CORN.

LIVERPOOL, Auo. 17.—The wheat trade to-day is decidedly
improved in tone and firmness as compared with the markets
recently reported ; we had not many millers in attendance, nor
were the transactions at all important, but the rates of Tuesday
have been well preserved, and some descriptions, which were pre-
viously much depressed, have recovered their relative value. In
flout nn equally improved steadiness is observable ; sales of
Spanish were made as low as 56s in the interval since Tuesday,
but there are now no sellers under 57s per sack. In barley, beans,
and peas, we have no variation to note. In oats we have a steady
demand at previous rates ; some new Irish tawneys, of fair
quality, brought 3s lld to 4s per 45Ibs.—Oatmeal without change.
The Irish demand for Indian corn is very limited, yellow and
mixed are offered without effect fid per quarter lower, and some
parcels to arrive at a still greater reduction ; the market is bare
of white, which is wated.

MANCHESTER, Auo. 16.—Our market ruled dull again to-day,
and wheat was 3d per bushel cheaper. Flour was Is per sack
lower, and in limited demr.nd. Oats and oatmeal brought fully
as much money. and good English beans being scarce, were quite
as dear. Other articles about the same as last 'week.

PRESTON, AtTo. 18.—There was a poor show of English wheat
at market this morning, but the demand ruled dull at Gd to is
per windle below the last currency, and parcels in granary were
offered ineffectually at an abatement of 2d per bushel. Hour in
limited request at a farther decline of Is per pack. Oats as before.
Oatmeal rather cheaper, without any improvment in the demand.
Other articles the turn lower.

WAKEFIELD, Auo. 17.—The wheat trade was slow, but fresh
qualities brought last week's prices, the quantity on offer being
limited. Barley met a better inquiry at full rates. Beans, oats,
and shelling were steady at late prices.
WISBECII, Arc. 18.—The market here to•day is firm for
wheat, and the supply has been most of it sold at last week's
prices. Scarcely any other grain offering. The weather is now
remarkably fine, and harvest in this district will generally be com-
menced in a few days.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Auo. 18.—To-day there was a
very small show of home grown wheat, which was taken off on
much the same terms as Saturday last. In south country and
foreign almost no transactions have taken place. A small parcel
of extra fine Norfolk brought 7ss, but to sell freely rather less
money would have to be taken. Very little demand for either
barley, beans, or peas, and prices without alteration. .There was
a small supply of farmers' oats, which met a fair sale at last
week's prices.
CORK ATI°. 18.—The flour :market this week has been ex-
tremely depressed, and no sales effected beyond the requirements
for immediate use—bakers expecting lower prices. The consump-
tive demand for breadstuffi has considerably fallen off, owing to
the abundant supply-of potatoes to market; and splendid harvest"
weather has likewise contributed to the duleess noted. The wheat
market is at a stand still, but Indian corn must be quoted 55 per
ton less, with little inquiry.

DUBLIN, AUG. 17.—We have had glorious weather for the
harvest. At our Corn Exchange to-day business was entirely con-
fined to the supply of immediate wants, and we note no change
in the currencies of Tuesday, except for Indian corn, which must
be quoted Is to 28 lower. There were a few samples of new oats,
bare, and rape ; th•: two first sold at 15s to 16s, the last at 36s to 40s.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS....
This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of
modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind; for during the
first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure for
the Gout was considered a romance ; but now, the efficacy and
safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated by unsolicited
testimonials from persons in every rank of life, that public
opinion proclaims BLAIR'S PILLS as one of the most important
discoveries of the present age; and in testimony of its efficacy,
Jortor J. GILES, Esq., of Frimley, near Bagshot, says Having
suffered much from acute Rheumatism, I was induced to try your
Blair's Pills, and beg to: ear my testimony to their efficacy."
'
Mr. WILLIAM COURTNEY, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says :
"Having suffered much from Gout, I had resort to Blair's Pills,
and within two hours-I was quite easy. The use- ot these Pills
ought really to be known all over the world."
Mr. W. TAYLOR, bookseller, Warminster, Wilts, writes :

writes :—" Whenever I feel any symptoms of Gout approaching,
1 have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valua-
ble that, were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should
certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I
rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suffered; but
on the contrary, I believe the tendency of Blair's Pills is towards
its improvement."
These Pills require neither attention nor confinement, and are
certain to prevent the disease attacking any vital part ; and in
consequence of the groat and increasing demand for this useful
Medicine, the Proprietor has obtained permission from Her Ma-
esty's Commissioners of Stamps to have the name and address of
"THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London," impressed upon the
Government Stamp, affixed to each Box of the Genuine Medicine
