CORN EXCHANGE.-FiuDAT.

The duty has again advanced on Foreign Wheat to 18s. per
quarter, before which the imports at hand were monthly
cleared; on Oats it is raised to 7s, Rye to los. 6d. per quarter,
Flour to lOs Od per barrel ; that on Colonial Wheat and Flour
to 14; per quarter. and ss per barrel, being the highe t rates
chargeable under the existing law, which expires on the 10th
proximo.

Exclusive of 1635 qrs. of Wheat and 280 qrs. Peas from the
Bat ic, with 1100 qrs of oats from Archangel, we have no arri-
vals to note from abroad ; and beyond a moderate quantity of
Wheat and Oatmeal from Ireland, the supplies thence and coast-
wise have been extremely small since Tuesday ; from which
period the trade here. on the whole, has ruled steady, though
with less animation. than was previously observable.
Cur market this morning, although tolerably well attended
by local dealers, hot fewer country buyers than of late, appeared
in general to exhibit much less activity than we have recently
had occasion to notice, which may be mainly accounted for, by
the increasing supplies of new grain direct from the growers.
rendering the milers sonavvrli t less dependent on Foreig,
Wheats than heretofore; the demand for these descriptions
was therefore upon a limited scale to-day, but without produ-
cing any perceptible variation from our last quotations. Irish
and English new Wlieats, however, were in moderate request,
and fully supported their previous value. Flour, being scarce,
English and Irish were taken freely by consumers, at an ad-
vance of is. per sack, and St,tes as well as Canadian, of which
there is very little to offer, may be considered relatively dearer.
In Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease there was no business ap-
parent to alter the currency stated in our last report.
Oats. though , till in short supply, were in limited demand at
late prices; of Oatmeal, however, several tolerably large parcels
were disposed of to Yorkshire buyers, on terms nearly equal to
those previously noted

PRICES OF GRAIN

BTRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, SEPT. 27.
During the present week, holders of English Wheat have de
manded an advance of is to 2s per quarter, which millers re-
luctantly paid in some instances, but were disposed to purchase
freely at last week's rates. For Foreign a similar rise was
required, and secondary qualities were more in request. In
Malting Barley, not much passing. Grinding taken slowly, at
former prices. Oats maintain last week's currency. The same
remark applies to Beans and Peas.

LIVERPOOL HIDE & SKIN MARKET. Sp:Pr. 29.
These was a heavy supply of Hides and Skins at market to-
day—on the former there was a slight reduction, but for the
latter there was a very brisk demand, at au improveinent in
prices. Hides. 7olb and upwards, 4d ; all under 71db, 31tt to :lid ;
Segs 24111, and Bulls ad per lb. Sheep Skins, Irish and Leicester,
2s 3d to 28 gd ; Cheviots, is 6d to 2s 3d ; Scotch Is to is 4d. No
alteration in Veal Skins—heavy 7d and light 5d per lb.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, SEPT. 29.
The market has not been so brisk to-day as we have had to
note of late. but fine samples of New Wheat, being scarce, have
commanded an adva ce of is per qr., whilst secendary sorts and
Old have met slow sale at last week's pr.ces. The ,upply of
New Barley is small ; the few samples offered met a ready sale
at 33s to 355. In Oats there is no material alteration, but the
demand for Shellings was rather better. Beans are heavy sale,
and the turn cheaper.
