has taken place and the stock is on the de

a slight decline. Most descriptions of sugar
sell freely at rates which cannot fail To answer

The trade In wheat has. since our last. been
active and not only has the previously es-
tablishcd advance been maintained but a fur
thcr rise IN prices has taken place at many of
Tue principal markets.. Notwithstanding the
lnducement held out by the present rcnuIncr-
atlng rates, farmers have manifested very lit
lie anxiety to part with their wheat. and the
deliveries have rather fallen OF than increas-
ed; buyers have, on the otherhund, deemed it
prudent TO make further addition TO their
stocks, and at present we can discover no SYM
toms OF a reaction. Thc advicos from the
western and northwestern markets report a
material rise in quotations. At Bristol, on
Thursday all kinds of wheat advanced Is To
Is per quarter, and at Birmingham on the
same day the enhancement amounted TO IS
to IS. per quarter.
Ireland appears To have been visited with
similar weather TO that exp riencad on this
SIDE oi the channel; and a good deal of injury
Is SAID TO have been done in the latter dis
trlcts, not only To The corn remaining abroad,
but also To the potatoes. These reports, and
the rise in the English markets. had caused
holderso oil grain to demand higher terms; and,
at The principal markets, the value of wheat
and oats had tended upwards.

We have now advanced to near the middle
- nv NV Oil our harvest III EilSIdllt,
and there is still Il good deal OF grain in the
fields unsecured. and AN unusual quantity for
the season uncut, north of the Humber. The
weather has been very uns tiled for the last
fortnight; we have scarcely had two success
slve lair days; very little corn has been carri-
Ell during that time, and that which has been
stacked will prove when it comes TO be thrash
ed, III a damp state, unless kept till the March
winds have wished through it. The season
IA, however, not been damaging; frequent
Disk winds and the old air have prevented
the process of sporting, and we still think
that not much harm has b EN- done to the
grain since it passed through the hands of the
reapers. AS TO the aggregate of the harvest,
we adhere To the opinion we have already ex-
pressed, namely that taking the average pro-
duce oil the year at 10000, 900 quarters of
wheat, last years produce would yield2l .0OO.-
600, while this years will not exceed Is, OOO,-
700. Oh other grain il seems to be the general
opinion that we shall this year have "a fair
average, but that potatoes will be falling crop
III some parts OF the kingdom, though by no
means general.
The accounts of the potato crop in Ireland
are oil a nature to excite the most serious ap-
prchcnsions for the ensuing year. The Mark
Lane Express says that a correspondent in the
county of Kildare writes
There Is no doubt of the failure Of the crop
and there IS every reason To apprehend "A fam
Inc IN consequence. The attention of most
prisons appears to b. entirely directed to one
point, that OF ascertaining how far any por-
ton OF the crop can BE- saved. Suppose the
untaintcd portion were secured from the de-
s%truction which threatens it-would the vast
population of the country be secured from
want approaching TO famine? | think not"
LIVERPOOL MARKETS, Oct. Is.
the
Circular of c. &J. Kirkpatrick, October Isl
Since our Circular OF the lth inst. we have
had more doing in American Produce in gen
cral. The near approach to the end of the
season induced the holders of Provisions to
meet the wants of the trade freely, while the
light stocks in first hands convinced the deal
ers they could not expect any reduction i'm
price. In Beef and Pork we have had sales TO
a fair extent at our late quotations, the limited
stock now here will not be more than suifi-
Gent to meet our wants until the first arrivals
oil the new cuTe, while our accounts from Ire
'ahd warrant us To expect no supplies of i'm
portancc thence. Cheese is and has been cx-
trcmely scarce; the entire arrivals have been
under | 200 boxes, which have been sold bv
auction, at the full advance quoted i'm ourlast
within the past ten days we have had two of
our most important fairs for this article. when

was sold at an advance of IS. to Is. per cwt.
Early arrivals from the States will sell freely.
anu from present appearances, aud with the
prosperous state of our working classes. and
the high price of Butter, we are likely to have
nigh prices, with AN extra heavy demand
through the season. Lard continues extreme
y scarce; om arrivals are under 600 kegs of
me quality, which sold at lYs. Cd. and would
now command Is. 10 IS. more. Our stock ol
Iallow is unusually light; prices have been
gradually increasing, so that lbs. Cd. would
now BE- got for States. and if of fine ouaIitv
rs. 6l. to lbs. Owing TO our late adyices
from the River Platte, Hides have met with a
very free sale, and sales have been made to .
considerable extent at ld advance. with a
prosPcctOl being well sustained. Ashes have
been taken freely at 2ls. for Pots, and 2ls. 81.
to 2ls. 81. for Pearls; the stock now i'm first
hands IS much reduced. Hemp has been cS-
lfemcly dull; the last sale of States was forced
