LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 1.
There has been a good demand throughout the week both
froan the trade and exporters, and on Tuesday,and Wednesday
a alight advantage was realised by holders of middling Ameri-
can; for the last two days, however, less spirit has been shewn
buyers, and it is row difficult to obtain any advance upon
the quotations of Friday last. Exporters have taken 5230 Ame-
rican, 640 Pernambuco and 300 Bengal, and Speculators 1000

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 2

A return of fine Weather has checked the excitement which
previously existed. Millers and bakers at once fall back upon
the small stocks which remain of their last two or three weeks'
purchases, and the business done since our last has been of a
limited character. At our market to-day nothing is doing
calling for particular notice. Wheat may be considered about
3d. per bushel, flour Is. per sack, and Indian Corn 3s. per qr.
lower. Other articles much as last quoted. No new stuff
offering.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, SEPT. 1

Harvest has proceeded favourably this week, there being but
little interruption from rain. "there is a fair supply of Wheat,
some portion of it of the new crop, the quality and condition of
which is very various, and prices range from 545. to 625. ; old
is held rather firmly at Is. <decline. Oats, Shelling, and leans
are dull and rather easier. Malt is in good request, rind Is. to
2s. per load higher.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, Aus.'29.
We had a plent ful 'supply of old Wheat at market to-day,
whieh sold about the same prices as last week. So little new
Wlietiehas come to -nand that it is difficult to form a correct
valuebof it. Oats and Beans supported last week's prices. We
liadui great deal of rain the end of last week, ibut a favourable
change took placers the weather yesterday, and to-day is very
%UN-which hasits usual influence on the market.
