LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 30.

Since Tuesday last the imports of Wheat from Foreign ports have
been rather considerable,—of course going into bond for the pre-
sent; from Ireland and Coastways they have been quite trivial, and
our weekly consumption, aided by a demand from distant markets,
continues rapidly diminishing our stocks of free Grain and Flour ;
the weather on Wednesday and Thursday was very favourable, but
on Friday night and all Saturday we had very heavy rain all over
this district, (which is reported to have been very general around
London,) certainly very injurious to hay-making,--protracting the
commencement of our general harvest, exciting some alarm, (the
justice of which time must show) and increasing the previous spirit
of speculation, particularly in Wheat in bond, some sales of which
have been made of the finest romeranean, ftie.; red at as 2d to as 6d,
and at as 8d to gs 3d per 701 b. for the finest white high-mixed Dant-
zic, &c. ; and an advance of 3d to 4d per 701 b. was steadily de-
manded on free Wheat, and Is to is 6d per barrel and per sack on
Flours- all other articles in the trade were also a little enhanced in
value ;—there was likewise an ;advance of 2s to 3s per quarter on
Wheat in the London, Yorkshire, and in our own country markets
of the past week.
The duties on all kinds of Grain from Foreign ports remain this
week the very same as last noted ;—no particular transactions
have this week occurred in Grain or Flour for export.
On Sunday the weather was very fine here, but very heavy thun-
der showers fell partially in this district ;—yesterday we had a re-
currence of very heavy rain all day, and the appearance of the
weather is still unsettled ; a still further increase in prices was in
consequence demanded at this day's market, which very much
checked the demand, and sales were effected only to a very limited
extent, so that the increased quotations below may be considered
almost nominal.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JULY
_29.

The number of Beasts at market to-day has been very large, and
the quality middling fOr the time of the year. The show of Sheep
and Lambs has also been very extensive. There has been a slight
reduction in price of all descriptions, except good Lamb, which
may he quoted at about the same as last week. The marketl has
been numerously attended by country buyers, as well as butchers,
and sales very brisk, especially in the former part of the day • but,
notwithstanding the large sales which have been effected, there
have been a good few Beasts,, as well as Sheep and Lambs, left un-
sold at the close, but were principally of ordinary description. A
few of the very best Cattle realized 6N, but the average price
would be 60, second quality 6d, ordinary Sid. Good Wether
Mutton may be quoted at 6id, second quality 64d, varying from
that down to Sid, but those at the later price were of a very ordi-
nary description. Lambs, which were stationary in price, may be
quoted at from Gid to 7d per lb. sinking the offal. Number of Cattle
at market:—Beasts, 1322 ; Sheep and Lambs 12,408.
