LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 27.

Beyond a moderate quantity of Irish Wheat and Oats,
the arrivals of Grain into tit's port from any quarter since
our report of the 20th instant have been light, but of
Flour from Canada and the United States together, we
have to note a further good supply.
By the offic:al return from the Customs, the quantity of
folei3O Wheat on which the 18s. duty was paid here last
week, was 16598 qrs. as stated in the table below.
Exclusive of a few showers which have fallen partially,
the weather in this part of the district has been mostly
favourable since Friday ; and bring exceedingly fine to-day,
a considerable portion of the wheat crop around us is now
being saved.

This morning's market was attended by a moderate
number of town buyers, but few from the country. There
was a slow, limited sale for Wheats, and most &scrip.
tions of Foreign receded in value Id. to 2d. per 70ibs. ;
a parcel or two of new Irish Red brought 7s. to 7s. 3d.,
and one of mixed a trifle more.

Barley and Malt in slow request at previous rates.
Beans nearly supported our last currency, upon a tri-
fling demand.

Some new Irish Oats brought 23. 10d. per 451b5., and
new Oatmeal 255. to 255. 6d. per load : extreme rate for
old Meal, 21s. 6d.

CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 30.

The duties upon. Beans and Pease are respectively advanced
this week to 7s GI, and reduced on Rye to Gs lid per qr.
We have scarcely any Grain fresh in beyond a parcel or two
of Wheat and Barley from the Baltic ; and of Canadian or other
Flour the supply to hand since Monday is comparatively mode-
rate.

Aided by as fine weather as possible during the present week,
the Wheat er,:p in this vicinity is principally secured. and ex-
cepting some portiun, in the first instance hurried together ra-
ther too early, the condition is expected to pri-ve good, and the
yield abundant.

Of the Wheat harvest. even in the more backward districts of
this country, and especially in Ireland, the accounts we receive
are equally favcurable ; which have conduced to render buyers
here extremely cautious, we have to report throughout the in-
terval from Tuesday, a very languid trade. but in no wise any
material change from the currency of our last eirculir.
In the absence of any extensive buyers at our Cern- exchange
to.day, and having a considerable show of free Foreign Wheats
upon the market from Granary, importers were induced to sub-
mit to a decline of 3d to 4d per i"i s lb for all qualities, except very
prime high mixed Danzig. and succeeded in effecting sales to a
very limited amount only. The farmers being exclusively en.
gaged in clearing up the harvest, few or no samp es 01 country
Wh: at appeared this morning, and but one cr two small lit:
of Irish nev-, which realized tis le per 70 lb. Home made and
Irish Flour. neing also extremely difficult to sell, receded 1 s per
sack, and all brands of Canadian and states Flour were offered
with little effect at an abatement of 6d per barrel. In bond,
h )wei,gr, about 3000 barrels of the latter changed hands at
to 18s. and sour is held under lock at tss per barrel.
Bailey, Malt, Beans and Peas 3, although apparently li tie no-
ticed. remained stationary in value.
Oats. upon a very limited supply, seemed to be the only ar-
ticle which met a fair inquiry, and commanded the full rates of
Tuesday. Oatmeal, notwithstanding, declined sd per 240 lb, at
which a moderate quantity was disposed of.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 30.
The weather during this week has been very fine for harvest
operations; with the continu ,nee of such a few days longer_
nearly the whole of the Wheat in this district will be se ured in
the finest order. The market to-day has been exceedingly dull;
a few samples of new Wheat were taken off e rly at a reduction
of is to as per quarter, but old must be noted fully 3s per qr
lower. In Barley no material alteration. Oats and Shelling
maintain their value, but Beans have declined is per quarter.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 31.
Under the influence of the finest weather the Corn and Flour
trade throughout the past week has been exceedingly dull : in
the t;idiug business done for the supply of immediate consump.
tion, buyers have bec n men by holders, and prices
have tended e own ards

The same has teen the case, not only in the markets cf this
di,trict, but throughout the kingdom.
At our Exchange this morning nothing is done in any article
but for the supply of pressing wailts. We reduce our quotations
for Wheat 4d per bushel; Flour fully Is per •ack anti barrel;
and Oattneal 6d to Is per load. Oats, Malt and Beans without
alteration. _ _ _

No irw English Wheat offering : Irish, of fine quality, 7s per
70th.; Oatmeal 24s to 25s per load.
It may now be calculated that three-fourths of the harvest of
the Uuited El ugdom is secured.
