CORN.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 31.—with a very limited attendance at
market to-day, the trade in wheat of any description has ruled
exceedingly dull, w.th an inclination on the part of most holders
to accept a decline of 3d to 4d per bushel, at which, however, only
a moderate business has resulted, and to effect sales in more than
retail quantity a larger concession would have been necessary.—
Flour may also be quoted Is to 2s per sack lower, and the busi-
ness trifling in extent. Egyptian Beans from the ship are
offered is per qr. cheaper, without inducing buyers to any great
amount. Barley nominally unaltered. All kinds of old oats are
rather dear, and of finest quality for export are very scarce;
prices of new are steady, upon a small supply. Oatmeal un-
changed. Indian corn Is. per qr. under Tuesday's rates, at
which little has been done in mixed or yellow; there are buyers
in quantity at a further depression of Is per qr., but business not
yet practicable ; a parcel of fine white American retailed at 475.

MANCHESTER, Auu. 30.—The weather having become fine
we had a very dull market to-day. Wheat may be quoted 4d to
6d per bushel, and flour 23 to 3s per sack dearer than on this day
se'nnight ; both articles, however, were decidedly easier to buy
than they were in the earlier part of the week. Oats were exceed-
ingl v scarce, and 2d per bushel higher. Oatmeal was also 6d to
Is per load, beans la per quarter, barley Settler bushel, malt 2a
per load, and Indian corn Is to 2s per quarter dearer.

PRESTON, SEPT. I.—There was a fair supply of old wheat at
market this morning, but the dealers acted cautiously and would
not pay the high rates asked, so that a clearance could not be
effected beyond 6d per windle above the currency of this day
se'nnight. A sample or two of new appeared, of fair quality and
in moderate condition, the best red fetched 36s per windle, and
white 36s 6d, equal to 78s 6d and 795 6d per quarter respectively.
Parcels in granary in slow request, but held for a little more
money. Flour Is per pack higher. Oats unaltered. o..t.nril in
fair demand at an improvement of 6d per load. Other articles
the turn dearer.

WAKEFIELD, Au°. 31.—Wheat was Is to 25 per quarter higher
than last Friday, but with a slow trade, owing to the tin,. weather.
Beans were Is dearer. Barley was fully as high. In oats and
shelling there was no change.
WISBECH, SEPT. I.—Our market is thinly attended, and but
little business done. A few samples of new wheat offering,
quality various, weighing from 61 to 621bs, and one or two parcels
reached 631bs. per bushel. It is believed that the yield of wheat
will prove below an average. Old wheat Is dearer. New red
made from 74s to 765, 61 to 621bs. White 80s to 84s, 631bs.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. I.—To-day there was a fair
supply from the farmers, considering the late period of the year.
Fine fresh English wheats are becoming very .scarce; but owing
to the favourable state of the weather, and quieter tone of other
markets. there was not so much animation in the trade to-day,
besides, millers bought freely in the beginning of the week; but
there is great firmness on the part of holders, so that buyers were
compelled to pay the recent advance; the best qualities must,
therefore, be quoted Is. per qr. dearer than on this day se'nnight,
and other descriptions sold at the extreme rates of that day.
Barley' scarce and rather higher. Stocks of oats here are
reduced into a very narrow compass, and few being expected,
holders were enabled to realize an advance of 6d. to Is. per qr.
For flour there is more enquiry, but no further improvement in
value can be quoted.
CORK, SEPT. I.—The alarming weather of last Monday has
been succeeded by hot sunny days, and great progress is making
in harvest work. It is too soon to form a correct estimate of
yield, but the more general view taken is hopeful. A lively busi-
ness passed in wheats, flour, and Indian corn this week, checked
by the advance demanded, and on which holders and dealers now
stand inactive.

DUBLIN, Atm. 31.—A very dull market to-day for old grain,
without alteration in prices. The new corn moved off rather
slowly at about the currencies of Tuesday, except wheat, which
in some instances lost the advance of that day. In Indian corn
nothing at all doing.
