LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 27.

Beyond a moderate quantity of Irish Wheat and Oats,
the arrivals of Grain into this port from any quarter since
our report of the 20th instant have been light, but of
Flout from Canada and the United States together, we
have to note a further good supply.
By the offi&al return from the Customs, the quantity of
foreign Wheat on which the ISs. 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 being 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 descrip-
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 2s. 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 6d, and reduced on Rye to Gs 6d per qr.
We have scarcely any Grain fre.h 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 crop in this vicinity is principally secured, and ex-
cepting some portion, in the first instance hurried together ra-
ther too early, the condition is expected to prove good, and the
yield abundant.

a very languid trade, but In no wise any
material change from the currency of our last Circular.
In the absence of any extensive buyers at our Corn-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 76 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 o/ country
Wh, at appeared this morning, and but one or two small Icti
of Irish new, which realiLed 6s 10 per 70 lb. Home made and
Irish Flour, being also extremely difficult to sell, receded Is per
sack, and all brands of Canadian and States Flour were offered
with little effect at an abatement of 6d per barrel. In bond,
hlwever, about 3000 barrels of the latter changed hands at 17s
to 18s, and sour is held under lock at lss per barrel.
Bailey, Malt, Beans and Pease, although apparently Ii 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 3d per 240 lb, at
which a moderate quantity was disposed of.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, AUGUST 29.
At this day's market there was a fair supply of Wheat, which
was disposed of at a decline of Is to 2s per quarter. Barley,
Oats, and Beans unaltered, with a good demand for each.
White grinding Peas realized 15s per 196 lb. The retail price
of Flour reduced 3s 4d per sack.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 30.
The weather during this week has been very fine for harvest
operations ; with the continuance of such a few days longer
nearly the whole of the Wheat in this district will be secured 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 2s 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 iu
the trifling business done for the supply of immediate consump-
tion, buyers have been willingly mec by holders, and prices
have tended downwards.
The same has ceen the case, not only in the markets of this
district, but throughout the kingdom.
At our Exchange this morning nothing is done in any article
but for the supply of pressing wants. We reduce our quotations
for Wheat 4d -per bushel ; Flour fully Is per ,ack and barrel;
and Oatmeal 6d to is per load. Oats, Malt and Beans without
alteration.
No new English Wheat offering : Irish, of fine quality, 78 per
701 b.; Oatmeal 24s to 25s per load.
It may now be calculated that three-fourths of the harvest of
the United Ki ngdom is secured.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 30.
The demand up to this morning was good and tegnlar
throughout the week, and the market consequently assumed
a steadier position, recovering in a great degree the depression
we noticed last week—the quotations for lair qualities of Up-
land, New Orleans, and Mobile being advanced it per lb. We do
not think there is this advance on all qualities, particularly to-
day, but very extreme rates were current up to the close of last
night. There is no change in Surat or Brazil, and Egyptians
are without improvement. The public sale of Sea Island has
gone off very flatly, and out of :131 bags white, only 110 were
sold at 13d to 1434c1 ; t 53 stained were also offered, but only 179
changed hands at 4d to 7d. These prices show a decline upon
previous rates of id per lb. 500 American and 15 ,o Surat have
been taken on speculation this week ; and for export 49.59 Ame
rican, 150 Egyptian, 200 Pernam, and loos Surat. 4910 bales of
American and 169 Pernams were forwarded into the country
this month unsold. The marke is heavy to-day, and the sales
are about sOOO bales of all kinds. Th packet account of the
15th instant is con-idered favourable for the g: owing crop in the
states. . . _ _

The import this week is 9,793 bags, and the sales reach
33,770 bags.
