LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 2

In addition to the very large import of foreign Wheat,
stated in our circular of this day week, we have to note a
further good supply since, principally from the North and
South of Europe, with upwards of 3,000 qrs. of Pease from
Canada, and 14,731 barls. of Flour thence and the United
States; but of other articles from abroad, or coastwise and
from Ireland, the arrivals are still inconsiderable.

The continuance of brilliant weather, the near approach o.
harvest, already partially commenced in early districts, anc

the decline in London yesterday, had given a decided check
to all extensive operations here, both free and in bond, and
have caused the holders of all free Wheat this morning, to
submit to an abatement of 6d. to 9d. per 70 lbs. from the
rates of Thursday last ; in consequence of which, country
millers were induced to purchase to a moderately fair extent,
whilst our local buyers remained extremely inactive.
Flour, having moved off slowly to-day, receded in value
2s. per sack and ls. Gd. per barrel below the terms of last
week.

Barley, Beans, and Pease were difficult of sale, at a reduc•
tion of 2s. each; and Malt was Is. per qr. cheaper.
Oats upon a very limited inquiry, were nominally Id. to 2d
per 451bs. cheaper; and Oatmeal, meeting little notice, de•
dined Is. Gd., reducing our quotations for the best marks o
Irish to 255. per 240 lbs.
The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oat.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 2

The activity which prevailed throughout our market yes-
terday has been felt again to-day, and a large business has
been done, as near as can at present be estimated 6000
bales, the bulk of it to the trade, but, a few speculators have
been operating, and have not yet finished their purchases ;
prices steady and rather tightening.

COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 4

The demand goes on swimingly, and our market has a very
buoyant and animated appearance. Yesterday from 8,000 to 10,000
bales were sold, to-day from 7000 to 8000 —the great bulk to the
trade, and the advance of id lb on all Cotton below fivepence is
fully established. The better descriptions are also dearer, and
Surats and Brazils have also partaken of the improvement. This
looks well, and the permanency of this tone will restore to us our
usual prosperity,
