CORN MARKETS.

_(From Messrs Gillies and Horne's Circular.)_

CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY, SEPT. 11.--The weather continued most beautiful

here until yesterday, when we had some heavy thunder showers, and to-day

is gloomy, damp and close. The wind, what little there is of it, is

north. The arrivals during last week were moderate except of Foreign

Wheat and Barley, of which of course there is yet some quantity to

arrive. The new English Wheat coming soft in hand, is slow sale at 1s.

to 2s. reduction--free Foreign finds buyers for mixing at last week's

currency. Barley is dull sale at last week's rates. Oats are 6d. to 1s.

lower. Some new Irish have appeared of fine quality. There is no change

in Beans and Peas. Flour is the same as last week.

CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, SEPT. 15.--The weather threatened to be stormy

yesterday, the barometer fell, and we had some heavy drops of rain, but

it has since cleared up, and to-day is 10 degrees warmer and beautifully

clear, with the wind south east. In Ireland and Scotland there was a

good deal of rain on Sunday and Monday, which (we understand) stopped

the harvest work for the time, but we hope by this time they have it

fine again. The new English Wheat comes to hand softer and lighter than

at first; as usual after being stacked, the yield is much complained of,

besides that many of the stacks got so soaked by the heavy rains of the

21st and 23rd of August, that the condition of the Wheat is sadly

spoiled. The arrivals are moderate this week, except of Irish Oats,

several small parcels of which are of the new crop; there is also a

small parcel of new Scotch Barley in fine condition, and new Scotch

Oats, also good. Almost all the Wheat has been entered at the 14s. duty;

we believe it is over 300,000 qrs. New English Wheat is dull sale:

Foreign, on the other hand, is more inquired for, and not to be

purchased in any quantity except at 1s. advance. Barley is saleable in

retail at Monday's prices. Oats are again 6d. cheaper than on Monday,

except for very fine samples. The averages lead us to suppose that on

the 21st instant the duty on Foreign Wheat will rise to 16s. per qr.; on

Barley it will remain 6s.; on Oats 6s.; on Rye it will rise to 9s. 6d.;

on Beans it will remain 10s. 6d.; and on Peas, 9s. 6d.
