LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 25.

With the exception of heavy rain in the nights of Wednesday
and Thursday last, the whole of the past week has been favourable
for the operations of harvest, and a considerable quantity of Grain
has been secured in good condition ;—notwithstanding which, and
the release of bonded Wheat and Flour for home use, fully to the
extent stated in our two last circulars, the demand has continued
very steady here, and all the surrounding Corn markets, and sales
to a large extent have been made to.our own millers and dealers,
and to those in distant markets, of fine British and Foreign Wheat
(chiefly of the latter,) rit,fully last quotatons, Which in same in-
stances have been exceeded by 2d to 3d per lb.---the finest white
Foreign Wheat have reached lOs 9d, red 10s, and a small parcel of
new English white from Suffolk, (crop- 1838,) of very fine quality,
and in very good condition, Ils per iOlb. For Flour, also, there
has been a better sale at an advance of Is to 2s per quarter oc-
curred on Wheat in the Yorkshire and London markets of the
past week and at Manchester on Saturday there was a fair demand
for Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from this port.
The ireports of Grain from Ireland and Coastways continue to
be very trivial, and very little of the new crop has as yet appeared.
(the Wheat Coastway s is chiefly Foreign, and a good deal more
will thus come into port, having put in to the ports on the east
coast, to save duty ; ) and but for the very opportune and fortunate
supply by the release of bonded Wheat and Flour, this district
would have experienced very serious distress, our stocks of old free
Wheat being almost exhausted.
The duty on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat from foreign
ports is this week increased Is 6d per qr.—and on Wheat and Flo it
It is now again -increasing. On Friday last the duty on Wheat be-
came 28 8d per qr. and on Flour Is 71d pet' barrel, and on Friday
next there is every probability of its being increased two steps,
passing over 6s id and becoming lOs 8d per quarter and 6s 5d per
barrel, and of rapidly further increasing, so that a great deal of
Wheat and Flour note on the passage will form a renewed stock in
bond, and may become a subject of serious discussion in the next
session of Parliament ; for all other Grain in bond there has been
but very little demand, and the value thereof is nominally as an-
nexed:

At this day's market the advance above-mentioned was fully de-
manded, and in consequence of the improvement in Mark-lane
ypsterdav a small further increase in the value of fine fresh Foreign
Wheat was/obtained. and sales to a pretty fair extent effected ; for
all other articles in the trade there was a limited demand at fully
our last quotations, which were in some instances a little exceeded ;
we have had a good deal of rain since Saturday and the weather
appears unsettled.
