LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 29.
The market is rather easier for American descriptions, but other
kinds are firm; the sales yesterday were 5000 bales of all kinds ;
1000 bales of American and Surat for export : to-day the market is
quiet, the sales only amounting to 2500 bales.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 27.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, Coast-
ways, and from Foreign ports, since Tuesday week, have again been
very quail, except of Wheat from Foreign ports and coastwise.
which has been to a fair extent ; the Wheat coastwise in this and in
last week's import note has been chiefly Foreign, from London.
During the chief part of the past week, the weather, though still
deficient in summer heat, has been on the whole favourable for the
gradual progress of the crops to maturity, and although we had a
recurrence of heavy and injurious rain on Friday night, and on the
forenoon of Saturday, it has since been very fine ; sales have been
very languid in ranWequence, and purchases might have been made
of almost eviery article in the Corn trade 'a little lower, and on
Wheat a reduction of 2d to 3d per 701 b was -submitted to here, and,
in almost all the Corn markets of this district of the past week.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports has, as anticipated, de-
clined on Friday last to lOs 8d per quarter, and to 6s 5d per barrel
on Flour, and on Peas to 8s per quarter :—it is very probable that
next Friday the duty on Wheat will further decline to 6s 8d per
quarter, and that on Rye it will be reduced to the lowest duty of is
per quarter ; whilst on Oats it is likely to be increased to 7s gd per
quarter ; some small parcels of fine Wheat are reported to have
changed hands in bond at 9s 4d to lOs per 7016. and of heavy Dutch
Oats and Foreign Flour in bond at about our quotations, for export.
Although we have had a recurrence of rain and an appearance
of unsettled weather this morning; in consequence of the decline
in London yesterday, the transactions at this day's market were
only to a moderate extent, and the decline above noted on Wheat,
and in a few instances a still greater reduction was submitted to,
and gd to to Is per sack and per barrel on Flour. In other articles
we can note no alteration, except Oats, which being scarce, have
obtained an advance of Id per lb
