London, July 2.-There has been
more activity displayed by the dealers
in the Foreign than in the English
Stock Market to-day. Spanish Bonds
opened at %, but declined to 81 So; at
this reduction some purchases were
made, not so much under the hope that
sooner or later the Bonds will be recog-
nized, although not perhaps during the
existence Of the present Government
of Spain, but that it would be the re-
suit of the reinforcement Of Ferdinand
II reliance is to be placed on the latest
private letters received from Madrid,
the King has been threatened with i'm
mediate extirpation by all the Sover-
eigns Of the Holy Alliance, should he
venture to accede &c any proposals
from England for acknowledging his
just debts.
A new South America Mining Com
pany was brought out to-day, called
the Guanaxuato Association; the shares
underwent extraordinary fluctuations,
having been sold at 81. and lol premi-
UNI per share, in the space OF one hour
only. In the course of the afternoon,
the Shares receded TO the first quota
ton at which they were sold in the
morning.
A letter from our Correspondent at
St. Thomas, dated July 26, states that
the market was oyerstocked with A.
merican produce, and prices very low
Flour S5a TO S54. and other articles
proportionably low, except lumber,
which is scarce and in demand.
