CORN E

:CHANGE. AUGUST 16.

The weather in this district has been uniformly fine since
Monday last, and the reports from most parts of tl►e country
bearing the same character, with accounts of the favourable
progress of harvest in the south, and the more early portions
of the midland and northern counties, the tone of business
here has naturally remained very uninteresting, and with few
exceptions the tendency of prices, in the English markets held
during the week, is reported rather lower. We continue to
receive indifferent statements of the probable yield and quality
of Wheat in England as well as Ireland : those respecting
Potatoes from the latter country are rather ameliorated since
our last, though from the general discolnuration of leaf and
stem, it appears still very uncertain to what extent the disease
may further spread itself in the tuber.
Ot British and Foreign produce the arrivals into this port
since Monday last are altogether trivial, as will be observed on
reference to our import note annexed.
Upon a very slender attendance of the home trade and
scarcely any conntry buyers at our market to-dav, we have to

report an extremely dull and inactive business hi nearly all its
departments. In refraining from pre•sing sales, however, im-
porters of Wheat showed no anxious desire to accept lower
terms, although for any description of English, Irish, or Fo-
reign, we can barely repeat our last quotations.—States and
Canadian, including French and Irish Flour, moved rather
less freely than before, but without any pressure of supply,
each fully maintained its previous value.

Barley, Malt, and Pease were taken sparingly, the transac-
tions being retail only at late prices.—Beans, although in limi-
ted request, were held rather firmly at former rates.--Old Oats
and Oatmeal difficult of sale, but not cheaper. Irish new,
however, of which a few parcels appeared this morning, were
disposed of, the former at 2s. 7d. per 451b5., and the latter at
255. per 2401b5.
Although we have no arrivals of Indian Corn fresh in for to-
day, samples from granary were rather more numerous, and
without any active demand prices receded 6d. per qr. below
the annexed quntations.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
There was a large supply of Beasts at market this day, but
the demand was brisk, owing to a large number of country
buyers purchasing very freely. Rather a small supply of
Sheep, which sold readily at our quotations. Lambs middl►ng
in quality and dull of sale.
