LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 27.

Since this day week the w-aather has been fine here,. but
the wind prevailing from the east having prevented several
vessels on their passage from entering the port, the present
arrivals of Grain and Flour, coastwise and 'from Ireland,
are but limited, and those from abroad comparatively
unimportant. _ _ _

At.our market to day, the millers, waiting more liberal
supplies on a change of wind, all sorts of British and
Foreign old Wheats, continued to meet a dull lingering
sale at our last currency ; and English, as well as Irish
new, upon a limited demand and receding further in va-
lue, must be noted 2d to 3d per 701 b. lower than on this
day se'nnight. Irish Flour, on the contrary, was in fair
request, prime marks rather exceeding our previous quo-
tations ; whilst superior brands of States and Canadian,
though taken off sparingly, fully maintained former
prices ; and since this day week, about 3000 barrels of
sour States have changed hands, in bond, at 14s per brl.
Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, continued to rule in
nearly the same state as described in the preceding report
of Friday.

Oats, still coming very slowly to hand, with a very
lim:ted stock in granary, commanded higher terms again
to-day, making the advance on the week fully 2d per 451 b.
Oatmeal, however, the demand having considerably
abated, hardly supported the foregoing amendment, and
in partial instances rather less money was accepted.

CORN EXCHANGE, SEPTE3IBER 27.
The duty on Foreign Barley and Indian Corn has receded to
3s. and that on Pease advanced to Is `'d per quarter, which are
the only changes effected by this week's averages.
With contrary winds mostly of late, the fresh arrivals into
this port are extremely light from all quarters, but being again
more favourable, increased supplies, particularly of new pro-
duce from Ireland, are shortlyanticinated; irLallits hearings,
therefore, since the close of business on Tue=dav, the Corn
trade here, intermediately up to this date, exhibited no features
of an interesting character, the t ansactions in any article
having been upon a very limited scale, at prices on the whole
varying little from our last currency. •
Having but few country buyers at our Corn Exchange to-day
and our local millers, being in few instances disposed to pur-
chase, old Wheat of all descriptions continued to meet a slow
limited demand ; holders, notwithstanding, were tolerably firm,
and consequently our last quotations, especially for general
runs of Foreign, remained unaltend ; the best qualities of
English and Irish new, however, declined Id, and the damp,
undried samples of the latter were decidedly 2d to 3d per 70th
cheaper. Home made and Irish Flour, was in moderate request
only at late prices ; and in States or Canadian very little busi-
ness was apparent, in the face of 2500 barrels offered by auc-
tion after market, of which but a small portion was sold,. and
the residue withdrawn.

Wi, hout any supp►y of malting Barley, no accurate prices for
such are yet established : meanwhile, grinding samples have
met little inquiry and were the tu n cheaper. Malt, Beans and
Pease, though not readily disposed of, remained steady in value.
Oats from actual scarcity and a good demand, advanced Id
per 451 b; Oatmeal, on the contrary, experienced a more diffi-
cult save than usual, and declined 3d per 24 lb.
The weather continues exceedingly fine here with a settled
aspect, and as the accounts from the Northern Counties of
England and Set tlaud, now represent it to be equally favour-
able, much Grain has been housed there during the week, and
the remainder of the harvest in that direction is at length ex-
pected to terminate satisfactorily.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 27.

Not the slightest change to notice in our Cotton market
to-day. The sales to-day may be estimated at 2,500 bales,
without any change in prices, with a tame and spiritless
tone.

COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT,

There has been a better demand during this week than the
last, and the market has been gradually recovering from the
dulness we noticed on Friday last; prices, though not de-
cidedly higher than we then quoted, are more firm, and rather
in favour of the holders than otherwise. Speculators have
taken 2500 bales of American and 100 Surat; and Exporters
1500 bales American and 300 Surat. The sales to-day, are
5000 bales of all kinds, with the market stiffer and holders less
inclined to sell.

The import this week is 2,418 bags, and the sales reach
26,100 bags.
