KCHANGE. AUGUST 25.

Since our first report this week the days here have been ex-
ceedingly fine, but unfortunately reversed by extremely heavy
falls of rain each night and morning early, the one
extreme entirely counteracting the effects of the other; whilst
in Ireland the weather is stated to have been very unfavourable
and in some parts of Scotland, during ,the same period, they
begin to complain of much more rain than heretofore, and
under these circumstances the quality at least of the new
Wheats is expected to be inferior to the crop of last year, and
the yield somewhat below an average. Regarding potatoes,
opinions from various districts in the United Kingdom are
still generally unfavourable, but in others rather less despond-
ing, and some of our Irish friends describe the disease by no
means so destructive as in 1846.

The arrivals of English and Irish Wheat into this port since
Monday last are small, those of foreign very moderate, and of
other grain trivial ; of States and Canadian Flour, however, we
have to note a liberal supply amounting to nearly 26,000 brls.
During the interval since Tuesday's market the trade has
been generally quiet; and the weather having heen exceedingly
tine since the early part of yesterday, the buyers of most kinds
of free produce at our Corn Exchange this morning were much
on the reserve; the demand for all descriptions of British and
duty-paid Foreign Wheats, therefore, was limited, and prices,
in some instances, rather easier. Bonded Wheats, notwith-
standing, continued to meet a good inquiry, and business
therein was transacted to a fair extent at our annexed quo-
tations. Irish Flour, being scarce, maintained its previous
value; while States and Canadian, upon a I•etter supply, but
with a large consumption in prospect, declined 6d. per barrel.
Barley, Malt, Beans end Pease, although not in lively
request, steadily supported former prices. Oats, upon a
retail demand, hardly sustained our last currency. Oatmeal,
of which little remains unsold, realised the full rates of Tuesday.
The demand for Indian Corn having in a great degree sub-
sided, the few transactions which occurred to-day were at a
decline of is. to 2s. per 4801 h. Indian Meal, from its scarcity,
commanded Gd. per barrel advance.

PRESTON CORN MARKET, AUGUST 2(.
There was a small supply-of 'Wheat, and sellers at the open-
ing were outrageous in their demands, asking in some cases as
much as ss. per windle of an advance upon the prices of last
week. Ultimately an advance of fully 2s. 6d. per windle was
obtained, at which a clearance was effected. The larger buyers
supply themselves with south country Wheat, which reaches
our markee through the wholesale dealers, the description
being brought on easier terms than from the growers in this
district. Flour also from the same source is taken in preference
to buying Wheat at our market and grinding. Several samples
of New Wheat were on offer to-day; a prime sample of red
fetched 295., and one of white 31s. ; most of the other samples
were in bad condition. We heard of one farmer who housed a
quantity of Wheat at six o'clock yesterday evening, who
thrashed and dressed sewn windles, which were sold at to-
day's market. Be gives a favourable report of the yield.
Flour in our market is fully 3s. per load dearer. Farmers'
Oatmeal, very little change. Irish has, however, advanced
from Is. to 2s. per toad. Oats are from 3d. to 4d. per bushel
dearer. Beans are about Gd. dearer. Butter well supplied, and
a trifle lower.
