CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday there
was no change. Sales, 4,000 to 5,000 bales. American
realised 3id. to 6d. per lb. A fair business was done in
Railway Shares, but without any improvement in prices.
The Washington steamer brings accounts of only one
dliy's later date from New York. The last cotton crop
will, with the exception of two years, be the
largest ever known, and we are informed that
the per cent. increase in shipments to all foreign ports,
but those of France, was large, in the year ending the
Ist September, while to France it was limited. This is
attributed almost entirely to the prostration of the ma-
nufacturing interest by the political revolution of Fe-
bruary last. It is hardly probable that the aggregate
shipments of cotton from the United States, for the
Year 1848, would have been much larger had prices
ruled higher, as the stock on hand in all the ports, at
the close of the year, was small compared to that of the
previous year; but the aggregate value would have been
much larger. When we take into consideration the im-
mune increase in value a small advance is price for this
staple produces, we can form some idea of what the
value of the last crop would have been at prices current
the year previous. According to estimates made, it up-
Pears that the whole crop of 1546 and 1847 was rallied

tna„ crop o.
at about four millions of dollars more than the long
crop of 1847 and 1848 ; or, in other words, that the in-
Crease of 568,983 bales in the crop of the past year, has
not only been sunk, lost, but the value of the same quan-
tity, as produced last year, has depreciated more than
four millions of dollarF. This shows that large crops
are by no means the most profitable. As an illustra-
tion of this, take the large crops of 1842 and 1844,
amounting to 4,773,500 bales, which, at six cents. per lb.,
make an aggregate value of 121,713,750 dollars, while
the medium crop of 1843, and the abort crop of 1846,
amounting to only 3,809,100 bales, which sold at eight
and ten rents. per pound, made an aggregate value of
144,627,500 dollars, being a decrease of 964,400 bales
in quantity, and an increase of 22,913,750 dollars in
value.
The mercantile letters by the Medway steamer all
Eire an unfavourable account of the prospects of the
colonies, and represent the feeling among the planters
and traders generally as being scarcely of a nature to
allow of their making much head. They are disheartened,
and are deprived of the pecuniary support hitherto
received from home. It would not surprise us, in this
novel state of affairs, to find the attorneys and sub-
Managers, who are the true working men, become pro-
prietors; and we have no doubt but that if the existing
Mortgagees think ao badly of the estates that they will
abandon further right and title thereto, the managers
could successfully cultivate them upon a plan of co-
operation with the labourers, who begin to comprehend
the critical position in which they will be placed by
nything like a general abandonment of estates.
41ke union of intelligence, free labour, and a
,811 a, ail capital, directed by a personally interested in-
utridual, ought surely to bring about renewed prosperity.
The colonial produce markets this week have been
rather active for many articles of consumption, but
there has been less doing in staples used for manufsc-
!tiring purposes. The large Indigo sales will
°Legin next week. A broker of eminence informs us
that the business done in spelter during last month has
per
small, and the price has declined to about 14,1.
rher ton, at which, however, there is little inquiry, but
Ce near approach of winter, and therewith the discon-
4nence of further supplies from the Continent, renders
reduction
extremely firm, and not disposed to any further
:doction in price. The stock in London has scarcely
'inried from last month (the demand for export and
t Cil'lnption being met by the imports), and was on the
.St instant 2,880 tons. The inquiry for Welch bars
slid iron rails continues extremely limited, but prices
of° unaltered. In Staffordshire the makers are full
orders, and the question of a rise in price
has the subject of discussion at the recent quarterly
Stings; the result was a determination to abide by
Vent rates, but a slight advance thereon is needful to
tlee some makers to take orders. In the Scotch Pig
latter°4Mark there has not been much doing during the
ei Part of the month; the price is a shade lower, say
17. for 3-5 No. 1 and 2.5 No. 3, and 455. for all No. 1
Cot_ Cash, shipped free on board at Glasgow; makers are,
Se Rover, firm at rather higher rates, and not anxious
tieters, while little progress has been made towards the
_oreulation of stock at Glasgow, which has not been
4,1411 for several years.
114,`hie dividend payments have not yet attracted a large
~'"or of persons to the Bank of England, and the
