CORN MARKETS

LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 29.—During the greater part of the
week, we have had a repetition of frequent heavy showers,
accompanied by high gales of wind, beating down the Corn
where it is not already cut, and impeding harvest work for the
time; in this immediate circle, however, the main bulk of the
Grain crops was previously in shock, and, as the weather is
cool, no appearance of sprouting or any material damage is
yet discoverable here. In the northern districts of this coun-
try and Ireland, much rain is also stated to have fallen recently,
and a favourable change is now anxiously desired : meanwhile,
even adverse weather, and at so critical a period too, seems to
produce no improvement in the trade, prices in most of the
English and Irish markets being still reported to incline rather
downwards, millers and other consumers appearing to regulate
their proceedings more by the anticipation of Foreign impor-
tations than by the fate of our own harvest. Our supplies
coastwise and from Ireland since Monday last are quite insig-
nificant, and the arrivals from abroad very moderate, except
States and Canadian Flour, of which we have to note a further
liberal accession, amounting, with the import specified en
Tuesday, to upwards of 100,600 barrels in the last ten days.
From the close of Tuesday's market to this date, a little better
feeling was evinced here to Wheat, Flour, and Indian Corn, of
which occasional sales took place, but no change in prices nor
extensive operations in any branch of the trade. Notwith-
standing the weather still bears an unsettled aspect, no excite-
ment was apparent in any department of trade at our market
to-day. Having no supplies of new Wheat at hand, the sales
of that grain this morning were restricted chiefly to limited
parcels of good Foreign, which barely sustained our previous
quotations. Choice brands of American Flour, meeting some
inquiry, and being offered less freely by importers, such fully
supported the current rates of Tuesday, whilst the large variety
of stale and inferior grades moved slowly at irregular prices;
and French upon a n.oderate scale on the terms last noted.
Barley, Malt, and Pease, continuing to attract very little atten-
tion, were severally rather depressed in value. Beans, in-
cluding Egyptians, were offered with little effect at a decline of
6d. per qr. Oats, being extremely scarce, were the turn
dearer, and Oatmeal fully as high as before, the stock of old
being nearly if not wholly exhausted. Indian Corn on the spot

MANCHESTER, AUGUST 30.—Business here has shewn
rather more steadiness during the past week, and we have a
quiet market to-day. The few samples of new and fresh old
Wheats offering meet moderate sale at last week's rates. Fresh
Flour is by no means plentiful, and brings full prices : for old
qualities there is scarcely any sale, and no accurate estimate of
their value can be given. Oats and Oatmeal steady at former
rates. Beans Is. per qr. cheaper.
PRESTON, AUGUST 30.—The unsettled state of the weather
has interrupted harvest operations this week, but no serious
damage is yet reported as done to the crops in this district.
Although the trade is not so sensitive under free importation as
under protective duties, still, from the apprehension that the
harvest may be a protracted one, the merchants generally have
held for a slight improvement in prices, which, however, has in
most instances been effectually resisted by the dealers, but a
fair business has resulted from day to day at the extreme rates
of this day se'nnight. The stock of old grain, as well as of oat-
meal, is so very insignificant, that last Saturday's quotations
for each remain unaltered. Flour, too, is stationary. In
another week foreign wheat will be the only article we shall
have to notice in our quotations of old produce. We had a
good supply of new Wheat from our neighbouring growers at
this day's market, the bulk of which was in fine ennditin.

at 17s. 6d. to 19s. per 2201135. No new Oats offering. New Oat-

supply noth English and Irish manufacture commanded 275. 6d.

WAKEFIELD, AUOUST 29.—This week the arrivals are
much smaller than for some weeks past. There is less Wheat
pressing on the market to-day, and a steady demand for good
fresh qualities of old at last week's prices, while ordinary sam-
ples are still neglected; new does not yet come freely, and
bears a high relative value. Oats and Shelling are in retail de-
mand at the prices of last Friday. Beans fully as dear. In
other arricles no change.

appearance, although no great quantity of rain has fallen, still
harvest operationsitave consequently been retarded later than
was at one time calculated upon; and not a single sample of
the new crop was at market today; the supply of old was also
limited. The demand ruled good, and all was cleared off at
last Saturday's rates. Coastwise the arrivals are pretty good,
but small from abroad. Owing to the state of the weather,
there was rather more inclination to purchase, and the currency
of this day se'nnight was fully maintained for both English and
Foreign qualities; but the business transacted was not to a
large extent. Grinding Barley in good demand at fully late
rates. English and Scotch Oats, being now comparatively
scarce, cold quite as well as on this day week; but Foreign
continue difficult to quit. Flour sells slowly, but prices remain
the same. In other grain no alteration in value can be noted.
WISBECH, AUGUST 30.—There are so few samples of either
new or old Wheat at our market to-day, that we call the trade
steady for all kinds of Grain.

BELFAST, AU UST 29.—The grain trade has been quite
languid since our last, and although the reports of the potato
disease are very serious from some districts, there is less spe-
culative feeling this week than last, and sales have been to a
very moderate extent. A few buyers of Indian corn at a dis
tance have appeared; but for Corn or Wheat on the spot, these
