LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 20.
There has been a quiet market to-day in Cotton, the sales are
3000 bags, without change.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUGUST 18.

The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, since
Tuesday last, have again been very trivial, and have been for some
time past exceeded by the exports thither ; but from ports, coast-
ways. from Canada, and from foreign ports, they have been to a
considerable extent. _ _

During the first part of the week the weather continued as
favourable as in the two preceding weeks; and, although since
Friday last it has been of a similar temperature and we have had
frequent showers, further than retarding-Harvest, they have not
as yet been injurious to the crops o; Grain, and they have been
beneficial to the Pastures, Turnips, and Potatoes, which stood in
much need of moisture.
The stocks of the millers and dealers having been much reduced,
the demand during the past week has been to a fair extent for
almost every article in the Corn trade, and prices of last Tuesday
have been pretty generally obtained.
The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has been reduced since
Friday last to 10s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 6s 5d per barrel,
and on Beans to the lowest, Is per quarter; on Friday next, It is
almost certain that the duty on Wheat will be further reduced to
6s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 43 per barrel ; further we will
not anticipate, though some are very sanguine in their expectations
of seeing it at the lowest in September, Some very considerable
quantities of Wheat and Flour, in bond, are reported to have
changed hands since our last, at fully the prices then quoted ; the
duty on Oats will also, very probably, be reduced is 8d per quarter
next Friday. _

During the whole of yesterday and the preceding night we have
had a deluge of rain, which fell very heavily, accompanied by strong
gusts of wind ; the result of which, to the crops of Grain, must have
been very injurious, though this is not yet ascertained ; by accounts
from London it appears they have had equally severe weather
there yesterday, which enabled them to obtain an advance on
Wheat of 2s to 3s per quarter; this day it has continued rainy and
broken, and in consequence, at this day's market, an advance of
3d to 6d per 70 lb. on Wheat, 2s to 3s per barrel on Flour, free and
In bond, Is per 45 lbs. on Oats, Is per 240 lbs. on Oatmeal, and la
per quarter on every other article in the Corn trade was steadily
demanded and obtained to a moderate extent, and we must now, at
this our most critical time, fluctuate in the most capricious manner
with the weather for the next three or four weeks, as Harvest is
but just commencing throughout this and the northern districts.
