LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 27.
Since this day week the weather 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 70Ib. 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.
Bailey, 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 band, with a very
limited 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, SEPTEMBER 27.
The duty on Foreign Barley and Indian Corn has receded to
3s, and that on Pease advanced to 9s rd 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 shortly anticipated; in all its bearings,
therefore, since the close of business on Tuesday, the Corn
trade here, intermediately up to this date, exhibited no feature;
of an interesting character, the t ansactions in any article
having been upon a very limited scale, at prices on the whole
varying lit' le from cur last cmreuey.
Having- but few country bnyers at our Ccrn Exchange to-day
and our local millers, being in few instances disposed to pur-
chase, old Wheat of all dcsciiptions continued to meet a slow
limited demand ; holders, notwithstanding, were tolerably firm,
and consequently our last quotations, especially for general
runs of Foreign, remained unalter,d ; 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 70Ib
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 2510 barrels offered by auc-
tion after market, of which but a small portion was sold, and
the residue withdrawn.

Without any supply of malting Barley, no accurate prices for
such are yet estallished : meanwhile, grinding samples have
met little inquiry and were the to 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 Sct timid, 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.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, SErT. 28.

With a tolerable consumptive demand for most articles of the
trade, prices have, during the past week, undergone no material
alteration.
At Wakefield yesterday the ar, ivals were small, and new Wheat
brought an advance of is per quarter; old was also saleable on
rather better terms.
The supplies into Liverpool, in consequence of contrary winds,
have been exceedingly limited, still (with the exception of Oats)
most articles have receded in value. We have but a thin at-
tendance at our Corn Exchange this morning. We cannot
note any alteration in the prices of Wheat, or the finer des-
criptions of Flour ; but secondary qualities of the tatter are
much neglected, and, in some instances, oftered on lower terms.
Oats are in short supply, and bring fully our quotations. The
demand for Old Meals has in some degree subsided ; it is, how-
ever, saleable in retail quantities, at the rate; of last week.
New does net colhe forward freely, and being much wanted,
sells readily at full prices. Beans and Malt unaltered in value.

RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

(From the Railway Magazine of Saturday.)

The following calculation of the last weekly returns of 48
railways, 1,778 miles in length, given in our present number,
will, we believe. be of interest : —Number of passengers on 33
railways, 411,723. The receipts for passengers on 48 railways,
-4'96,235 ; ditto for goods on 49 railways, £30,731 ; total,
.£:26,955. This is an average of it per mile per week.
