LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 10.
In addition to the supplies received up to Friday, we
have to note several parcels of new Wheat, with a mode-
rate increase of Flour from Ireland, but of other produce
thence very little has come to hand since this day week ;
while the arrivals Coastwise, during that time, consist
chiefly of a fair quantity of Barley and Malt, the' former
foreign, via London. From Canada we have to report
750 qrs. Wheat and 11,204 barrels of Flour; and from the
Baltic direct, a tolerable import of Wheat, Barley, and
Pease, with a cargo of Beans from Malta.
We have had no rain here since Friday last, exclusive of
a few slight showers early this morning, which, as the day
has turned out fine, prove rather beneficial to this part of
the country than otherwise.
Having a good attendance of buyers at our Corn Ex-
change to-day, and the millers, who have been waiting for
supplies of Irish new Wheat, purchasing rather freely of
the best descriptions, such were mostly cleared at the re-
duced rates of Friday ; and farmers new, of which many
good samples were shown, moved off tolerably at a simi-
lar decline. Foreign free Wheats also, commanding a
fair inquiry, several parcels were taken for investment, as
well as for consumption, at about 2d. per 70 lbs. below the
currency of Tuesday last. Irish Flour met a dull sale at
a decline of is. to 2s. per sack, and numerous parcels of
inferior Canadian were pressed on very low terms; the
best sweet brands, however, upon a fair demand, nearly
supported late prices. States Flour, in bond, has found
some buyers at 16s. 6d. to 17s. for sweet, and 14s. per
barrel for sour.

Oats were steady in value at the quotations of this day
week, and Oatmeal was in improved request at an ad--
vance of 3d. to 6d. per 240 lbs.
In other articles little or no change.

CORN
_EXCHANGE, SEPTEMBER 13.

The only change in the duties this week is a decline in the
impost on Foreign Beans at 6s. 6d. per quarter.
A tolerable quantity of Wheat, Oatmeal, and Flour forms the
principal import into this place from Ireland since Monday, be-
sides which, we have to note a fair quantity of States and Cana-
dian Flour, with some fresh arrivals of Grain from the Baltic, as
stated below.

From the close of our last market to this date, the weather
here has been generally fine, and after some interruption to the
harvest in the North, during part of last week,it is now said to
be progressing favourably there.
Since the prices of Wheat have receded to their present low
position here, the trade has become more steady, the millers
having bought with less reserve ; and while several parcels of
Foreign have been taken as investments, Irish new, now ar-
riving daily, has mostly found buyers at our last currency.-
Canadian Flour has also been in moderate request, superior
brands at full prices, and secondary qualities on previously low
terms.- In other articles, however, the transactions, within
the past two days, have been unimportant.
Our market this morning having been well attended by town
and caintry buyers, the Wheat trade remained tolerably firm,
and, in the absence of an adequate supp'y of English and Irish
new, superior kinds were in fair demand at an advance of Id. to
2d. per 701 b, andthe lower qualities of each maintained our last
currency ; sales of Foreign Wheat likewise were effected to a
moderate extent, in partial cases at nearly a similar amend-
ment, but were chiefly confined to middling samples of Mediter-
ranean, most descriptions of Baltic remaining stationary in va-
lue.--- Good brands of Canadian and duty paid States Flour
continued to move rather freely into the hands of consumers at
late prices, whilst Irish was in slow request, on the terms last
noted. .

In—Barley, Beans, and Pease, little business was apparent,
without any decided change in value.
Oats, upon a very limited supply, supported former prices;
and Oatmeal, commanding a ready sale, the best cut, of old
were the turn dearer.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, SEPT. 10.
We have had rather a short supply of Wheat at market to-
day, and the dealers were enabled in consequence to obtain an
advance on new of Is. per quarter over Friday's prices. Old
was also i❑ request at a similar improvement. Barley nominal.
Oats, Shelling, and Beans remain as last week.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 13.
Harvest operations in this district have been a little protracted
by showery weather during the past week, but the great bulk
of the corn is secured in the best possible condition. The
quality and produce of the Wheat crop is highly spoken of, but
Barley and Oats are not expected to yield so well as had be, n
previously anticipated. The price of new Wheat to-day has
advanced I s per quarter; old has also been in demand, at an
advance of is. A New samples of new Barley have been on the
market to-day, and sold at 355. Oats, Shellings, and Beans,
without alteration.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. 9.
The supply of Beasts was good for the time of the year, and,
mostly of very excellent quality : the trade for them was tole-
rably steady, at fully the prices of this day se'nnight. The
numbers of Sheep were tolerably extensive, while the inquiry
fcr them was rather better than last week, and late prices were
fully supported. The sale Er Lamb was very inactive, yet we
can notice no alteration i❑ prices. Calves in moderately good
supply, and prime descriptions met a steady inquiry at full
prices : in other kinds very little done. rigs in fair supply and
heavy inquiry at previous rates. Beef, per stone of 8 lb, 2s 6d
to 3s led; Mutton, 2s 8d to 48 0d; Veal, 3s 4d to 4s sd; Pork,
3s 051 to Is 1,,d; Lambs, 35 4d to 4s Bd. Number of Cattle at
market: Beasts, 3,217; Sheep and Lambs, 33,070; Calves,
151 ; Pigs, 370.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 14.

More firmness has marked the course of the trade during the
past week, and prices have declined to a point, which seems to
be considered safe, we have had a steady sale for each article at
rates which, though asked, could on this day week be regardedl
as 1 ttle better than nominal.

The same observations apply to the Wakefield and Liverpool
markets of yesterday.
Our Exchange this morning is well attended, and Wheat, both
old and new, meets a fair sale at an advance of about 2d per
bushel on the rates of our last. Extra qualities of English and
Irish Flour are scarce, and is per sack higher, whilst good
general descriptions are fully as dear. Canadian, of which
there again a large import, goes off slowly at late prices. The
value of good new is much the same as that of old. Old and
new Oats fully support previous value. There is considerable
enquiry for old Meal for feeding, at an advance of 3d to 6d per
load. The small quantity of new coming forward is retailed
off at our quotations. Malt and Beans firm at former prices.
