LIVERPOOLSORN. MARKET, AUGUST

The imports since Tuesday last from Ireland have again been
quite trivial, and of Wheat and Flower from foreign ports, they
have been only to a moderate extent.
Although the first part of the past week, as noticed in our last
circular, was very rainy and unfavourable for the crops of grain,
we have had fine weather ever since, and further than Impeding
the progress of Harvest, now generally commenced throughout
this district, it is believed that no great injury has as yet been sus-
tained.
Our market has continued pretty steady for Grain, Flour, and
Oatmeal during the past week, but a small reduction was submit-
ted to in some instances on free wheat, flour and oats.
The duty on Wheat from foreign ports was, as anticipated, re-
duced on Friday last 4s per quarter, say 6s 8d per quarter, and on
Flour to 45 per barrel, and on Oats to 35 3d per quarter ; but in.
creased to 12s 4d per quarter on Barley, Indian Corn and Buck
Wheat; with Out alteration on Rye, Beans and Pease; it appears
now very likely, that on Friday the 4th September, the duty on
Wheat will be further reduced to 2s 8d per quarter, and Is lid per
barrel on Flour, which prospect helps to cause a small depression
on Free Wheat and Flour, and a small increase in the value of
those articles in bond, at which several considerable parcels have
recently changed hands, and this will prevent the release for home
use of bonded Wheat and Flour for another week oz two.
At this day's market, owing to the continuance of favourable
weater and the decline in London yesterday, we experienced very
dull sales for all kinds of free Grain, at a decline of about Is to 2s
per quarter, and of is to is 6d pe: barrel on Flour, and on Oatmeal
per 2401 b ; of bonded Grain and Flour we can hardly alter quota-
tions.
