LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 15

Since Tuesday last the imports of Wheat and Flour, from foreign
ports, have been pretty considerable, but from Ireland and coast.
ways they are very moderate; and having had frequent heavy
showers all over this district, the operations of harvest have pro
gressed slowly, but as the temperature has been cool, and drying
winds have occasionally prevailed, it is probable that the crops,
still out, have not sustained much injury.
Notwithstanding the release from Bond for home use of nearly
the quantity of Wheat and Flour stated in our last circular, the
demand has been very good throughout the past week, and the
prices of both articles have been very fully supported; in some
instances a little increase has been demanded by many of the im -
porters, seeing that the duty is again advancing; these has been a
great dulness in sales of all other articles in the Corn trade, at
about our quotations.
The duty on Wheat from foreign ports is since Friday increased
to 6s ad per qr, and on Flour to 4s o:id per brl, which will be paid
on some large parcels which have since arrived, apprehensive of a
further advance in the duty next Friday, there is no alteration in
the duties on any other article; the value of bonded Grain is
nominally as if free deducting the duty.

At this day's market we have had a very good attendance of
millers and dealers, who purchased to a fair extent of every article
in the trade at about' the prices of this day week, except for Oats
and Oatmeal, which were sold lower—ld to 2d per 451 b on the
former, and is to 25 per .2401 b on the latter. A little increase on
the quotations of fine Wheat proceeds more from the superior
qualities of old Wheat offered for sale, than from any actual ad.
