The cattle market on Thursday ;;;well supplied with stock,
there bein,c upwards of 200 head of homed cattle brought for
sale. Calving cows were plentiful, and fetched good prices. Al-
though the weather was very wet, there were many buyers, and
an excellent business ; the cattle, generally speaking, being i❑
prime condition.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE. AUG. 15.
With the exception of a heavy fall of rain on Thursday, the
weather has been tolerably favourable for harvest work since
our last. The large bonded stock has not, since its coming
upon the market, been augmented by any considerable supply
of home produce, and having to bear the whole of an extended
consumptive demand, is now beginning to assume a manage-
able shape.
The trade during the week has been steady; a fair demand
for each article at full prices ; and at Liverpool and Wakefield
yesterday, more firmness was exhibited.
At our market to-day, the best qualities of Wheat are held for
rather more money; the same may be said of States, Canadian,
and choice brands of English and Irish Flour. Other articles
bring full prices, and a steady business is doing in
new the best
samples of each; inferior being qui! neglected. No stuff
of any kind as yet appeared here. Reports of Potato blight are
now universal from every part of the kingdom, and this matter
begins to assume a serious aspect.
The weather again looks unsettled to day.

BIRNIINGLIANI CORN MARKET, AuG. 13.
During the present week the weather, with the exception of
light showers, has been fine, and rapid progress made in secu-
ring the harvest; still an advance of 2s. per quarter has been
realised on the sales of Wisest which were effected. Rather less
money accepted for grinding Barley and Oats. Indian Corn as
dear. Beans sell slowly at former prices. At this day's market
there was a fair supply of Wheat, which sold readily at an ad-
vance of es. per qr. on old, and 3s. per qr. on new. More doing
in Barley, at quite as much money. 0 .ts unaltered. All se-
condary qualities continue difficult to dispose of. Beans realized
the currency of this day se'nnight.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, AUG. 14.

B. P. Sugar are very firm, the sales are 200 hhds. only, at full
prices. 2500 bags Bengal sold at 44s 6d for good brown, to 54s
per cwt. for fine white, and goo bags Mauritius, all faults, by

3;s 9d, 96 boxes Havana at 33s for fine yellow, and 358 6d for
middling white, with a few packages Brazil at former rates.-
500 puns. Trinidad Molasses have been sold, the price not allow-
ed to transpire; we, however, reduce the quotations, late prices
not being generally obtained.—Coffee. The advance noticed
last week is fully maintained, and 240 casks Jamaica have been
sold at steady prices. A good export demand exists, and the

the6d
