11,, " the past cs'eA, heavy rain has fail .i
on several occasions. All reports agree that we have had more
wet than is good for wheat, and amply sufficient for spring
corn. The period of reaping is retarded, and no doubt more
sun is desirable than we now experience. The trade is lifeless;
holders retain their firmness, though supply is rather in excess
of demand, but it must not be forgotten that the inland factor,
miller, and dealer, are very bare of stock, that consumption is
great, and any alarm for the crop would tell sensibly on prices
at their present moderate range. Our farmers brought a fair
supply of wheat for this day's market, but we cannot write the
market more than is lower. Of foreign there was a good
shew, quality for the most part moderate, and diffieult to sell,
even at Is to 2s per quarter reduction, while fine samples, which
are less plentiful, cannot be quoted more than Is per qr lower.
With another large arrival of barley, the country demand pre-
vents our quoting more than 61 per qr decline, at which there
are more buyers than sellers. There is no quotable alteration
in beans or peas, but for oats we have a good demand, at fully
our currency below. We have a good arrival of linseed, which
for the most part goes direct to the mills, and has little in-
fluence on the market, which remains very firm ; cakes are un-
altered, with a fair daily sale. Nothing done in rapeseed, but
rape cakes meet more inquiry. Sales of bones are practicable
at our quotations to speculators,

We have a small quantity of wheat cut in this neighbour-
hood ; should the weather continue fine cutting will become
general with the light land farmers in a very few days. Appear-
ances are in favour of a productive crop of this grain. Our
market to-day was pretty well supplied with wheat; sales were
heavy, and prices lower. Barley, oats, and peas no variation.
Beans is cheaper ; malt and flour heavy sale.

LIVERPOOL, JULY 31.—The arrivals from Ireland and coast-
wise during the week have been light. From foreign ports we
have received a liberal supply of wheat and flour, and a large
quantity of Indian corn. The exports in the same time have
been comparatively unimportant. The weather, notwithstand-
ing occasional showers, having been, upon the whole, favour-
able for the crops, our trade has been quiet, and buyers have
evinced much caution. In the few transactions reported in
wheat and flour the prices of last Tuesday have been well sup-
ported. Indian corn, however, has sustained a further decline
of 2s 6d per quarter, the demand being at present totally inade-
quate to the supply. There has been hardly anything doing in
other articles, and no change in value worth noting. At this
day's market there was a good attendance of the town and
country trade, and a fair amount of business was done in wheat,
at a reduction of Id per 70Ib on middling and inferior qualities,
but fine samples of both red and white realized the prices of
this day week. Oats and oatmeal were in moderate request,
and without change in value. Barley was Id per 1601 b lower,
and beans and peas a slow sale, at late rates. Flour met with
only a limited demand, though no reduction was submitted so
In Indian corn a decline of fully 3s per quarter must be noted
27s being the extreme value of prime yellow. Indian mealsol
in retail at 15s 6d per barrel.
Le ens, JULY 31.—We have a large arrival of wheat at mar-
ket to .day, and the trade is very dull at last week's prices, and
to effect sales Is per quarter less has been taken. In other ar-
ticles no change in value. There was a good deal of rain the
last week, but the weather is fine to-day.,
PRICES OF WOOL AND OIL AT LIVERPOOL.—SiIICe our
last monthly report the wool market has shown much im-
provement, not only in the demand, but also in the prices
which clearly indicates that the industry of the country is
vigorous, and that trade is resuming a substantial and healthy
form. From the manufacturing districts we learn that a large
consumption is going forward, and prospects of a good business
for some time hence are brighter than could have been antici-
pated. It is true manufacturers are slow to admit the cheering;
fact, but we know numerous orders are received from abroad
that were a few months back executed in those continental
states which have suffered from insurrection ; these, in addition
to the regular consumption, place the artisan in a satisfactory
and iourishing condition. By private treaty sales have not
been so extensive, from want of variety of useful low kinds;
what has beon sold realised full and advanced prices ; the
descriptions cleared are chiefly Russian (part to arrive), Peru"
vian, Oporto combing, yellow, and lambs ; Alpaca, Mogadore,
Turkey, East India, &c.: the stock is much reduced. On the
llth and 25th ultimo, about 1,200 bales East India' were sold
by auction, the attendance was good and the competition
spirited ; this class may be quoted fully id to 4d per lb higher.
Scotch—Both Cheviot, Laid Highland, and Cross, are Issue:"
inquired aft-r; there is not a great quantity here, which Is
offered at the quotations, but in Scotland these wools have
changed hands recently, at rates fully as high as can be
tained here. Irish and English—A good demand exists for
each, and parcels are readily moved off at advanced price!:
stock very light.. The 'public sales which commenced ilact
London the beginning of July are about closing ; a rise Of 1;-1
to 2d per lb was realised at the annunamed,
1 though the quantity brought forward is estimated at 40,000,
bales; there is also a fair attendance. Oil—A good demand
has existed throughout the month ; large sales have been made
at higher prices; the present 'value is low, which induces us
to expect a further advance.—(From Joseph Robinson and
Co.'s Circular.)
