COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 29.—The duties remain at the low-
est point for all grain and flour. The arrivals from Ire-
land and coastways comprise 315 qrs wheat, 8 qrs bar-
ley, 480 qrs malt, 390 qrs oats, 1,631 loads oatmeal, and
103 sacks flour. From Canada there are no supplies;
and from foreign ports 5,267 qrs wheat, 150 qrs barley,
950 qrs oats, 2,292 qrs Indian corn, 24 loads oatmeal,
670 sacks and 1,379 barrels flour. The exports amount
to 1,572 qrs wheat, 4,223 qrs Indian corn, 532 barrels
corn meal, 189 sacks and 623 brls flour. The weather
is cold, damp, and gloomy. The trade has not been
lively, but an improved demand has been experienced for
low qualities of old wheat, both for local consumption
and for shipment to Ireland, at fully previous rates; new
is still neglected. Oats being scarce are rather dearer;
and Indian corn is held with increased firmness. In all
other articles the transactions have bean unimportant,
without any change in prices. At this day's market
there was a moderate attendance of both town and coun-
try dealers, and a fair consumptive demand for all de-
scriptions of old wheat at. last Tuesday's prices.
New sold slowly, but 'ts, reistised for prime
kiln dried Irish. Oats were scarce, and supported pre-
vious rates; but oatmeal was again Gd per load lower.
Barley, Beans, and Peas were without alteration in value
or demand. There was no improvement in the sale for
Flour, and full prices were with difficulty obtained.
Indian Corn was in considerable request, and 6d to 11
per 480 lbs dearer. Mixed American, to arrive, sold at 32s
per 480 lbs for cost, freight, and insurance; on the spot
at 35s per 480 lbs duty paid; sound yellow held for 375;
and for yellow Indian Corn-meal 19s per barrel gene-
rally demanded.
UPPINGRAM, SEPT. 27.—Wheat, per quarter, 47s to
565; Barley, 31s to 345; Oats, 20s to 28s; Beans, 42.
to 445.

SLEAFORD, SEPT. 25.—We had a fair supply of grain
offering to-day; the buyers were for a reduction in price,
owing to which ♦ery little business was done. Prices
may be quoted about is per quarter lower than last
week. Wheat, red, per quarter, 47s to 525; white, 49s
to 535; Barley, 28s to 335; Oats, 18s to 235; Beans, fine
old, 40s to 41s.

BOSTON, SEPT. 27.—At this day's market there was
a fair supply of wheat, which experienced a slow sale
at a decline of is to 2s per quarter, according to quality,
on the prices current last week. Of Oats there was a
moderate delivery ; but of beans the quantity on offer
was very small. The former met with willing pur-
chasera at a decline of about is per quarter. The value
of beans must be noted the same as previously reported.
Wheat, red, per quarter, 45s to 52s ; white, 56s ; oats,
new, 16s to 21s ; beans, 38s to 40s.
SPALDING, SEPT. 26.—Our September cattle fair oc-
curring yesterday, and this being pleasure day, the
transactions in the corn trade were limited. The trade
in wheat was heavy at a decline of is per quarter.
Oats were firm: But few beans upon the market; prices
as before.

LOUTH, SEPT. 27.—The harvest is almost completed
in this neighbourhood, and in excellent condition. The
potatoes are decidedly better than was calculated upon
some few weeks past, and most probably the price will
not be maintained at which they are now selling—via.,
6d to Is per peck. There is a fair quantity of wheat
offering to day, for which the demand is good, at a de-
cline of is per qr. from last week. Barley is in short
supply, and for good parcels late rates are maintained.
In oats or beans no alteration. Wheat, red, 46s to 52s ;
ditto, white, 50s to 56s ; barley, 28s to 33s ; oats 17s to
21s ; beans, 40s to 48s ; peas, 36s to 38s.
GAINSBOROUGH, SEPT. 26.—Return of sales for the
week ending as above—Wheat, 403 qrs, aver 51s 6d;
Barley, 183 qrs, 335; Oats, 20 qrs, 21s per qr.
NEWARK.. SEPT. 27.—We had a very large market
to-day, but the buyers and sellers were divided into two
companies, part being in the usual place (the market-
place), and the other part in the new Corn Exchange,
which has this day been occupied for the first time for
the transaction of business, and although in a very un-
finished state the attendance was numerous. A fair
quantity of wheat was sold, at a reduction of is to 2s
per qr. Red wheat, 53s to 565, white ditto, 56s to 595;
malting barley, 29s to 345; oats, 28s to 30s; beans, 403
to 448 per qr. Butter, ild t. 13d per lb; eggs, 20
for Is. There has been a very large show of stock in our
market to-day, and a good demand at full prices.

to 36s ; oats, 22s to 28s • beans, 40s to 44s per qr.

ditto, 52s to 56s ; barley, 29s to 34s ; oats, 183 to 225;
beans, 40s to 41s per qr.
DONCASTER, SEPT. 28.—Our supply of wheat this
morning was small for the season; fine old and dry new
supported last week's rates, middling qualities of new
rather lower, and at the close of the market very little
remained unsold of any description. Oats unaltered in
' value. Beans slow sale at previous rates. New malting
barley is cheaper; grinding also rather lower, with very
little doing. Wheat, new, 18s to 21s; fine 20s to 225;
old, 19s to 21s; fine, 22s to 235; blend-corn, 14s to 17s;

oats, fine, 15s to 17s; peas, white, 14s to 15s; peas,
grey, 12s to 13s per three bushels. Oats, new, 20s to
225; fine, 235; old, 21s to 235; fine, 24s to 255; barley,
29s to 31s; fine malting, 33s to 36s 6d per qr.
- HULL, SEPT. 26.—,We had for this day's market, a;
good supply of wheat from the farmers, both new and
old, the former not in so good condition as of late; both
sorts were dull sale at 2s decline. No progress made
with foreign, even at this reduction. Altogether we had
a dull market. All kinds of spring corn are exceedingly
flat, and to effect sales lower prices have to be taken.
LEEDS, SEPT. 26.—We were well supplied with
wheat, of other articles the arrivals are small. The de-
mand for wheat is not extensive, and prices are is per
quarter lower than on Friday, but holders are not dis-
posed to press sales. Barley goes off slowly, prices as
before. Beans, oats, and other articles, do not alter in
value.
SELBY, SEPT. 25.—Wheat, 21s; maslin, 19s 9d; beans,
16s 3d per load; oats, 21s; barley, 34s 61 per quarter.
DEVIZES, SEPT. 28.—There has been heavy rain
throughout the morning, which has very much limited
the amount of business in our market. We had a large
supply of both old and new wheats—the former scarcely
realized last week's prices, and the latter was from Gd to

Is a sack lower. But little barley exhibited. Vetches
are in better stupply than last week, but maintain former
quotations. Best white wheat, 30s to 31s 6d; best old
red wheats, 29s to 31s; second ditto, 23s to 245; third
ditto, 22s to 235; new ditto, 21s to 285; beans, 20s to 235;
peas, 19s to 21s; flour, 445 to 52s per sack. Best bread,
Is 2d per Blbs.
WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 29.—The supply of wheat is large,
a great proportion of which is newly released foreign,
and for this description there is a steady sale at last
week's prices; the condition of new is much affected by
the present damp weather, but dry parcels maintain their
previous value. Barley is is per quarter cheaper. Oats
and shelling meet a slow demand at late rates. In beans
and other articles no change.

DRIED FRUITS.—The arrival of dried fruits of
various descriptions from the south of Europe and else-
where have commenced for the season, and are taking
place in very considerable quantities. The importations
of such articles last season were not nearly so extensive
as during some previous years, but we have good reason
'to know that the supplies of dried raisins and currants
this season are expected to be very large, and that nu-
merous and extensive cargoes of these important kinds
of fruits are now on their way to this country. The
fact of an extensive crop and consequently large supply
of raisins, end particularly currants, is of great import-
ance to a large portion of the community for culinary
and other domestic purposes.
The firm of Messrs. Kelsalls and Co., of London
and Calcutta, which was compelled to suspend payment
on the 10th of June last, has been reconstituted under
the name of Kelsalls, Hoare, and Co., and will forthwith
resume its usual business. The new partners are Messrs.
E. C. Buxton and Richard Hoare, the latter of whom
is on his way to India. At a meeting of the creditors
of the old firm at Calcutta, on the 7th ultimo. one
of the resolutions unanimously passed was to the follow-
ing effect :—" That it appears to this meeting that the
firm of Messrs. Kelsalls and Co. is quite solvent, and
that every coafidence ought to be, and is, felt that they
will continue to conduct its affairs fn a manner satisfac-
tory to all parties interested."
