LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 20.

The imports from Ireland and Coastways since Tuesday last
been very moderate, but our stocks of bonded Wheat and Flour
have been further increased by arrivals from the United States, the
latter chiefly old and sour; the first part of the past week was
stormy and rainy, but since Thursday the weather has been very
favourable for the completion of the northern harvest, which we
fear is not yet fully accomplished, and although the usual com-
munications on this interesting subject, from many counties in
England are various and indecisive, and from Scotland and Ireland
few have vet been received, there seems to be a general and
increasing 'feeling in the Corn trade, that the crops of Wheat
throughout the whole kingdom, with a few exceptions, will this
season prove very deficient in quality and quantity, which h s en-
curaged an increasing activity since this day week here in the de-
mand for IVheat and Flour at a further advance of 44 to tid per
70lbs for the former, and of Is to 2s per 28011 s on the latter, amid for
all other articles in the trade there has been a. better demand at a
small increase in prices ; the Yorkshire Corn markets have also
improved a little during the past week, in \lark-lane, Wheat ad-
vaneed 3s to 4s per qr, and at Manchester on Saturday there was a
similar improvement, and a fair demand for Grain from this port,
although we are still a little undersold by the merchants in Wake-
field. .
_ _

The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports is this week increased is
per qr. and lid per brl. on Flour, Is 6,1 per qr. on Oats, and is 3d
per qr. on Rye; on Peas it is decreased is 6d per qr. on other Grain
no alteration; there being every prospect of the duties receding at
no distant period, the holders of bonded Wheat and Flour are not
very eager sellers, though about 2s to 2s 6d per 7011,s less than the
same quality free would he given. a cargo of very fine Odessa Wheat
in bond has been sold at 8s per 701bs, and Flour 32s to 35s her brl. ;
a few sales of the finest heavy Oats in bond have been made for
export at our highest quotations.
At this day's market the advance above-mentioned was steadily
demanded for Wheat and Flour. and fully obtained to a fair extent,
but the millers, dealers, and speeulators;having purchased so freely
last week, the business done this day was not very extensive • for
Oats and Oatmeal, and for every other article in the trade there
was also a better demand, at the small advance noted in the prices
current below, and now again affix quotations to Wheat in bond
though almost nominally.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 22.
We have had a large supply of Beasts at market to-day, although
in nnmtu than last week, but. the quality generally has been
rather inferior, and the sales very heavy, saying for a few beasts
which were of a superior sort. The supply of Sheep has been ra-
ther large for the season of the year, many of which have been
very small, and only of middling quality. The best Beef was sold
at 51d middlin ; sd, varying from that down to 4d, Good Wether
Mutton may be quoted at 61d, middling 6d, ordinary and Ewes of
small size s.fd down to 3d hut chiefly at antecedent prices. From
the very heavy market to-day there has been a great number of
beasts left unsold, of small and very ordinary quality as well as a
good few sheep. Number of Cattle 1953, Sheep 6651.
