LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 1

The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coast-
ways, Canada, and from foreign ports have been again very trivial
since Tuesday last, and during the chief part of the past week we
have had frequent showers all over the district, which sometimes
have fallen very heavily, and the weather has been very close and
sultry with little or no wind or sunshine, the consequences of
whieh cannot be immediately ascertained ; and although further
than impeding the operations of harvest, no particular injury to
the crops has, as yet, been reported, a continuance of such weather
for a very few days longer would become very injurious, and would
cause the Wheat to sprout, . _

. .
The Millers and Dealers having been very. sparing buyers
throughout the past week, here, and in all the country markets, in
the expectation of the immediate release of foreign Wheat and
Flour from bond, we have experienced but very dull sales of free
Grain and Flour at a small decline.
The only alteration in the duties on Grain from foreign ports on
Friday last was a decrease of Is 6d per quarter on Rye. There is
now very little doubt that on Friday next the duty on Wheat will
be reduced to 2s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to Is 7id per barrel,
at which, it is probable, the whole of these two articles in bond,
here, and in the United Kingdom, will be released, as a further
decline in the duty cannot be anticipated.
A recurrence of fine harvest weather, added to the decline in
Mark-lane yesterday, caused an exceeding languid demand at this
day's market, and sales only to a very limited extent were made of
every article in the Corn trade, although a decline of 4d to 6d per
70 lb on Wheat, Is per barrel on Flour (free, or to be delivered free
on Friday next,) Id to 2d per 45 lb on Oats, Is to is 6d per 240 lb
on Oatmeal, and Is per quarter on all other articles was submitted
to, and the quotations below may be almost considered nominal.
