Manchester, Aug. 26.-During the week there has been a fair sale of every description of Grain and Flour, at prices which were not attainable last market day. There was a remarkably small attendance on Change to-day, and a very scanty show of samples, which (owing to the rapid improvement which has taken place in Liverpool, and the adjacent markets, and the extremely small stocks held by the dealers here) moved off freely at our annexed currency.
