LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 4.

- _
With the exception of Tuesday and Saturday last, on the after-
noon of which days we bad very heavy rain, the weather during
the past week has been.upon the whole favourable for the progress
of harvest, now partially commencing, but it has been too cold in
the nights and mornings for the growing Wheat, a great portion of
which throughout this district is still far from ripeness ;—the im-
ports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastwise
continue to be very small, and although our stock of free Grain is
in the smallest compass, and have hitherto been very little assisted
by those in bond, our millers and dealers have been purchasers in
the most limited and cautious manner, only for their immediate
wants ; and in the almost certain prospect of the release of all Fo-
reign Wheat and Flour next week, a decline of 9d to Is per 701 b
has been submitted to on all English and Irish Wheat, and though
the chief holders of Wheat in bond decline offering it until free,
purchases might be made thereof at a decline of 3d to 6d per 701 b.
—Oats and Oatmeal very dull and lower, the former 2d per 451 b,
the latter 3s to 4s per 2401 b, and Flour 4s to 5s per 2801 b ; Malt, Bar-
ley, Beans and Pease likewise is to 2s per qr. lower here, and in the
London and Yorkshire markets, and in those all around us of the
past week. The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports is this week
decreased 4s per qr, on Flour 2s 5d per brl, on Barley, Indian
Corn. Buck Wheat, Rye and Beans is 6d per qr ; and on Pease is
3d per qr, and on Friday next, the 7th instant, a further similar
decline will occur in the duties on Wheat and Flour, and it is very

probable that even the lowest duty of is per qr. may then be pay-
able ; a weekly average of 74s 7d with the fractions, will produce
an aggregate of 735, and a duty of Is ; and unless the weekly re-
turn he below 68s 7d, with the fractions, the aggregate must be 725,
and the duty 2s 8d per qr on Wheat ;—in either event all Foreign
Wheat and Flour now in bond may then be considered as free, and
in the immediate prospect thereof—depending also on the weather
at this most critical period, the fluctuations which may occur for
some weeks cannot be confidently anticipated, The supplies of
the week were considerably increased yesterday by arrivals of
Wheat (chiefly Foreign) from London, and at this day's market,
which was very well attended by town and country millers and
dealers, sales of Foreign Wheatto be delivered free on Friday next,
were effected to a fair extent—the finest fresh white at 9s 9d to
lOs 6d per 701 b.—A little new Irish Wheat and Oats very soft and
middling quality appeared, but not sufficient to enable us to judge
of the general quality.—For Oats, Flour and Oatmeal and every
other article in the Corn trade there was very little demand, though
fully the decline above-noted was submitted to. Bonded Wheat
and Flour we consider free, and now quote them nominally ; Oats
in bond the prices are the same as free less the duty ; the weather
is now very fine and seasonable, with an appearance of so con-
tinuing.
