Money .udrket.-Closing prices to-day We're,
Consols 92s to 922 for money, and 92l for time.
Exchequer Bills 80 to 42s premium.
Bac0n.-We have to report another dull week,
the quantity sold being but tring, and that mainly
of parcels out of condition. London has been resort
cd by several of operators they being able TO
supply themselves there upon easier terms. Our
stock is, nevertheless decidedly diminishing, and
the supply Of better descriptions in small compass
In Hams a retail business only, good being wanted.
Shoulders rather more noticed.

cwt. in bond. Grease is slow OF sale.

Corn, Sc.-We are unable to advise any improve

aspect of markets Continued very favorable wealth
er and encouraging accounts, aided by liberal i'm
ports, have combined to induce much caution on
the part of purchasers and transactions during the
week have been purely OF retail character, at
| lower rates for Wheat and Flour. Indian Corn is
not pressed upon the market; and prices main
tanned OF the Potato disease the rumorS are very
| conflicting. There was to-day but thin attend
ance of buyers, and business closed with downward
tendency.
Cotton-Imports this week 6,093 bales; Sales,
6,2S0; and present stock $4,000 bales, against
$50 700 at same period last year. Whilst there is
triing decline i'll prices of some qualities, and the
aggregate sales compare untavorably with some re-
cent reports, the demand for export and speculation
continues active. Manufacturers are unable to
realize profits upon their goods in proportion to the
late advance in Cotton, and holding sufficient pre-
sent supply Of the latter, their purchases made

LIVERPOOL, September I, 1919.
Bread StufS.-Harvest operations are progressing
iavouraby in all parts of the country, the weather
continuing fine. In market there is no yer!
material change, though prices still turn in thu
buyers favour Wheat is I'd u BUSH lower; Flou
heavy at last quotations and Indian Corn Cd
cheaper. Corn Meal only be sold in retail, and
being in few hands, is held for outside prices.
PTOcisions-Of Beef 500 tres. have been sold a
steady prices. The sales of Pork amount to 7Ot
brs., chiefly low Westerns, at 81 to 35s.; bette
qualities are still neglected Bacon has been dull
and Irish buyers have carried their orders to the
London market. The transactions are limited tc
about 200 boxes, consisting in great part OF out-of
condition parcels. No sales of Hams or Shoulders
but for the latter there is rather more inquiry. We
still are wanting supply of Cheese. or Lard only
| 50 tons have changed hands, at heavy prices.
| WORCESTERSHIRE market is quiet, with greater
desire on the part of the Manufacturers to effec
sales the upward tendency OF prices seeming to have
been checked by the inactive state OF business, bu
as vet no lower rates have been accepted.
