LIVERPOOL, A trousr 22.- -The reports of harvest in the
southern districts of this country state it to be now rapidly
approaching completion; in the midland counties, as well as
in the south of Ireland, satisfactory progress is also being
made, and in the north of both countries a continuance of fine
weather appears only to be required to make it general within
a week or two from the present time. It is of course tor, early
to hazard an opinion as to the result ; but, so far as bulks have
appeared at market, the qualities and condition are good. and
weight heavy. Stocks of old Wheat in the hands of English
growers seem to hold out well to the close of the season, mode-
rately fair supplies being stilt delivered each week. The gene-
ral character of the truce is therefore dull throughout the
kingdom, and Wheat, including Spring Grain of most descrip-
tions, declining in value. We had occasional rains in this lo-
cality on Wednesday last, but nothing to retard materially
field operations, and yesterday and to-day have been exceed-
ingly fine. With the exception of a further good supply of
States and Canadian Flour, the arrivals into this port since
Monday last are unimportant. A few thousand barrels of
American Flour changed hands, as well as several floating car-
goes of Indian Corn, at calling ports, and nearly due ; but the
trade in other respects during the past two days has been
without animation, at nominey unvaried rates. Although a
tolerable number of home and country millers appeared at our
Corn Exchange to-day, they continued to exercise a considera-
ble degree of caution and forbearance, and buying scarcely
sufficient to serve the wants of the moment, the trade for all
descriptions of British and Foreign Wheat was languid, fine
qualities barely obtaining previous rates, and other kinds re-
ceding about id. per 701bs. Superior brands of States and
Canadian Flour were held rather more firmly, and, upon a
moderate demand, supported the current rates of Tuesday;
the various classes of sour, heated, and inferior parcels moving
gradually at irregular prices; and French, being less plentiful
and more saleable, commanding our last quotations. Barley,
Malt, Beans, and Pease, being all in very limited request,
hardly maintained late prices. Oats, being scarce and in fair
demand, were the turn dearer. Old Oatmeal was steady in
value; but new, in anticipation of increased supplies, declined
6d. per load. Indian Corn exciting a moderate share of atten-
tion, American yellow improved 6d. per qr., all other descrip-
tions remaining firm at the currency annexed, which was pub-
lished on Tuesday.

MANCHESTER, Auousr 23.—The business of the week has
been of quite a retail character, at irregular prices for every-
thing but select qualities of each article, in the value of which
there has been no particular variation. At our market to-day,
prices are irregular, and sales are limited to the smallest pos-
sible requirements of buyers. We reduce our quotations of
Wheat, 3d. to 4d. per bushel; flour, Is. per sack; and Beans,
6d. to Is. per qr. Old Oats and Oatmeal as last quoted ; New
bring about 2s. 6d.. 2s. Bd. per bushel, and 28s. per load.
Other articles nominally as last week.

1 WAKEFIELD, AUGUST 22.-The arrivals are large of Wheat,
and small of other grain. Wheat is offered is. to 2s. cheaper
without inducing much business; a few samples of new appear,
of good heavy quality, and sell at 41s. to 435. for red, and 455.
to 475. for white. Oats and Shelling are without alteration in
value. Beans fully as dear. Grinding Barley and Peas sell
slowly, and are rather cheaper.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, AUGUST 23.-The weather
here since Monday last has continued as favourable as possible
for bringing the crops to maturity. A partial commencement
with harvest will take place this ensuing week, but it will be
10 or 14 days yet, even ,yith very fine weather, before any great
progress can be made. There was a larger delivery of Wheat
i from the farmers this morning than for the last few weeks;
but the arrivals coastwise and from abroad continue to a mo-
derate extent only. The trade here, as elsewhere, rules ex-
tremely dull ; buyers purchase only limited quantities for
present consumption. Wheat in granary was not pressed for
sale; but to force sales ex ship, a decline of fully Is. per
quarter had to be submitted to upon both English and Foreign
qualities. 'Barley in large supply; but for grinding purposes
the demand is good, and rates are about maintained. Eng-
lish and Scotch Oats, owing to small supplies, nearly support
previous quotations ; but Foreign are almost unsaleable, unless
of superior quality. Pease and Beans as last reported. Al-
though the supply of Flour from the south is small this week,
sales are difficult to effect, even at a reduction of Is. per sack.
WISBECH, AUGUST 23.-There have been only a few sam-
ples of old wheat and one or two of new offering to-day ; and
we do not hear of any sales having been made, therefore call
the trade nominally dull.
CORK, AUGUST 23.-The Flour market continues inactive,
the merest retail demand only having to be met. Very little
doing in Wheat, at prices in favour of buyers. Indian Corn is
neglected. Some very fine Samples of new Wheat came to
market, which sold at 20s. to 21s. per barrel of 20 stone.
DUBLIN, AUGUST 22.-The weather since our last report
has been ren_arkably fair, with a warm and genial atmosphere.
Our accounts relative to the Potato crop are very desponding,
and we fear the disease is making considerable progress. At
our market, this morning, Foreign Wheat met a dull sale, and
in such trausactions as were effected holders were obliged to
submit to a reduction of 6d. per barrel. Both old and new
Oats were in better supply, and the extreme quotations of this
sen'night were barely sustained. Oatmeal as last noted. In
the absence of a demand for Indian Corn our quotations are
merely nominal. The Flour trade during the week has been
exceedingly inactive-prices still having a downward tendency.

BELFAST, AUGUST 22.-With weather which has been
generally favourable for the growing crops, of which reports
from all quarters continue to speak favourably, the trade here
since our last has been exceedingly dull; and prices have
tended downwards, until they have reached a point which
seems to be generally considered safe for investment; and this
week's report of the Potato being much more unfavourable, a
disposition to speculate is apparent, which has checked further
decline. Indian Corn was inquired for by speculators : and
considerable sales, ea- ship, took place. At this day's market
country supplies were trifling. Farmers' Wheat unaltered ;
Foreign, quite neglected ; Egyptian would sell at 46 10s. to
12s. 6d. One or two samples os new Oats appeared, and
brought Gs. 6d. to 7s. ; old, in fair request, at Is. 6d. to As. 3d
per 1121bs. A steady sale for Oatmeal, at 412 to 4'13 58. per
ton. A sample of new sold for 148. 9d. per 1121bs. About
1000 brls. of very inferior American Flour was sold at auction
to-day, at prices ranging from 13s. 6d. to 17s. ; anything really
good worth 21s. to 225.; French, dull of sale. The low price
of Indian Corn attracted buyers, and 200 to 300 tons of Ameri-
can and Ibrailla changed hands on speculation, at es 2s Gd. ;
White French held at £6 ss. ; American, £6 15s. to £7.
