LIVERPOOL FRUIT TRADE.

CIIIMANTS.—In my report of the Bth nit., I stated that the growing
crops were very prornisini,, and would probably reach 40,000 tons.
and that this would be the largest crop since 1851 (the sulphur pro-
cess having Wen compleZele slice ssful, both as a pr% ventative and as
a curd of the Miura), in this we are dislpp )intsd, for we have ad-
vices from currant d•stricts stating that great damage had been done
to the crops ry heavy rains From Zti te, by telegraph, dated the
25th Ansus•, we learn that there had been very heavy rains and ex-
tensi,e damage done to currant cro a, half of the crop on drying
ground, and from Athens, by tele.3 a- h, dated the 28th, we are in-
f. Tmed haat on the 25:'n a d there had been heavy rain, and that
thi ty-five millions lbs had teen reduced to rubblsh, and only five to
six millions had been say- d; twenty millions were ati 1 on the plant,
and weather wry bad. Those statements have since b ten confirmed,
so that no doubt exists as to the damage lichig of a calamitous kind.
If not to the full extent at ited. The merdet has conseqaently keen
in a very excited state, Lnd parcels have changed hands a.ain and
again at from 10s to 15s aivance, and holders of fine fruit have in
some cases withdrawn them for the present from the market, under
the impress'on that we shah hare very little real y fine fruit coming
forward. Prici's for fine have opened ai•rodd at extreme rates. say
10') dollars (with a probability of an adv ince), this will be fully 80. s
duty paid here. We shall no doubt have a wide range of prices, and
tine fruit will be very high. Our eledran--.es for home consumphon
for the mrialla of August are 21 i tons against 268 'ant month, and
atalnst 177 tons far August, 1856. Exports and removals coast-
wi e 115 tons ac inst 149 last month, and rig inset 90 for August,

telegraphs:
Relaters —Not anything doing. The trade are waiting for new,
which are expected In a tew days. Videneiss have opened abroad at 7
doll to tl,e farmers, open pike, and in London the opening price is
655. The crop it is thought will ciAne up to last year's, say 180,000
quintals. Blaiik will be a dencient, crop, the :recounts being most
discouraging as regards qaality and quantity. Red and Sultanas are
estim ited as short of last year's, whilst Malaga will be one-third
Trio e. for all kinds are likely to rule high, as the demand fur

Fros.—Ml kin is are expected tore abundant th's season, and prices
