demand, and realizing 64d to 6id per lb. Middle qualities 6d per lb.
Prime Mutton, bid to 7d per lb. Middle and inferior 6d to sid per
lb. Lamb 6d to 6id per lb. Very little unsold except very inferior
Mutton and Lamb.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AuG. 17.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott ijr Son.)
The imports of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland have been to a
moderate extent since Tuesday last, but of all other Grain from
thence and Coastways, they have been very small. The arrivals
of Wheat, and particularly of Flour from Canada and from Foreign
ports, continue to be considerable every week.
The weather during the past week has been various and un-
settled ; Wednesday was a very bad day—cold and heavy rain
throughout, and although Thursday proved very fine, the excited
accounts of the preceding day's transactions in Mark Lane, re-
ceived that morning, caused a renewed speculative inquiry for
bonded Wheat and Fiour, of which considerable quantities changed
hands here at an advance on Tuesday's prices of 4d to 6d per ;0 lbs,
and of 2s to 2s 6d per barrel, and nearly a similar advance was
demanded on those articles free—checked a little, however, by the
certainty of Canadian Wheat and Flour, to the extent of about
10,000 quarters, and about 50,000 barrels, being released at the
lowest duties on Friday next; Oats were Id to :id per 70 lbs; and
Oatmeal Is per 240 lbs. Beans, Peas and Barley, free and in bond,
and Malt Is per quarter higher; the last three days have been
showery, but with a more seasonable temparature, causing a little
dulness in sales here and in Manchester, but not lower prices; re-
ports continue from the southern districts of England and Ireland
of injury having been done to their crops—but not so, hitherto, in
this and the northern districts, further than postponing harvest;
but we are now approaching a very critical period, and very much
depends on the weather for the next four or five weeks.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports since Friday has decreased
Is per quarter, on Flour 7id per barrel, and on Peas Is lid per
quarter; on other Grain no change; on Wheat and Flour from
Canada the lowest duties of 6d per quarter, and 3d per barrel will
be payable on Friday next.
The weather having been more favourable this, and the last two
days, the above mentioned advance on most articles was barely
supported at this day's market, except for Egyptian Beans in bond,
which were taken off at 303 per 240 lbs,—the transactions were
only to a moderate extent.
