LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 8

Since Tuesday last the imports of Wheat and Flour from foreign
ports have been to a fair extent, but from Ireland and Coastways
very moderate, and although may showers have fallen during the
past week, which must have impeded the farmers iu securing their
grain in proper condition, the temperature has been colder, with
some wind, so that reaping has continued daily, and upon the whole
the weather has not been very unfavourable.

The stocks of the millers and dealers having been pretty well
reduced, they have been more free purchasers in the latter part of
the past week, awl considering the large quantity of foreign Wheat
and Flour now free, the decline has been less than expected, about
3d to 4d per 70Ib, and about 1 s per barrel ; Oats have also declined I d
to ad per £45, and Oatmeal 2s to as per 2401 b ; in other articles
not much alteration; the quantity of new Wheat and Oats which
has yet appeared, either from our own farmers or from Ireland, is
so trifling, that no opinion can be formed decidedly either as to
quantity or future prices ; new English Wheat 9s to 9s 6d per 701 b,
new Oats as 10d to 4s per 451 b, new Oatmeal 56s to 3ss per 2401 b.
Our anticipations as to the averages were fully realised on Friday
last, by a reduction in the duties on V% heat from foreign ports to
2s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to I s lid per barrel, at which it is
estimated that about 850,000 quarters of Wheat, and about 170,!,00
barrels of Flour, now in, bond, or on board ships in ports in the
United Kingdom, will be released for home use; of which about
140,000 quarters of the former, and about 150,000 barrels of the
latter are in this port; the consequences of such a quantity let
loose by the operations of the Corn-laws all at one time nu the
home markets, in the face of harvest, it is not easy to foresee ! The
duty is likewise reduced is 6d per quarter on oats and on Rye—on
other Grain no alteration.

Notwithstanding the circumstances above alluded to, the dul-
ness and decline in 111,rket lane yesterday, with a continuance of
very fine weather during the last few days, we have experienced
at this day's market a more active demand for Flour, and con.
siderable sales were made at fully the prices of Friday last, and

which in some-instances were a little exceeded; tor all other
articles in the trade, sales were but very languid at about the de-
cline above mentioned.
