LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 12.

The demand still continues large, the trade and exporters buying
freely, and full prices are obtained. The sales yesterday were 7000
bales, of which WOO American and 400 Surat were on exporters'
account ; to-day, 5000 bales sold, 500 American for export.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 10.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
Since Tuesday last the arrivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from
Ireland and Coastwise have been quite trivial, and from Foreign
ports also to a moderate extent, and the weather has been alter-
nately fine and rainy ;—on Saturday we had very heavy rain, which
must have been very injurious; and altogether, we fear the unripe
Grain has improved but very little, and not much of that which has
been cut can have been well secured, and that the operations of
harvest throughout this district, and to the northward, and likewise
throughout Ireland, have progressed very slowly and unsatisfac-
torily during the past week ; although reports of the crops from the
counties south of Birmingham on the west, and of Lincoln on the
east coast, particularly those around London, are more favourable,
and they appear to be three weeks more forward than with us ; the
weather is now becoming seriously alarming for the northern
harvest, and justly exciting fears for the crops in the minds of those
best qualified to estimate the consequences; purchases have been
made by the millers and dealers more freely for their immediate
wants, at fully our last quotations; and although the present high
prices deter speculators from acting at home, we have reason to
believe they have already turned their active attention to Foreign
ports, from whence supplies of Grain may be expected—certainly to
the very great benefit of the United Kingdom, and, it is to be hoped,
with advantxtge to themselves also ;—the transactions have only
been to a moderate extent during the past week here, and in all our
country markets, and a small improvement in prices has been ob-
tained ;—the increased quotations on Wheat below proceeded more
from the very superior qualities—hitherto held back, and now offered
for sale—than from any decided general advance since last Tuesday.
The only alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports
since Friday last is, as expected, a reduction of 4s. per quarter on
Wheat—say to 6s. Bd. per quarter. and on Flour to 4s. per barrel;
and no alteration is anticipated next Friday in the duties on any
kind of Grain some small parcels of fine heavy Dutch Oats in bond
find sales for export at 3s 4d to 3s 6d per 451bs ; but all other bonded
Grain and Flour sell as free, deducting duties.
Although it rained a little on Sunday morning, the high wind on
that day and on the forenoon of yesterday will probably have ena-
bled the farmers to secure some fields of Grain previous to the
recurrenee of heavy rain yesterday afternoon and last night ; to-day
it is again fair, and at this day's market, though pretty well attended,
there appeared no particular excitement, nor any increased spirit
for purchasing, and sales were effected only to a moderate extent
of every article in the trade, and excepting in Wheat as above men.
tioned, we cannot make any decided alterations in our quotations
of this day week; the demand for Rye has been very languid, and
some holders have been endeavouring to press sales at about our
lowest, whilst others abstain from offering even at our highest quo-
tations, considering this article below its fair proportionate value.

LONDON CORN MARKET, SEPT. 11.
The business in Wheat has been very limited this morning, and
the prices of Monday have been sustained for superior samples of
old, both English and Foreign ; but the new English Wheat is so
very inferior, that the millers consider it unfit for use, and conse-
quently very little of it can be sold. In Oats the business has been
active at the prices of Monday, and for very superior samples an
advance of 6d and gd per quarter has been readily obtained. In
Barley,•Beans, or Peas, nothing of importance has been done to-
day. The duty on Foreign Wheat willfall to-morrow to 2s Sd, and
from present appearances the ports will be opened at the nominal
duty in the course of about three weeks from the present time.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, SEPT. 11.
The first three days of the present week were very fine, during
which time the greater part of the Corn in this part of the country
has been secured in good order. Wheat is firmly held for last
week's currency ; the sales of new reported are from Ss 6d to gs ;
old, gs to 95 4d per 621 b. Malting Barley not so much in demand,
but its value is supported Beans and Peas scarce, and in request.
There are buyers of Oats at Is per qr. in advance, but none offering.
