LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 20.

The arrivals into this port since the 10th instant contain
a fair quantity of Wheat and Oatmeal, with some parcels
of Flour from Ireland ; but of other articles thence, or of
any coastwise, the receipts are trivial. From Canada,
however, we have to report a moderate supply of Wheat
and Barley, with a further large influx of Flour, which,
including that from the States, amount to upwards of
35,000 barrels. We have also to notica s few lots of Fo-
reign Wheat and Batley, with a tolerable import of Pease
and Beans, the latter chiefly Egyptian.
Having a good attendance of local buyers at our Corn
Exchange today, Irish new 'Wheats were in request, and
as much of the supply had previously gone into the hands
of millers direct, the bulk offering was comparatively
small ; in consequence of which the whole was cleared off,
mostly at an advance of 4d, whilst in a few instances very
tine qualities realised 6d per 701 b over the rates of this
dIT week ; and farmers' Wheat, of which there was a fair
show of samples, but not a lively scale, obtained a similar
amendment. Foreign free Wheats notwithstanding, were
in rather limited demand, and merely, though more
generally, supported the improved terms of Friday.
English and Irish Flour, being more saleable, was is per
sack dearer, but Canadian me: with little inquiry, except
very choice brands, which fully maintained late prices.
Grinding Barley and Malt were in slow request and the
turn cheaper; and Beans, as well as Pease. hardly sus-
tained our last quotations.

Old Oats, being still very scarce, advanced id per 451 b,
and new remained steady in value. Oatmeal, upon a fair
demand, obtained higher prices, increasing our quota-
tions Is for old, and for superior marks of Irish'new, 6d,
per 2401 b.
During the last three or four days we had extremely
heavy rains, which, by our advices, appear to have pre-
vailed in the counties northward.

CORN EXCHANGE, SEPTSMEER 20.

There is no alteration announced this morning in any of the
duties, whether on Foreign or Colonial produce.
__

The imports of the last three days, taken collectively, are
rather limited of Grain, and those of Flour much less than our
average F u.)ply of late.
Notwithstanding London and other leading markets this
week have not afforded any stimulous, the trade here since
Tuesday has preserved a steady aspect. with a moderate amount
of business in Wheat to our local and the neighbouring millers :
new Irish has continued in request at our last quotations, the
supply for the moment not quite equal to the demand; a cargo
of Stettin sold ex ship at 6s 8d per 70 lbs, less than the present
duty, and sales have also been practicable of the lower des-
criptions of Foreign at fully previous rates. Prime quality of
States Flour rather exceeded our late currency, but many
parcels of sour and stale Canadian are still offering at very low
rates, which induces some inquiries.

Upon a very slender attendance of town and country millers
at this day's market, and much firmness on the part of buyers
than of late, the trade for all descriptions of British and Foreign
old Wheats was extremely dull at scarcely Tuesday's rates , and
although few samples of English or Irish new Wheat appeared,
sales, even to a retail amount, were difficult to effect at a de-
cline of I d to 2d per 70th, the trade closing heavily at that
abatement. Irish Flour, being in lirr ited supply, maintained its
previ us value, and superior brands of States Flour were held
on rather higher terms, while the general runs of Canadian
were hardly saleable at former prices.
Barley, of which the supply consists of grinding qualities
only, was little noticed to-day, and this grain as well as Pease
may be deemed the turn cheaper. Beans, upon a moderate de-
mand, fnlly sustained late prices ; and Malt remained unvaried.
Oats. being scarce and in some request, advanced Id per
451 b; and having several country dealers present, directing
their attention to Oatmeal, the transactions therein were rather
extensive at an improvement of 3d to 6d per 2401 b.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, SEPT. 18.
During the present week, owing to the unexpected decline in
Mark-lane, we have not had much passing in Wheat; but
holders of new Engl sh would not to e less money, and at
Wolverhampton to-day, Is per quarter advance was obtained.
Malting Barley, except the finest samples of new, is per quarter
lowet ; grinding was disposed of at a reduction of 61 per
quarter. Oats supported last week's prices. Beans both
English and good samples of foreign, about Is per quarter
dearer.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 21.
During the past week we had a steady demand for most ar
tides of the trade; English and Irish Flour, of superfine qua-
lity, was much enquired for, and realised an advance of Is fer
sack upon the quotations of our last. Meal, both new and old,
was also in demand at an improvement of 6d per load.
At Wakefield, yesterday, with a good arrival, old wheat sold
at an advance of Is per quarter, new fully supporting last
week's rates; whilst at Liverpool the prices of new Wheat
receded Id to 2d per bushel.
At'our market this morning there is a tolerable attendance of
buyers: Wheat, both o'd and new, sells on much the same
terms as last week ; the improvement noted above on the super-
fine qualities of Flour is fully established, and we raise our quo-
tathans Is per sack on these descriptions; secondary and in-
ferior parcels are, however, unaltered.
For Oats there is a steady demand, at an improvement of Id
to 2d per bushel. New Meal sells on arrival, and realises our
quotations; for old there is a fair inquiry, at an advance of 6d
to Is per load. Barley and Beans without alteration.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 20.
The market has been dull and depressed throughout the week ;
for although the demand for export has been good, the operations
of the trade have been very limited; prices generally for
American descriptions are id per lb lower, whilst Brazil and
Egyptian have experienced a similar decline, and in some in-
stances a reduction tf id per lb has been submitted to. Specula-
tors have taken 1500 American, and Exporters 2410 American
and 350 Surat.
