LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 17.
The demand has been great throughout the week, both from
the trade and speculators, and a good extent of business conti-
nues to be done for export. Prices have further advanced, and
are now, compared with Friday last, id. per lb. higher for the
common to fair qualities of all descriptions, excepting Surat,
which has not imprOved more than id. per lb. Sea Island
continues in good request, notwithstanding the previous ex-
tensive business, and prices are id. to ad. per lb. dearer for the
ordinary to middling qudlities, chiefly in consequence of the
scarcity of these descriptions, and of good and prime Egyptian.
Exporters have taken 4650 American, 140 Madras, 50 Bengal,
and 2250 Surat, and speculators 27,220 American, 1150 Pernam-

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. Auc. 14.
Augmented arrivals into this port since Friday, added to
those previously inwards, furnish for the week ending yester-
day, a fair quantity of Wheat, Malt, and Flour, Coas-wise and
from Ireland; with a good supply of Indian Corn, Corn Meal,
and Flour from the United States, and a rather liberal accession
of Wheat, Barley, and Rye chiefly from Mediterranean ports,
and the North of Europe.
Upon a limited demand for all kinds of Wheat the prices
have receded 2d. per 701bs. from the rates of Tuesday last.
Flour, attended with a moderate sale, remains unaltered in
value for the best kinds, but inferior sorts are unsaleable.
In Barley, Beans, and Pease we have little alteration to note.
Malt Is. per qr. cheaper, and very (lull sale.
For Oats there was a moderate retail demand, on the terms
of this day week. Old Oatmeal nearly without inquiry, and
the turn lower in value. A small lot of Irish New Oatmeal was
sold at 2Ss. per 2401b5.
There has been a considerable business transacted in Indian
Corn, both on English and Irish account, at an advance of Is.
to 2s. per quarter on the rates of this day se'nnight.
Corn Meal, 1-is per brl.

ULTURAL PRODUCE
AUGUST 18.

CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 17.
The improved aspect of the weather in the early part of this
week, having been shortly interrupted by a recurrence of heavy
showers in frequent succession, no active proceedings were
performable here in harvest work during the last two days,
Otherwise in this vicinity it would have been general in the
course of the week. We bad some rain again this morning,
but the wind veering into the north-west, the day brightens up
and appears more promising. In many parts of this country
and Ireland also unsettled w ather prevailed; whilst in the
more southern counties of England harvest is reported to be
progressing favourably. Various rumours from several parts
of Ireland are in circulation relative to the reappearance of di-
sease in the potato crop, but the accounts on the subject are
extremely partial and contradictory, and up to this time, in
our judgment, no injury is yet sufficiently apparent to create
alarm.
Since Monday last we have received very little produce of any
kind from Ireland; but as with fine weather the deliveries of
new grain are expected to appear at market, our future supplies
thence will naturally increase. The American States, within
the last three days, furnish a fair quantity of Indian Corn, and
from that source, including Canada, we have to note a tolerable
import of Flour and Oatmeal, but no important arrivals of any
article from Europe.
Upon a slender attendance of home and country millers at
this day's market, the operations in any description of either
English or Foreign Wheat were altogether limited in accord-
ance with the temporary requirements of needy buyers, and
although the best qualities of each were held and realized the
terms last noted, the general runs of each-were decidedly ra-
ther easier to purchase.—Good sound brands of States and Ca-
nadian Flour continued to meet a fair demand at the full rates
of Tuesday last, and very choice lots of the former obtained an
.advance of 6d. per barrel, sack Flour at the same time remain-
ing steady in valne.
In Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease very little business was ap-
parent, and prices remained nominally unyaried ; whilst to
Oats and Oatmeal similar remarks are applicable.
On the opening of business this morning, Indian Corn was
held at higher prices than were obtainable; in the course of
market hours, however, au advance of is. per qr. was acquired,
the best yellow bringing 275. to 275. 6d., and pure white 295. to
30s. per 4801b5., at which sales to a fair amout were effected.
