COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER 16.

On Tuesday we rather under quoted the amount of business,
it was cast up to 35u0 bales, and not 1500 as previously stated ; we
seemed exceedingly quiet, and no one expected so much was being
done yesterday. We had again a fair demand, and 5500 to 4000
bales to-day—rather say 3000 bales. A moderate proportion of
good Bowed at 62d for export, and a few hundred on speculation.
We may remark that the buoyancy and animation noticed on
Monday has not only disappeared, but has been succeeded by the
same listless dullness we have for some time laboured under, and
we can purchase to-day quite on as good terms as any day last
week.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 14.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott & Son.)
The 'imports of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland have been
moderate, but of Wheat and Flour from foreign ports, and ports
coastways, they have been very considerable, since Tuesday last.
During the past week the weather has been alternately favourable
and unfavourable,—the former has however been most prevalent,
and the harvest has progressed slowly; notwithstanding which,
and the certainty of all Wheat and Flour in the united kingdom
being released front bond at the lowest duty next Friday, we ex-
perienced a renewed and active demand at last Friday's market for
Wheat, free and in bond, at an advance of 3d to 4(1 per 70 lbs, and
a very considerable quantity changed hands, as reported, at this
advance ;—for Flour, and other articles in the Corn trade, there
was an increased demand, without much alteration in prices, here,
and in our surrounding markets.
The duty on Wheat from foreign ports was reduced on Friday
last, as anticipated, 4s per quarter, say to as 8d per quarter, and
on Flour to is 74d ber barrel; Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck
Wheat, Rye, Beans, and Pease, is 6d Der quarter lower; and next
Friday, Wheat will no doubt be at the lowest duty, and there is
every prospect that the duties'on all grain will then be further re-
duced, excepting Oats, for Which there Is but a trivial demand for
export.
The three last days have been very fine ; we may almost say, the
only really hot sumer-like weather we have experienced this season ;
and there was an appearance of its continuing settled ; but this
morning we have had a recurrence of very heavy rain, with
thunder, and it has continued rainy at intervals during the day;—
In consequence at this day's market there was a fair business done
in good foreign Wheat, deliverable free of duty alter Friday next,
at a little increase on the advance above noted ; for Flour and for
all other articles in the Corn trade sales were limited at about our
last quotations.
