LIVERPOOL? CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 16.

Since this day week the weather has been rainy, impeding the
Hay harvest, of which not one half is yet secured, but for all other
agricultural produce it has continued very favourable. The imports
of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastwise have again
been very trivial—from foreign ports they continue to a fair extent
—chiefly going into bond—although duty of 13s 8d has been paid
on 3or 4000 quarters of Wheat. There has been a fair demand for
good Wheat and Flour here, and a small advance has been obtained,
but for all other articles in the trade sales have been very limited,
and a small decline submitted to. In the Yorkshire markets of the
past week there was a decline on Wheat of Is per quarter, and in
Manchester on Saturday there was a dullness, and an advance
demanded on Wheat and Flour lying here was barely obtainable,
whilst Oats were offered Id per 451 b, and Oatmeal lid per 2401 b.
lower. _ _ .

The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports has since Friday last been
increased to 16s Bd per quarter, and on Flour to 10s Oid per barrel;
on Rye and Beans it has been reduced is 6d per quarter, on other
grain no alteration. It is likely that the duty on Oats will be de-
creased is 6d per quarter next Friday. There has been recently
very little doing in bonded Oats, Flour or Pease for export, at about
the prices quoted, and the value of all other Grain in bond con-
tinues as if free, deducting the duty. .

At this day's market there was it thin attendance, but sales were
effected of Wheat and Flour to a moderate extent at fully the prices
of this day week, and which in some instances were a little ex-
ceeded ; on Oats and Oatmeal a small further reduction must be
noticed; but except for the finer descriptions of sweet Pomeranean
Wheat, which we increase 2d to 3d per 701 b. we can make very
little alteration in our general prices current of last Tuesday;
superfine sweet French Flour has obtained 42s per barrel.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JULY 18.

The supply of Cattle to-day has been about the same as last
week, but that of Sheep and Lambs rather smaller. The sales have
been by no means large, although the market was tolerably well
attended by country buyers as well as butchers. With respect to
prices we cannot note any alteration from otlr quotations of last
week, saving on stock of a very ordinary description, which may
be quoted a shade less. The best Beef was sold at 6id; second
quality 6id down to 6d; ordinary a shade less. Good Wether
Mutton realised fully 7d, varying from that down to 6d ; Lambs at
abotit'6d to did per lb. sinking the offal. There were a good few
Beasts, as well as some Sheep and Lambs of an ordinary descrip-
tion left unsold. Number of Cattle at market :—Beasts, 983,
Sheep and Lambs 9124.
