LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AuG. 17
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott it Son.)

The imports of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland have been to a
moderate extent since Tuesday last, but of all other Grain from
thence and Coastways, they have been very small. The arrival*
of Wheat, and particularly of Flour from Canada and from Foreign
ports, continue to be considerable every week.
The weather during the past week has been various and un-
settled ; Wednesday was a very bad day—cold and heavy rain
throughout, and although Thursday proved very fine, the excited
accounts of the preceding day's transactions in Mark Lane, re-
ceived that morning, caused a renewed speculative inquiry for
bonded Wheat and Fiour, of which considerable quantities changed
hands here at an advance on Tuesday's prices of 4d to 6d per 70 lbs.
and of 2s to 2s 6d per barrel, and nearly a similar advance was
demanded on those articles free—checked a little, however, by the
certainty of Canadian Wheat and Flour, to the extent of about
le,ooo quarters, and about 50.000 barrels, being released at the
lowest duties on Friday next; Oats were 2d to 3d per 70 lbs ; and
Oatmeal 2s per 240 lbs, Beans, Peas and Barley, free and in bond,
and Malt 2s per quarter higher; the last three days have been
showery, but with a more seasonable temperature, causing a little
dulness in sales here and in Manchester, but note lower prices; re-
ports continue from the southern districts of England and Ireland
of injury having been done to their crops—but not so, hitherto, in
this and the northern districts, further than postponing harvest;
but we are now approaching a very critical period, and very much
depends on the weather for the next four or five weeks.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports since Friday has decreased
Is per quarter, on Flour 74d per barrel, and on Peas Is 6d per
quarter; on other Grain no change; on Wheat and Flour from
Canada the lowest duties of 6d per quarter, and aid per barrel will
be payable on Friday next.
The weather having been more favourable this, and the last two
days, the above mentioned advance on most articles was barely
supported at this day's market, except for Egyptian Beans in bond,
which were taken off at 303 per 240 lbs,—the transactions were
only to a moderate extent.
