LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 13:

Although our imports since Tuesday last have been only to a
moderate extent, and the weather has continued very unfavourable
for agricultural operations, we have experienced a great dulness
in this and all our country Corn markets during the past week ;
and although our last quotations for the finer descriptions of every
kind of Grain have been steadily demanded, a small reduction of
2d to 3d per 701 b on Wheat. id to ld per 451 b on Oats, Is per 2801 b
on Flour, 6d to is per 2401 b on Oatmeal, has been submitted to on
the few sales effected. “ud all other articles have participated a lit-
tle in this depression here, and in Manchester on Saturday, and
also in the Yorkshire and London Corn markets of the past week.
The only alterations in the duty on Grain iroin Foreign ports this
week is a decrease of is per qr. on Wheat, and 7id per barrel on
Flour; some few sales have been made of bonded Wheat and
Flour at fully the prices quoted, and there is not much of either
offering for sale in bond ; a few parcels of bonded Outs have found
sales for export at 2s 10d to 3s per 451 b ; it is very likely that in
another week or two the lowest dunes will be again payable on
Vi and Flour from British Colonies.
The supplies to this day's market have been considerably in-
creased by arrivals of Wheat, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ire-
land, yesterday ; and the transactions to-day were only to a very
limited extent, although the decline above-mentioned was fully
submitted to.

On the subject of the recent harvest reports are various, and in
some instances contradictory; but the opinions expressed in many
interesting and intelligent letters in the Mark Lane Express, and
by those on whom we have been accustomed to rely, are less so
tint:. usual. In the great influential Corn districts of England to
the south of Birmingham, particularly in those on the south east
coast, and in the south of Ireland, the weather appears to hare
been pretty favourable during the harvest, and the crops of Wheat
are stated to be of very lair quality sad nearly an average in quan-
tity—hut no where are they stated to be a full average, and many
reports state them one-eighth to one-sixth deficient; in this and in
all other districts of England, and generally throughout Scotland,
Ireland and the Isle of Man. the quality, as might have been an-
ticipated from the very ungenial weather which has prevailed
throughout the whole season—deficient of summer heat and sun-
shine—though less injured than usual by being laid or by sprouting,
is shrivelled, ill fed and very inferior, particularly in Ireland, and
the deficienvy is very decidedly stated to be one-fourth, one-third,
and in some places even one-half of an average in quantity, which
it is to he hoped will prove exaggerated. Of Oats, Barley, Beans,
and Peas, reports appear almost every where favourable a,sto quan-
tity and quality, and excepting in backward situations, they hare
been saved in pretty good condition, though it may probably still
be found that the ungenial season has had some effect on these
crops. Hay has been an abundant crop, but not so well saved, aed
th'. weather has not been favourable fur its quality.laTurnips and
Mange! Wurzel- will Once fair average crops; but of Potatoes
reports generally throughout this district, Scotland and Ireland,
are not favourable, either as to quantity or quality ; prices are now
2s Hid to 3s 4d per bushel of 90th, and the weather has been very
unfavourable for securing this most important crop, and for the
winter seed time thus far.

From most of the Corn provinces in the north of Europe, par-
ticularly in the lower ports of the Baltic, accounts are favourable
of their crops generally, and we have seen samples of their new
Wheat of very good quality ; but from Poland they are not so
favourable ; From the Upper Provinces of Canada and from the
United States their (crops are stated to be better tl.au last year,
though not a full average, and of Indian Corn they are reported
very deficient; a very large export of Foreign Wheat took place
from this port to the American Continent early this year, and
nothing but very high prices in this kingdom will induce any
export of. Grain or Flour from thence to us this season, though no
doubt some quantity of Flour will go to the West Indies.
