Excess of Imports over receipts 21,617,074 22,992,155 22,633,796
This is a most extraordinary statement ; it shows a
balance in 1847 and 1848, varying but 358,359 dollars
from each other, after the opposite movements in specie,
each year, to such an extent. So far as this point is
concerned, the balance is pretty uniform, but we cannot
say as much of the foreign trade of the country at large,
for the same period. There are so many influences
brought to bear upon the imports and exports of the
country, that it is nonsense to attempt to attribute the
fluctuations from year to year solely to any particular
measure of the Government, or to any movement in the
markets.
Scarcely any business has been transacted in the Eng-
lish Funds to-day, but the market still remains de-
pressed, owing to the accounts received from Ireland,
coupled with the alarm occasioned by the progress of the
potato disease. Consols are now quoted at 854 to 8618
for Money, and at 858 to 861 for the Account. Exche-
quer-bills remain steadily :maintained at 425. to 465.
premium; Bank Stock is marked 1991 to 198; Three
per Cents. Reduced 86 to it; and Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. 861 to and 87.
The chief characteristic of the Foreign Stock Market
is the extremelinactivity of business, and prices have not
in any one instance undergone any remarkable change.
Even the best of the dividend-paying securities are al-
most altogether neglected. Mexican may be quoted 17
to ; Spanish Actives, nominally, llf to 12 ; and the
Three per Cents. 21- ; Venezuela, 14 to 17 ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 44 ; Portuguese Four per
Cents., 18 ; and Russian, 98 to 100.
In Railway Shares much dulness prevails, the late.
rapid reaction in the value of Consols having again
turned the current of operations in this market from
purchases to sales. The orders from the provinces have
since Monday last mostly affected quotations. North
Western are 121 to 126; South Western. 46 to 48;
Midland Counties, 101 to 103; York and North Mid-
land, 66 to 68.
