LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET.-AUGUST 12.

Scotch :—We have experienced a very limited inquiry for Scotch
wools generally since our last report, yet prices were tolerably
steady. Should the new clips arrive early, they will realize full
rates. Arrivals this week 243 bags. previously this year 3495 bags—
total 5638 bags. Foreign :—The altention of the trade has been
confined of late to the public sales held in London. The prices
obtained there have caused rather more firmness in our market,
but the sales were few,, and prices remain without any alteration.
At rivals this week 967 bags, previously this year 36,446 bags—total
37,413 bags.

LIVERPOOL CORN

MARKET, AUGUST 11

The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coast-
ways, Canada, and from Foreign ports, have again been to a very
trivial extent since Tuesday last, in some degree owing to the
easterly winds whieh have prevailed; and during the whole of the
past week the weather has continued, like the one preceding,
uninterruptedly fine—free from rain, with genial summer heat
and sunshine, forcing the crops of Grain rapidly into maturity;
reports, however, continue to confirm the generally adopted
Opinion that the crops of Hay and of Wheat, with a few partial ex-
ceptions, will prove but light in quantity, except in the southern
districts of England, in which Harvest is now reported to be in
full progress ; it has commenced very partially around us, but is
not expected to be general before the end of this month.
We have, in consequence of the very favourable weather, expe-
rienced complete stagnation in this, and in all the country Corn
markets of the past week, the millers and dealers having continued
unwilling to increase the small stocks, and transactions altogether
have been so trivial that we cannot quote prices very correctly ;
we believe purchases might have been made at about the following
decline, 3d to 6d per 70 lb. on Wheat, Is lid to Cs per barrel on
Flour, Id per 451 b. on Oats, Is per 2401 b. on Oatmeal, and Is per
quarter on all other Grain.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports was decreased on Friday
last one step, say to 13s 8d per quarter, and to as 'lid per barrel on
Flour; and on Peas to 2s per quarter, no alteration on any other
Grain ; o❑ Friday next the duty on Wheat will be further reduced
tolOs ad per quarter and 6s 5d per barrel ; and on Friday the 21st
instant, it is anticipated that it will be further reduced to 6s Sd per
quarter, and to 4s per barrel; some few speculative purchases of
both articles in bond have recently been made at about our last
quotations. _ _ _

Our supplies of Wheat Coastways, from London, and from
Foreign ports, have been a little increased by a change of wind
yesterday, and there has been a little rain during the past night,
which must have been very beneficial. At this day's market the
languor above quoted prevailed, and sales only to a very trivial
extent were effected of every article in the trade, at the above
mentioned decline.
