MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Arousr 5,

The weather during the week has been fine though not of a
settled character; and business in this and the neighbouring
Markets, has consequently been restricted to the supply of
present wants. The prospects of the harvest, so far, do not as
a whole, promise more than an ordinary result, if that, as
- rds either quantity or quality. We had a return of rain
last night and this morning, with a declining barometer. Our
M •ket to-day is quiet: there is no stock of anything. and the
current arrivals of home produce both here and at Liverpool,
are no more than sufficient for the consumptive demand, which
takes all articles MY slowly at the rates of our last. Potatoes
are brought to market in great quantity, and of good quality
at low prices.
