LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 28.

e have had rather too much rain in this district dwine' the past
week,—the weather has of course not been so favourable for Hay,
of which, however, some further quantity has been secured in
pretty fair condition, and, like the week preceding, it has continued
too cold for the season, with very little sunshine, so that the crops
of Grain have progressed very little—except in straw—and appear
as green as they were fourteen clays ago—thus protracting the com-
mencement of harvest ;—Rnd having again moderate imports of
Grain from Ireland and Coastways, sales have continued to be
made more freely to our Millers and Dealers to a fair extent, at an
advance of 2d to 3d per 701hs on Wheat, Is per 2801bs on Flour, Id
per 451bs on Oats, 6d per 2401bs on Oatmeal, and is per quarter on
Barley, Beans, and Pease ;—a similar improvement in prices and
demand occurred also in the markets of Yorkshire, and at Man-
chester on Saturday last, where some small parcels of the finest
Foreign Wheat, lying here in bond, changed hands at 7s 9d to 7s I Id
per lb. The only. alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign
Ports this week is a reduction of 2s per quarter on Wheat, and
Is 21d per barrel on Flour ; and those articles from British Colonies
are now admissible for home consumption at the lowest duties of
6d per quarter on the former, and of 30d per barrel on the latter.
There are not more than about 5000 quarters of Canadian Wheat
in bond in the United Kingdom, of which about 2500 are here,
which are of course now relieved from bond ;—but as there is
every prospect of a further reduction in the duty on Wheat from
Foreign Ports, it is not likely that any one will be so imprudent as
to pay duty thereon for two or three weeks to come—if then
Bonded Wheat, of the finer qualities, has again been an object of
active speculation, and several thousand quarters here, and on the
passage hither, have changed hands at very fully our last quotations,
and in a few instances for very superior qualities at a small ad-
vance ;—Flour in bond is held at an advance of 2s to 3s per barrel;
but for this and for other articles in bond there has been very little
demand.—Yesterday we had an increased speculative spirit for
buying Wheat in bond, and several cargoes changed hands of the
very finest qualities at an advance of 3d to 4d per 701bs, and at this
day's market, to which a little increase in the import 'occurred,
there was snore life in the trade than we have for a long time ex-
perienced ; sales, however, were effected only to a moderate extent,
proceeding as much from the unwillingness of the sellers to offer
for sale, as from that of the buyers, although at an advance since
this day week of 4d to 6d per 701bs on the finest free Wheat, and 3d
to 4,1 on inferior qualities ;3sto 4s per 2801bs on Flour,-2d per 451bs
on Oats, 2s per 2401hs on Oatmeal, and is to Ps per quarter on all
other free Grain, and some few parcels of the finest red Baltic
Wheat in bond reached 8s 6d per 701bs under such circumstances
quotations may vary •, we endeavour to state them as correctly as
possible as under :—the market in M ark-lane yesterday was brisker,
at an advance of 2s per quarter oil free, and 3s per quarter on
bonded Wheat.
