Week, to the 18th inst., gives a further con-
Inderable increase in the bullion, and a great falling
off in the circulation of notes. The Government
balance increased, but the total is not so large as
It Should be at this season. As to the discount
business, it continued to fall off. Compared with
the
previous week, the changes as follows :

Siderable alarm prevailed in the neighbourhood of

iTackney Church, in consequence of a report that a
i °llse had fallen down and that some men were buried

i°a'd was found covered with brick, and at the same
~,s°le some labourers were employed in removing another

ifellew-workmen, of the names of Wm. Haines and
In Turner. After considerable exertions, they were
ittScovere, when they were immedialy attended to by
Garratt and Mr. Wright. surgeontes. Upon making

(s-e'ved, it was found that Haines was suffering from a
i,cl.°lpound fracture of the right leg ; and that Turner's
gh bone was fractured near the hip. They were both

German hospital. There are hopes of the recovery of
Haines, but the other man lies in a dangerous state.
