LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPTEMBER 3.
(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 last have been to a very
small extent, and during the first part of the past week the weather,
though still rather deficient of sunshine and summer heat, was
pretty favourable for the progress of Harvest—very partially com-
menced around us; but on Thursday night we had a recurrence of
very heavy rain, and since alternate heavy showers and sunshine,
which, at this our very critical period—harvest but just commencing
generally throughout this district, must be very injurious, tending
to produce sprouting, smut, and mildew ; and nothing but the more
favourable accounts of the progress of Harvest in the Southern
counties, where they are three weeks more forward than with us,
and the decline in prices in Mark-lane last week, could have pre-
vented an advance here, instead of the dulness we have experienced,
and a further decline on Wheat (except for the finest quality) of 3d
per 701bs, and is per sack and barrel on Flour ;—the scarcity of all
other articles in the Corn trade has prevented any decline in their
value ; and these remarks are applicable to all the markets of Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire of the past week. Reports of the general
quality of new Wheat in Mark-lane are unfavourable, and some
small parcels of new Oats and Barley from Ireland, arrived here,
are of very middling quality, but certainly not sufficient to warrant
any decided anticipation of the general result.
The alterations in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports since
Friday are an increase of is Gd per quarter on Oats, and is 6d per
quarter decrease on Beans, and Rye is now at the lowest duty of is
per quarter; on Wheat, contrary to the general expectation, it did
not recede to 6s Bd, which it will probably do next Friday ; in the
mean time Wheat in bond is offering as free less this duty—and
some parcels of fine Dutch Oats have found sales in bond for export
at 3s 5d to 3s 6d per 45 lb.
The weather has continued very rainy all this day, and appears
very unsettled, but further than enabling holders fully to recover
the decline above noted on Wheat and Flour, it caused no great ex-
citement at this day's market ; the transactions were only to a very
moderate extent, and we make no decided alteration in our prices
current of last Tuesday.
