WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, OCT. 15.
Our arrivals of Wheat are large to-day, a good portion of which
is New ; for the latter the sale is very difficult, and, where pressed,
rather lower prices must be taken; Old, on the contrary, is Is per
quarter dearer than on this day se'nnight. Fine Barley fetches as
much money, but our malsters pay no attention to other sorts.
Oats and Shellings are rather higher. Beans steady. No variation
in other articles.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 18.
The actual consumptive demand for Butter continues trilling ; at
the same time we may state that holders are very generally con-
fident that prices will not be lower for the residue of the season ;
our last quotations are therefore fully supported. We notice some
improvement in the pickled Butter market, and are of opinion that .
an advance of is to 2s per cwt. pretty commonly obtainable.
There is not any visible alteration in the currency or consumption
of barrelled provisions. A tew small lots of new Bacon have ap-
peared, for which sss to 60s is asked.

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, OCTOBER 15.
(From the Circular of Messrs. Dawson 4- Hance.)
Our public sales of Colonial and other Wools commenced yes-
terday and closed this evening, and although there was a con-
siderable attendance of the trade, yet we marked the absence of
many influential buyers.
The New South Wales Wools sold with tolerable spirit, but de-
cidedly lower than in our August sales, or in the London sales of
last month.
The other descriptions of Foreign Wool went off very languidly,
and for the most part, muck lower than the rates, which have been
for some time obtained by private contract.
The best qualities of East India and Buenos Ayres Wools ob-
tained full rates, whilst the inferior burry and seedy descriptions of
both, realised prices, which in many instances will not cover even
freight and charges. This result must direct attention to the
washing, cleaning and picking of the Wool before shipment,
which alone will render these wools profitable to the importers
and more agreable to both brokers and consumers.
We do not recollect so large a collection of trash being offered
for sale at any period, its character may be estimated from our quo-
tations and the langour which prevaded the room as soon as the
sale of the fine Wools terminated.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 15.
The duty on Foreign Wheat has advanced to 20s. Bd., on
Pease to ss. per quarter, on Flour to 12s. sd. per barrel. and
upon all other Foreign Grain is increased one step over the
rates payable in the week ending yesterday. The impost on
British Colonial Wheat is now ss. per quarter, and on Flour
3s. per barrel.
The arrivals from abroad continue moderate ; those from
Ireland are a little on the increase, and we have to notice
since Tuesday several thousand quarters of Wheat coastwise,
which will shortly be followed by a fair supply of this Grain
now on the passage from London ; the latter, however, is not
likely to be repeated, in any material quantity, for the pre-
sent at least.
The general transactions within the past two days have
been rather unimportant, though we cannot state any dimi-
nution of firmness on the part of holders, and prices have
been very fully supported for all articles of the trade, the ad-
vancing duties and the decrease which a large demand has
effected in our stocks of Wheat and Flour during the last
few weeks, giving a very steady tone to the market, which a
continuance of wet and cold weather, as advised from various
parts of the country, has also tended to strengthen.
This morning we have had a limited attendance of buyers,
and the sales of Wheat on a corresponding scale, though at
the full currency of Tuesday, except for new Irish parcels,
which, from their inferior condition, are offered 2d to 3d per
bushel cheaper, with little effect.
Flour was in fair request at the rates of Tuesday. Little
passing in Beans and Peas to-day, and the value unaltered.
In Oats scarcely any business occurred, but they are held
steadily for late prices.
Since our last several purchases of Oatmeal have been
made for keeping over, and the value of both new and old
may be stated 6d per load higher.
