CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 26.

A reduction in the duty on Foreign Peas to 6s 6d per qr. is the
only change effected by the averages this week.
With the cxception of a good supply of United States Flour,
the arrivals into this port since Tuesday are generally rather
moderate in amount; but with a large display of samples
offering d lily from previous importations, much exceeding th
present limited requirements of the trade, most articles, during
the above period, have shown a tendency to recede further in
value.
In the course of the last few days we have had frequent
showers, which being considered favourable to the grain and
root crops generally, and the weath,T having assumed a line
clear aspect again to-day, the features of the Corn trade at this
morning's market, presented no indications of improvement.
The transactions in any descriptions of Wheat, being conse-
quently of a very limited character, and confined to serve the
immediate wants of needy buyers, •prices were very irregular,
in some instances varying little from our last currency, but
mostly at a decl ne of l d to 2d per 701b.—Flour, in like manner,
continued to meet a difficult sale, but the holders of both Irish
and Foreign adhering to our last quotations, no material change
in value was observable.

Barley, Beans and Pease, still commanding very little at-
tention, hardly sustained previous rates ; and Malt was de-
cidedly rather cheaper.

Oats, notwithstanding the supply at hand was extremely
small, appeared to move off very sparingly, and must be noted
id to Id per 451 b lower. Oatmeal, at the same time, was more
neglected than usual, and offered ineffectually at a decline of
3d per `2401b. .

in bond, or afloat, no sales have receutly transpired.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JULY 24.
During the present week the transactions reported in any
description of Grain are extremely limited, and sales could not
be effected to any extent even by submitting to a decline of Is
tons per quarter on Wheat. Oats and Beans, Malt and Barley,
nominally unaltered in value. Grinding qualities about is per
quarter lower. A few forward fields of Wheat and Barley have
been cut, in Worcestei shire and Shropshire, and next week, if
the present forcing weather continue, reaping will be more
general.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 26.
There is a large supply of Wheat, and a very thin attendance
of buyers at this day's market; the business transacted has
been on the most limited scale, and although a decline of is to
2s per quarter would have been submitted to, but few sales could
be effected. All other articles of the trade partake of the general
dullness. There have been some beautiful showers of rain
during the week, with most propitious weather for the coming
harvest

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 23.
The demand for Cotton has been extensive this week, which
closes steadily, though without animation, at an advance of *d.
per lb. from last week's quotations of American. Egyptian is
in improved demand, but very freely offered, and barely supports
former rates. Brazil is also in improved demand, but heavy of
sale. In Surat an extensive busium has been done, but the
import is heavy, and prices are unchanged. The sales of the
week amount to 52,730 bales, including 6400 American and 700
Surat on speculation, and 2200 American and 350 Surat for ex-
port.

COTTON MARKET.-JULY 29.
During the last week the ebbing and flowing of the demand in
our Cottom market has become almost tidal; prices range much
the same as during the previous week. The sales on Friday
were WO bales—on Saturday 4000, and to-day, (Monday,) oniy
350 u, the market doing steadily, but without any dispositio❑ to
effect sales at a sacrifice in price.
