COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 26.

The weather has been beautifully fine, and the Sun's heat seems
to have subdued the wonted liveliness of our market, for business
has dragged itself along to-day with considerably difficulty, not
more than 2000 to 2500 bales have been sold at prices much on a
par with those obtained previously this week, in some instances
probably a shade lower. We want sonic thundering orders to rouse
the dormant state of trade, and to banish the midnight torpor that
prevades every thing.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AuG. 24
(Front the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6. Son.)

Since Tuesday last the supplies of Oats and Oatmeal from Ire
land, and of Wheat and Flour from Canada, have been pretty con
sidcrable.

During the whole of the past week, up to Friday evening, the
weather had become as favourable as possible for bringing the
crops to maturity, which with the release of all British Colonial
Wheat and Flour at the lowest duties on that day. paralized the
demand, and caused a timidity in some of the holders, and a few
sales were made ata decline of 6d to gil per 7olb on Wheat, 2s 6d
per barrel on Flour, 3d per 45 lb on Oats, and 2s to 3s per 240 lb
on Oatmeal, from the previous highest quotations—which indeed
were almost nominal, sales thereof having been effected to a very
small extent, and only to millers and dealers, whose immediate
wants did not permit them to wait the release of the Canadian ;
but on the morning of Saturday we had torrents of rain—almost
equally so during the day following, and the weather having an
appearance of again becoming unsettled at this our very criticr.l
period, there was a little more confidence in both sellers and
buyers yesterday, although the Manchester Corn market was very
dull on Saturday.

The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports was reduced on Friday
as per quarter, on Flour Is add per barrel, on Barley, Indian Corn,
and Buck Wheat, and on Beans is 6d per quarter; and on Wheat
and Flour from Canada the lowest duties were then payable of 6d
per quarter, and 39d per barrel, as anticipated; very confident
expectations continue that Foreign Wheat and Flour will be at
their lowest duties in September, and thus a very large quantity
of both articles remain locked up from public use, at present,
though much wanted, and which, by the adoption of a fluctuating
scale for an alteration in the present Corn Laws, frequently
suggested by us, and in which we have hitherto seen no improve-
ment proposed,—would have been wholly released for home use at
a duty of 4s per quarter and 2s 6d per barrel on Friday the I3th
instant,—the aggregate average being then above 66s ;—but the
duty is still 18s 8d per quarter, though our prices of fine Wheat are
11s to 12s per 70 lb.
Reaping is very partially commenced in this district, but it is
thought rather prematurely; and reports are not unfavourable as
to quality or quantity ; harvest not expected to be general till the
end of this month, though in the southern counties they are as
usual a few weeks earlier than with us.
During the past night we had a very severe thunder storm, and
the rain fell in torrents, which must have done injury to the crops,
though it is to be hoped it fell very partially ; in consequence of
which a further decline was checked at this day's market, and sales
to a fair extent were made of every article in the Corn trade at
about the decline above mentioned, whilst many holders abstained
from offering to sell ; under such circumstances, capriciously fluc-
tuating with every change of weather, quotations will vary, and it
is no easy matter to state them correctly—which we endear our to
do in our prices current below.
