STANDARD-OFFICE, AUGUST 22, Two O'CLOCK, P.M.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.--This DAY.

The weather since our last has been somewhat unsettled
in this as well as many other parts of the kingdom, but
being followed by brisk drying winds, the progress of
harvest does not appear to have been much impeded ; in
the southern districts a considerable portion of the crops
has been cut, and some quantity of new Wheat has already
aPPeared on Mark-lane, the quality and weight various,
and the value differing considerably. With fine weather
for a few weeks, this disproportion may be materially
narrowed in future deliveries. Harvest is also in rapid
Progress in the midland counties, and more generally
commencing in the north; but in Ireland its termination
Will be later this season than usual, in proportion with
the period at which the British crops may be expected to
be finally secured. The potato disease is spreading ex-
tensively in both parts of the United Kingdom ; and
Yet, on the light soils in this locality, the crops of this
root seldom exhibited a more promising appearance.
The trade in all directions has ruled dull since the close
of the week, at lower prices for all Grain, and we must
report similarly of the state of business, here during the
Interval from Friday.
Of British and Irish produce into this port during the
week, the receipts continue rather light. Of Wheat and
!lour, however, we have to note a moderate supply from
the United States and Canada, with a few arrivals of
Indian Corn and other Grain.

At the market to-day trade was very inanimate, busi-
, ness being confined to a moderate retail demand, Wheat
being 6d. per 70 lb., and Flour ls. per barrel below the
rates of this day week. Indian Corn is fully ls. 6d. per
(Mader cheaper. Oatmeal the turn dearer. In other
articles very little business, without any change in
quotations.
