LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 27.
Beyond a moderate quantity of Irish Wheat and Oats,
the arrivals of Grain into this port from any quarter since
our report of the 20th instant have been light, but of
Flout- from Canada and the United States together, we
have to note a further good supply.
By the offic:al return from the Customs, the quantity of
foreign Wheat on which the IBs. duty was paid here last
week, was 16598 cgs. as stated in the table below.
Exclusive of a few showers which have fallen partially,
the weather in this part of the district has been mostly
favourable since Friday ; and being exceedingly fine to-day,
a considerable portion of the wheat crop around us is now
being saved.

This morning's market was attended by a moderate
number of town buyers, but few from the country. There
was a slow, limited sale for Wheats, and most descrip.
tions of Foreign receded in value id. to 2d. per 70Ibs. ;
a parcel or two of new Irish Red brought 7s. to 7s. 3d.,
and one of mixed a trifle more.
Barley end Malt in slow request at previous rates.
Beans nearly supported our last currency, upon a tri-
fling demand.

Some new Irish Oats brought 23. 10d. per 451b5., and
new Oatmeal 253. to 253. 6d. per load : extreme rate for
old Meal, 21s. 61

The duties upon Beans and Pease are respectively advanced
this week to 76 6d. and reduced on Rye to Gs od per qr.
We have scarcely any Grain fresh in beyond a parcel or two
of Wheat and Barley from the Baltic; and of Canadian or other
Flour the supply to hand sine, Monday is comparatively mode-
rate.

Aided by as fine weather tl3 possible during the present week.
the Wheat crop in this vicinity is principally secured, and ex-
cepting* some portion, in the first instance hurried together ra-
ther too early, the condition is expected to prove good, and the
3 ield abundant.

Of the Wheat harvest, even in the more backward districts of
this country, and especially in Ireland, the accounts we receive
are equally favcurable ; which have conduced to render buyers
here extremely cautious, we have to report throughout the in-
terval from Tuesday, a very languid trade, but in no wise any
material change from the currency of our last Circular.
In the absence of any extensive buyers at our Corn-exchange
to-day. and having a considerable show of free Foreign Wheats
upon the market from Granary, importers were induced to sub-
rdit to a decline of 3d to 411 per ,t 1 lb for all qualities, except very
prime high mixed Danzig. and succeeded in effecting sales to a
very limited amount only. The farmers being exclusively en-
gaged in clearing up the harvest, le.: or no samp es or country
Who at appeared this morning, and but one or two small let;
of Irish new-, which realized Os I o per 70 lb. Home made and
Irish Flour. being also extremely difficult to sell, receded Is per
sack, and all brands of Canadian and States Flour were offered
with little effect at an abatement of 6d per barrel. In bond,
h iwever, about 3000 barrels of the latter changed hands at I7a
to 18s. and sour is held under lock at iss per barrel.
Bailey, Malt, Beans and ?ease,, although apparently li tle no-
ticed, remained stationary in value.

Oats. upon a very limited supply, seemed to be the only an.
tide which met a fair inquiry, and commanded the full rates of
Tuesday. Oatmeal, notwithstanding, declined 3d per 240 lb, at
which a moderate quantity was disposed of.
