MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST

In the early part of the week, the trade. influnced (in addition to
the previously existing_ causes) by the great decline which took
place in• London. was in a state little short of absolute panic ; and
though during the day or two, the eagerness to realise which was
previously manifested has somewhat abated; holders have been
very willing to sell at the reduction which has taken place in the
value of every article since this day week.
With very trifling exception, the weather has continued favour-
able for harvest ; the reports of which from all parts of the king-
.dom are most satisfactory.
At this day's market, though somewhat more of a secure feeling
is evinced, holders of all articles readily meet purchasers in the
moderate business which is doing. The demand is confined almost
entirely to the best samples of each article, and en these a reduc-
tion on the rates of this day week is submitted to at 61. to gd. per
bushel on Wheat. 2s. to as. per sack on Flour, Id. to 2d. per bushel
on Oats, and 2s. per load on Meal. Beans, Peas, and Malt, with-
out much variation: Inferior descriptions of all articles are sale-
able only at very low rates, and we may remark that in the present
unsettled state of the market, quotations for any quality can be
made with little accuracy.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCH ANGE. AUGUST 5.
The rate of duty has advanced upon Foreign Rye to 9s 6d,
and upon Colonial to is per qr., which are the only al-
terations we have to notice for the ensuing week.
We have again a large arrival of Wheat, the import from
abroad within the past three days exceeding 19,000 qrs.,
chiefly from and through the Mediterranean ; the supply of
States and Canadian Flour is also to a liberal amount, and
the whole, as well as our present stock of bonded Wheat
and Flour, may now be considered virtually on the free mar-
ket, there being every prospect of an early advance of duty;
the fresh supplies coastwise and from Ireland are generally,
as of late, very limited.
The trade between Tuesday last and to-day assumed rather
more firmness, and a few transactions took place in the
leading articles on nearly the terms last noted. Yesterday
there was an indication of unsettled weather, by which some
stimulus was excited; more, however, in the minds of
holders than of buyers, there being upon the whole little
apparent relief from the state of apathy previously existing.
Several millers from distant parts of the country, at this
day's market, seemed to impart rather more stability to the
trade for Wheat, in which a fair extent of business was
transacted, and there appeared a somewhat less eager desire
to force sales than in the early part of the week ; most hold-
ers notwithstanding, evinced a teady disposition to meet the
demand, and while some parcels of good quality realized our
last quotations, a decline of id. to 2d. per Nibs was more
generally conceded.
Upon a moderate sale for States and Canadian Flour, each
may be considered rather cheaper; home made and Irish
remaining nominally unvaried.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, being nearly without in-
quiry, were severally, in some degree, depressed in value.
A few parcels of fine heavy Dutch Oats, just arrived, ap-
peared to meet a rather free sale to-day at 3s Itl to 3s 3d per
45 lbs. ; but in other kinds, scarcely any business was done ;
and Oatmeal, being very little noticed, hardly maintained
our last currency.
