LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SErr. 18,

During the whole of the past week there has been no rain, and
the weather, though sometimes too cold and deficient of sunshine
for unripe Grain, has been on the whol, very favourable for the
operations of harvest, now in active progress generally throughout
this district; notwithstanding which, and the release of all bonded
Wheat and Flour on Friday last, (as stated below) we had at this
day's market here, and since in Manchester, a very fair demand for
the liner qualities of British and Foreign Wheat, at fully; the prices
of Tuesday last, and in some instances at an increase of 2d to 3d
per Ib ; there was also a moderate sale for all other articles in the
trade at full prices ; and the demand would have been inure exten-
sive, but that many of the principal Millers and Dealers have sup-
plied their immediate %Yaws by previous purchases of \'heat in
bond ;—the appearance of the country to casual observers has been
always luxuriant, and of the crops of spring Grain and Potatoes
throughout this and nei4hbouring count es the report has been
generally favourable ;—of 1i heat little is as yet secured, and there
may be about one-third cut and in stooks. and from the more par-
ticular investigations of many intelligent practical farmers, the
previous reports of a serious deficiency in quantity and quality are
confirmed.—The imports of the past week have been very trivial,
and those of Wheat coastways have again been chiefly foreign in
bond from London.
The aggregate average of Wheat for the six weeks ending the 7th
instant, received at our Custom-house here on Friday last, was
73s Id per qr and the lowest duties of is per qr. on Wheat and 7d
per barrel on Flour from Foreign ports have been payable since
that day here, and will of course so continue until Friday nett, the
21st instant, of which all holders of those articles in hood will im-
mediately avail themselves, as it is very probable the duties will
then he again increased to 2s 8d per qr and Is 71d per ;—we
believe the estimate stated in our last circular is correct, and we
now repeat it : the quantity of Foreign Wheat and Flour in bond
here, and on board ships in our docks. may be about 170,000 qrs.
and about 05,000 hrls. and in the United Kingdom about boo,noo firs
of Wheat : thus has the release of all Foreign Wheat and Flour in
bond in the United Kingdom been very opportunely, cleverly end
we believe very fairly accomplished I—The duty on Foreign Bar-
ley. Indian Corn, Buck Wheat and Beans is this week decreased
Is 6d per qr;—on Oats and Beans no alteration.—Of Foreign
Wheat and Flour the quotations are now those of free Grain ; of
all other Grain in bond they are almost nominal, so few transac-
tions have recently occurred therein.
At this day's market there was a good attendance of millers and
dealers who bought to a moderate extent, and some sales were also
made to specula ors ()Nile finer qualities of British and Foreign
Wheat at fully the advance above noted on last Tuesday's prices.
and for all other articles in the trade there was a limited demand,
at a small improvement on prices, but not sufficient to alter the
general quotations.

land Brands are about the same figure. Banbridge, Newry, &e.
81s to 87s.—Pickled Butter Is held for rather more money. 841 s to
87s being now the asking rates.—Bacon brings 44s to 31s for Belfast

LIVERPOOL CA'T'TLE MARKET, SEPT. 17.
The supply of Beasts at market to-day hqs been very large. lir
far the greatest we have had this season, but notwithstam.ing the
great increase in number, the demand has been equal to the sup-
ply, there being many country buyers present who i,ought ratl,r
largaly. We cannot note any alteration in the price of first quality
Beef; those being principally in demand, they have fully Ina:n-
tamed last week's prices; 'but those of middling and interior
quality, those remaining msold being of a small inferior sort. The
supply of Sheep has not been quite so large as for some weeks past,
and the Lambs were hut few, being out of season ; but good We-
ther She,p still sell at a good price, eonsrquently they were prin-
cipally sold up at rather an early hour in the afternoon. The best
Beef may be quoted as high as 6d per lb ; second quality. At ith
middlirE, and inferior, varying from that down to 41d; but those
of the latter price were of a very ordinary description. Large
Nether Mutton sold at 6ld ; middling and gwes Cd, with some of
very ordinary quality at 50. The few good Lambs that were in
the market were sold at about Gid per lb.
