LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Auc. 8

The arrivals of Grain into this port since Tuesday last,
which prove altogether very trivial in amount, are wholly
from our own Coast and Ireland ; the fresh supply of
Flour thence is also comparatively light, and that of Oat-
meal only moderate.

We experienced a sudden change in the weather yester-
day, and a heavy fall of rain for several hours during the
night, which has completely prostrated some of the corn
crops in this locality; but as we do not )et learn that it
has extended beyond the circle of a few miles around us,
it is hoped the effects may not prove extensively injurious.
The depression, however, in many other markets last
week, and the decline in London yesterday, with a better
appearance of the weather this morning, have decidedly
counteracted any tendency to improvement here; on the
contrary, we have to report an extremely dull sale for
every article of the trade, and Wheat of all descriptions
was offered with very little effect at a further abatement
from the reduced rates of Friday ; and from those of this
day week, English and the best qualities of Foreign may
be noted about 3d., and the general runs of Foreign as
well as Irish, 4d. and 6d. per 701bs cheaper, and for some
parcels still lower prices were accepted.
The holders of Irish Flour submitting to a decline of
3s. per sack, this description sold rather more fteely ; but
States and Canadian receding only Is. per barrel, were
taken off very sparingly.

Barley remained unvaried ; hut Malt, Beans, and Pease,
though offered Is. per quarter cheaper, were neglected.
Oats, confirming to come forward in small parcels only
were notwithstanding very unsaleable, and scarcely more
than nominal in value.

Oatmeal likewise seemed to attract very little notice,
though offered at a decline of 6d. per 2401b5. below our
quotations.

We have still to report very limited arrivals of all articles
from our own Coast and Ire'and. ai.d contiue without any fresh
supply either Colonial or Foreign, except 5i qrs. Wheat from
Malta.

There is again a reduction this week in the duties, on Foreign
Wheat to /;s, Barley and Indian Corn to Bs, Rye to 7s 64 per
qr,, and Flour to 1, s 22cl per barrel: on Colonial Wheat to as,
Barley and Indian Corn to is per qr., and Flour to 2s 5d per
barrel : the rates on Wheat and Flour from Conada will pro-
bably come to the lowest point under the present law, and the
imports thence. arriving after the loth October, will be subject
only to the permanently reduced duties provided by the new
act, corning into operation at t .at period.

On V, edoesnay we had a recurrence of rain for a few hours.
but enerally the weather during the past few days has been
very fine, with a much higher temperature, and in early situa-
tions around us the h .rvest is now progressing favourably : the
late decline in our prices has, however. been st.viceeded by some-
what more firmness in the trade, but certainly no disposition to
purchase freely.

Our Market this morning having been attended by an un-
usually small number of town and country millers, generally
evincing a want of spirit to supply, even the pressing neces-
sities of the moment, the transactions in any description of
V, heat were so extremely unimportant, as scarcely to justify a
change in our quotations, which may therefore be considered
nom flatly as on Tuesday.— Flour, however, corning forward
sparingly, English and Irish, upon a rather better demand,
realised a slight amendment in value, and free States as well as
Canadian supported late prices. Of the latter, a few hundred
barrels have been disposed of at 28s to 2ps in bond.
In Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, there was hardly the ap-
pearance of business to-day, and though none of these articles
are plentil ul, each may be deemed the turn cheaper.
Oats, being equally neglected, barely sustained our last cur-
rency; and Oatmeal declined tid to Is, reducing the best marks
of Irish to 20s per 240.—New Oats and Oatmeal, the fir. t from
Ireland this season, being an exception, a small parcel of the
for er was sold this morning at 2s tid per 451 b, and ten sacks of
the latter brought 35s per load ; these rates, however, cannot
be loosed upon as a criterion for the future.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, AuG. 18.
The supplies to day were moderate of Beasts an Sheep,
but plentiful of Calves and Pigs. Trade, as might be expected
from the depression of Monday, was somewhat more animated
to-day, although no higher Irices were realized except for very
superior I.amhs. which made readily the crown per stona.
Prime Beef fetched 4s, and Southdowns as 2d. Middling des-
criptions of Beef and Mutton made -the former 3s 8.1 and the
latter 3s ted. Calves of about 18 stone made 45 8-, and young
Porkers 4s 4d.
