setiviaand the afternoon booming fine, the demand subsided:
Prevented by easterly wind' during the greater part of the
week, we kayo scarcely any arrivals of grain to report, be•
pond 2,835 qutrtcrs of Wheat from abroad ; and the stocks
generally iu the granaries of this place being comparatively
light, a limited airplay only of samples was exhibited at our
Corn Exchange to day; but although the market was
tolerably well attended ay English, and several Irish buyers
appeared, the great improvement in the weather this morn-
ing gave a decided check to further extensive operations for
the moment ; in free Wheats, however, sales upon a moder
ate scale were effected at an advance of 2d., and those in band
were 3d. par 701 b. dearer, s.veral parcls of which were
bought for Irelaud.-Irieh and American Flour, though
not in lively request, realised Is. per seek and Is.
per barrel over Tuesday's rates. Barley, being more
saleable, was held on rather higher terms, and
Malt steadily maintained late prices. Beans and Peas,
meeting a fair demand, improved ls. per qr.
Oats commanded Id. per 41ilbs., and Oatmeal 6d. per e
load,
above oar last quotations, at which both attracted a tolerable
share of attention. The demand for Indian Corn for oen-
samption having materially abated, the traneacticms in this
article to-day were principally limited to speculative pur-
chasers, who b night much less freely than yesterday, at 3s.
per qr. over the annexed currency. Indian Ideal in fair re-
quest, at au advance of Is. per barrel. Duty on foreign
Wheat is redu-el to Si. per qr., and on Flour to 45. Old.
per barrel. ArTIV2III from the 15th to the 17th August, in-
clusive. into Livetpool : -Wheat, 2,811 qrs.; Barky, 10

qr. In !1:::^y little doing. Oats sell freely at Id. per etcne
advance. Ittflicrs are unwilling to sell flour at previous
prices, an 1 the dealers are equally unwilling to give. any ad-
vance. The eeceunts in this neighbeurhoed of the disease in
potatoes come iecreasingly more unfavourable. The late
crops exhibit unmistakable symptoms of decay. Wheat,

last week's terms. The sample loads put down were fewer
than usual, bus the demand good, the wetness of the wea-
ther Mewing sales. Ten samples of new 'iS were

yield geed. Old Wheat, per load, 144 quarts, front 3.55. to

limited; the demand brisk, and, riewithstandiest the stormy
weather, a good attendance, reaay sales being completed at
enhanced quotations of from fel. to Is. per bushel for samples
of top sort; of NV hest. In the Wheat trade there have been,
since last market, two limited importations of Scotch Wheat.
In Barley If °thing can be reported, and Oats the same. The
currency was quoted at 245. 6d. for really superior qualities
of When.; 215.61. for inferior kiwis. Barley remained at
Its. fad. to 12s. fed. per bushel. Oats selling at Bs. 61. to 9s.

condary kinds, Is. There seas one sample el new Wheat
shriven to-dsy, the first here this season ; good in quality, but
soft. It f‘ cares( cl that the crop will yield eighteen Cum-
berland bushels per acres, a quantity which is meet sur-
prising, and formed the general topic of remark throughout
the market. The sample alluded to sold for 20s. per bushel.

HOPS.—WoncEsTER, August 18.—The unsettled
state of the weather up to yesterday hat very much retarded
the progress of the Hop plantations ; and, unless it is in some
early warm grounds, the plant has been quite at a stand-still.

come mere favourable, which there is an appearauce of
this morning, it may he realized. The market is C.. to &s.
dearer from tn. lowest time.
