THE CORN TRADE.

MAIM LAIR, Friday. The supply of Eng-
lish grain was very limited, but there were
tolerably good imports of foreign articles of
the trade. Fine English wheat commanded Monday's
quotations, with • steady sale. Foreign was in retail
demand, and there was no variation in the value el any
description. Town flour was unaltered. Fresh country
marks brought fall priees, and the best brands of
American were quite as dear. Sweet grinding barley
supported prices with a fair sale. Choioe malt realised
quite as high !thee. Bums were steady in value and
demand. l'em met a fair inquiry, on former terms.
There was a moderate extent of business transacted in
oats, it quite as much money for all good corn.
Linseed said rapeseed were firm and dear.
Belem, Thursday, A ugust ith. The wheat
harvest has partially commenced in this neighbourhood,
and with fine weather would be general next week ; an
- iwinfayourable change, however, has taken place within
• thislast twenty four hews, heavy rains having fallen,
ncosempanied by strong gales of wind. The reports of
• •Ithit weps in this district are far from satisfactory, in
"Many parts the yield will be moth below an average,
and more or less deficiency is generally apprehended.
The early barleys promise badly, but the late sown
corn is spoken well AA • oats look fairly healthy.
At our market to-day English wheat was in short
supply and sold at last week's prices. More inquiry for
foreign, at tally former values. Barley very quiet. A
fair demand for oats, but last week's (prices could not
be exeeeded. Beane rather dearer.
L/VIRPOOL, Bth. The arrivals from Ireland and
insistings sines this day week have been almost nil.
At this day's market there was a fair attendiume of
the town and country trade ; however, rather less
disposition to buy was evinced than was expected with
such wet weather. Wheat was in moderate demand,
at the full prices of ' Tuesdayi for fine qualities, and
rather more money for ordinary runs of American
spring. Flour was in fair request, and brought very
laß Prices. Oats were the turn dearer, but oatmeal
,t ' tined as last quoted. Barley was scarce and in
..,
of sellers, but beans and peas were slightly
, to hay. Indian corn was again in favour,
' mixed American was readily saleable at 295. eal. per
In store. _ _ _ _ . _

. ' WA11171.111,13. Bth.—We had very fine weather in the
early part of the week, but it is now unsettled, and
yieterthi heavy rain fell. The wheat trade is Arm to-
day; of fresh red there is a poor show, and, in come-
kar it makes rather higher prices; other sorts meet
vs-• • •-• attention, and their value is unaltered.
