In Oats the transactions were extremely limited;
and American Flour was Is per Dbl lower.
Within the last two days there has been tole-
rable supply of Wheat into this port from Ire
land, and about 1000 qrs from Canada, which
form the bulk of the arrivals, having very little
Grain in from other sources, and no further arri-
vals of Flour from the United States.

LlvERpooL, Sept. l5-During the whole month
Of August aud until thr present time the weather.
with few exceptions, has been remarkably favor
able for completing the harvest, and large pro.
portion Of the crops Of Grain in the midland and
northern counties, as well as in Scotland and
Ireland. has been secured in very fine order, and
when the goodness of the quality is taken into the
range the produce be at all under average rate.
la several of the southern and most fertile coun-
ties the Wheat crop proves to have been much
injured by mildew; but throughout the United
Kingdom it is, we think, certain that the dehCien-
CIV does not amount to ten per cent, and most
probably is not near so much. Oats are an
average crop, and Barley nearly SO. but much OF
il is of an inferior quality, which will keep down
the average price of it; and Potatoes are an aDun
dant crop. On the lst of August (up to which
the last official returns were made there remain
ed in the bonded ports of this country 326. S84
quarters of Wheat. and S5S,9i8 cwt of Wheat
en- Flour, besides S1S,8l7 qrs. of other kinds Of
Grain; and there nave since been imported about
100, 900 qrs Of Wheat and 100000 bbls Of
Flour.
The quantity Of duty paid Flour in this port
does not probably exceed 40. 900 bbls. whilst in
bond il is 100000, three fourths Of which are,
we think, held BY spectators. Wheat for home
use is now selling in this market at Is TO 9s Sd
per 20 ID. and Ill bond it rs nominally 5ssd to 6s
6d Flour for home use is in very limited re-
quest at Sis to SIS, and Western Canal at S4s to
SIS, aud the duty on it is 1874 per bbl.-
About the middle OF last month there was Il spec
ulative demand for Flour in bond at eos t. 22,6d,
and 2S To GAS for Western Canal, but that has
almost entirely subsidized, and u NAV now be
bought on lower terms For Indian Corn there
is an exceeding limited demand at Sos to3ls per
480 10. for home consumption, the dntv for which
is now 16slOd; some small shipments in bond
have been made at CAS- to25s per 4S0 pounds.
With the views we entertain OF the produce OF
the crops, the stock on hand Of old Grain in bond
and out of it. and the peculiar circumstances in
which the country is placed, we think there Is
scarcely any encouragement to make shipments
of either Wheat or Flour to this country, and we
certainly advise none to be made, unless OF the
best qualities, at very low prices and very low
rates of freight. The markets are beginning TO
be well supplied with new Grain aud for some
months to come we do not expect much variation
in prices.
