LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUGUST

sales are

The week's arrivals of British Grain, &c. are light. The chief
arrivals from abroad arc 5,140 quarters of Wheat and 17,900 barrels
of Flour, 12,820 barrels of the latter from the United States and
5,080 barrels from Canada. Duties have been paid upon 464
quarters of Oats, 3,820 quarters of Beans, 397 quarters of Peas, and
459 barrels of Flour. The alteration in the rates of impost are 45
per quarter less on Wheat, Is 6d per quarter less on Oats, 2s 5d less
on Flour and Is fid per quarter more on Barley, the respective
rates lis Sd and 3s 3(1 per quarter, 4s per barrel, and 12s 4d per
quarter. The wet, stormy weather experienced in the beginning
of the week caused considerable excitement in our Grain market,
on Tuesday, and a large business was done in Wheat and Flour,
the better qualities of the former realizing 2d to 3d and inferior
descriptions of Foreign 4d to 6d per bushel over previous rates.
Flour, also, has brought fully is per quarter advance. Oats and
Oatmeal still move slowly, without change in value. The transac-
tions in bond embrace several.parcels of Wheat at prices ranging
from 7$ 3d to 9s 3d per barrel, tlnd a little Flour at 325 per barrel.
'rue weather has since been favourable for harvest operations, and,
with this change, we have had less disposition to business. At
yesterday's market the sale of free Wheat was limited at Id to 2d
per bushel below Tuesday's currency. Duty-paid Flour was also
rather cheaper. Other articles of the trade nominally unaltered.
About 2,000 barrels of Flour changed hands, in bond. at 32s per
barrel.
