CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The saks of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bales, including 4,000 American, 200 Pernam and Ma-
; ranhatn, 500 Surat, and 150 Sea Island. Of the above,
1,000 American were on speculation, and 500 Surat for
export. The market closed quietly, and prices were
wiihout alteration.—ln Railway Shares a fair business
was done at rather higher prices.
From official returns made up, it is found that Ireland
, has steadily increased her reliance upon foreign countries
I and colonies tor supplies of food, which she could her-
self so amply produce, and although her exports to
England must be taken into account as balancing them,
they have not proportionably increased. We may best
illustrate this by arranging the more voluminous statis-
tics before us into a condensed tabular form. First, we
take the total imports of grain, and of meal and flour,
Lr the y' ars rpi'cified, the grain being given in quartets,
and the flour in cwts.:—
IlLports. Exports.

1848, qrs. 1,216,952 ... 1,326 919
cwts. 195,480 1,496,814
As regards the quantities of grain and flour imported
into Ireland from Great Britain, they were:—ln 1839.
qrs. 119 899, and owts. 32,145 ; 1842, qrs. 105,176, and
owns. 52,813; 1845, qrs. 68,464, and cwts. 61,301; 1846,
qrs. 306,636, and cwts. 429,649; 1847, qrs. 1,001,355,
And cals. 1,678,092; 1848, qrs. 747,757, and cwts.
572.987 cwts.
Perhaps it may be interesting to refer to the progress
of emigration during the period above comprehended;
and although we take the number of steerage passengers
only, and distinguish Great Britain from Ireland, it is
notorious that nearly all the emigrants from Liverpool,
and they amounted to 131,000 last year, were Irish, con-
sequently we must add largely from the number under
the head of Great Britain to that distinguished as
Ireland—

Great Britain. Ireland.
1839 ... 48,672 ... ... 13,535
1842 ... 87,791 ... 40,553
1845 ... . . 64,674 ... ... 23,464
1846 ... 85.524 ... 38,408
1847 ... ... 156,515 ... ... 94,945
1848 ... 176,838 ... ... 58,893

We could desire that in former years the 'official sta-

tistics upon this and other heads had bean better kept,
but believe there is more inclination now to attend to
this point.

In. the Hamburgh market last Friday money was
abundant, the rate of exchange being 13.10 on London,
and with a good demand for bills on London. At Am-
sterdam, on the 25th instant, Spanish and Portuguese
Stocks were higher. In the Frankfort 13.)urse, on the
24th instant, Austrian Bonds were quoted 87, and at
Vienna on the 22d they were 944.
The feeling in reference to the influence of the low
value of money, which nevertheless is not quite so
cheap as one or two of our contemporaries have
stated, bids fair to run to an extravagant length unless
checked by a little judicious refection. On one side we
hear orwagers in favour of Consols being at par before
July next, then of a supposed determination of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to reduce the rate of in-
terest on Consols to 2 per cent., or, as some say, even to
14, and that the standard of gold, owing
to the influx from California, is to be re-
duced. Again, coffee, cotton, tallow, sugar, everything
in fact, is to rise materially, and there is even to be no
sugar left ere long (vide a tabular statement in the
Morning Post), while we can scarcely enumerate the
host of similar crotchets which beset the habitués of
our City subscription-rooms, as well as of the Ex-
changes. It will De readily conceded that to a certain
limit there may be truth in all these impressions, suppos-
ing, as mathematicians have it, that all other things remain
the same, that is supposing tranquillity is preserved, foreign
loans are tabooed, Californian gold steadily arrives, and
no new outlet is found for accumulating capital. It be-
hoves every one interested to be cool and calculating,
however much on the alert, for these are times when
excitement is in the ascendant, and the Bank of Eng-
land example is in all quarters cited as authority for
proceedings it never was intended to warrant.
The Funds have been exceedingly buoyant. Consols
opened at 954, touched 954, and are now 951 4 for
Transfer. Time bargains have been effected as high as
951 4. The New Three-and- a• Quarter per Cents. have
realised 944 to 95, and the Three per Cents. 944 to 4.
Bank Stock has risen to 199 and 200. Exchequer-bills
are lower, the revival of confidence promoting a transfer
from the floating to the fixed debt.

In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Bonds have
been 17i and the Three per Cents. 31 to Portu-
guese Four per Cents. have been 34i, and Brazilian 864.
Mexican have risen to 27 11, Grenada are 154, and
Buenos Ayres 44. Dutch Two•and-a-Half per Cents.
have been marked 544 to 55.
Railway Shares are all higher, and there is an in-
creased disposition to do business.
