LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
SEPTEMBER 1, 1842.
The quantity of Potatoes as yet brought to our local markets is
small, our farmers choosing rather to allow their growing crops
to attain full maturity, than gather for sale, under the present low
rates.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 29.

The continued stoppage of machinery by the turn-outs has
caused a temporary check in our market; and the pause has
enabled purchasers to execute their orders on decidedly better
terms than last week, amounting to about id per lb. Sales yester-
day 3,500, and to-day 3,000 bales.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 29.
Our anticipations expressed on Friday last respecting to-day's
market have been realised. The late rains have been general
throughout the country, and the prospect of an increase of " keep"
everywhere spoken of. The supplies of Cattle to.day were rather
larger than ordinarily, from the expectation of an increased de-
mand for Cattle for " stock." Of Horned Cattle we had upwards
of 3,000 head, and of Sheep and Lambs nearly 31,000. The trade
was generally brisk, and higher prices in most cases demanded and
readily obtained. Total clearances were effected at an earlier hour
than usual,

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE.. AUGUST 29.
The supplies of all kinds of grain throughout last week were
tolerably good, particularly of Foreign Wheat, of which 64,410
quarters arrived during the week. The demand was altogether of
a languid character, with a tendency rather to go lower in prices
than the reverse, and on Friday Wheats receded from 2s to 3s per
quarter. To this morning's market the supply of English samples
fresh np was moderate. The Wheat being mostly new, and some
of a very fine description, the trade opened dull, and must be
quoted 4s cheaper than this day week, or about Is lower than on
Friday. The demand for free Foreign is confined to the finer de-
scriptions, the millers buying in limited quantities to supply imme-
diate wants. In Barley there is scarcely any trade passing, and
prices undergo no change. Oats are a dull sale at last week's
prices. Foreign of low middling description extremely difficult to
quit. Beans and Peas unaltered, a few samples of New Beans of
fine qualities offering. In Flour we hear of no alteration up to this
hour, 12 o'clock. Canary Seed appeared for the first time, and re-
alised ses to 85s per quarter. All other Seeds in fair demand at last
week's prices.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AucusT_29.,

With the exception of a further good quantity of foreign
Wheat, there is little addition to the arrivals reported at the
close of the week ; but we may shortly look for regularly
increasing supplies of Irish produce, a few scanty lots only
of which have as yet come to hand.
At this day's market there was a good attendance of both
town and country millers, and the transactions in Wheat,
though by no means extensive, were to a tolerably fair
amount, at the currency of this day se'nnight : several par-
cels were taken on speculation, and upon the whole a less
anxious disposition to press sales was observable. Good
fresh brands of Flour met a steady sale at full prices, but
all inferior qualities continued neglected.
Grinding Barleys and Pease are offered on lower terms,
without finding buyers to any extent.
Beans in limited request, but not cheaper.
Old Oats were almost without inquiry to-day, still' we
repeat our last quotations.
Both old and new Oatmeal were in better demand for the
country, and obtained 6d. per load advance. A small lot of
new- Irish White Oats brought 3s. per 451b5., and Black
2s. Sd. per 451bs.
