LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AuG. 13.

--
Of Irish Wheat, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal, we have to
note a moderate supply since Friday, with a few small
parcels of Grain coastwise ; the arrivals from the Conti-
nental ports of Europe, during the week, containing
merely 3,844 qrs. Wheat, 1,947 qrs. Rye, and 731 qrs.
Pease ; those of States and Canadian Flour amounting to
5,653 barrels.
Exclusive of about six hours' rain on Sunday night, the
weather since the middle of last week was fine, and the
harvest proceeded actively around us, but is again inter-
rupted by a few showers this afternoon.
During market hours to-day, very choice high-mixed
Danzig and prime white English Wheat were held with
much firmness on higher terms, and the general runs of
English, Irish, and Foreign maintained the rates of this
day se'nnight ; the millers, however, being disinclined to
buy freely, or to submit, in any case, to a material ad-
vance, the sales effected altogether were but moderate in
amount. Flour of all descriptions appeared to move off
rather sparingly, without any decided change in value.
Barley, Malt and Beans, commanding a tolerably de-
gree of attention, realised an improvement of ls. per
quarter. Pease upon a limited demand, hardly supported
former prices.
Old Oats, being in slow request, were rather easier to
purchase, and a few small lots of Irish new were scarcely
saleable above 2s. 10d. per 45Ibs. Oatmeal, although
taken less readily than at the close of the week, sustained
the rise then stated.
About 2000 qrs. of Indian Corn, under lock, changed
hands this morning at 225. per 4801 b., being the only
transaction reported to day in bond.

CORN EXCHANGE, AuctiST 16.
An advance has taken place in the duty of Foreign Beans to
6s 6.1 per quarter, which is the only change effected by the
averages this week.
Since our report of Tuesday last, the arrivals into this place
Coastwise and from Ireland are, as may be expected at the pre-
sent season of the year, of minor importance; whilst those
from the Baltic, Mediterranean and British America, furnish
a moderately fair supply of Wheat, with 1513 qrs. of Indian
Corn from the United States, and 7377 barrels thence, Montreal
and Quebec.
We had a heavy fall of rain on Tuesday night, and from an
early hour on Wednesday morning until noon, whe'? the wea-
ther cleared up; and having since continued fine, with a brisk

settled, imparted increased firmness to the trade, and during
the last two days, sales of Wheat and Flour were effected to a
tolerable extent on rather higher terms; other artieles remain-
ing steady in value.
Since writing the preceding remarks, the weather assumed a
more cloudy aspect, and at the opening of our market this
morning we had a slight shower ; notwithstanding which, the
Wheat trade was by no means so lively as within the last two
days, and the advance then obtained, about Id to 2d per 7010.
over Tuesday's rates, though confirmed, was not increased to-
day ; the transactions on the whole having been to a moderate
extent only. In the course of the week 7000 to 9000 barrels of
Canadian Flour changed hands at 26s to 27s 6d, but this article
was taken less freely to-day; and home made as well as Irish
Flour, merely sustained our last quotations.
Grinding Barley and Beans, upon a fair demand, may be
noted Is per quarter dearer; and Pease supported late prices.
Oats, in the absence of more than a very limited supply, were
saleable at the full rates of Tuesday ; and Oatmeal, being in
good request by country buyers, realised an advance of 3d to
6d per 2401 b. upon our last currency.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 13.
The demand which continued pretty good both from the trade
and exporters at the commencement of the week, has since
fallen off, and prices of American and Surat in many instances
have given way id go, tb. Brazil and Egyptian are very heavy
of sale. Exporters have taken 4300 American and boo Surat.
