SUPPLEMENT TO THE tiberroci ttarbarb, LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.-THIS DAY. The Corn Ltrade of the country has again resumed. general steadiness, and in the face of the most seasonable` Weather, accompanied by improved reports of the spring , crops and the favourable appearance of the Wheat plant upon a greatly extended surface, as compared with last • year, markets have shown a decided tendency to advance ; however this may be followed up, the question as to the future course of prices seems to resolve itself chiefly into one of foreign supply during the interval from this to harvest, as the wants of the country are undoubtedly great, and it is probable any im p rovement will be entirely caused by large consumption being for the time but s p a g met by importations from abroad, as much specu lationspecu- of " cannot now be calculated on , excep t in the p rospect another injured or retarded harvest ; it is not practica ble to obtain from America, except o f India Corn, for some • time to come. The French markets have entirely ceased exporting to this country, and a re advancing their Prices from the same causes as our own —namely, reduced stocks a n d ex t ens i v e consumption inadequately provided for. The Baltic supplies are expected to be very moderate, a nd most of the Black Sea shipments having arrived, we can look for little more from that direction. The bulk of our imports of Wheat this week is Egyptian, " a ving none from America, and the quantity of Indian Corn and Flour from the States is quite moderate a . Th o e export of Indian Corn i s nearly 20,000 qurters t Ireland. Between Friday an d to-day, w ith a good steady trade, Wheat advanced 3d. per bushel, Flours. to ls. 6d. per barrel, and Indian Corn 6 d. per quarter over the rates obtainable on that day. There was a 'good attendance at this mor was fully ning's market, and a large consumptive demand. Wheat 3 t d. Per 701 b. higher than on th is da y se'nnight ; Flour, 2s. o 2 s. 6d. per barrel dearer ; Oatmeal realised 6d. per load more money than last week ; and Beans fetched ls. per n quarter more than on T uesda y last. In Oats, India Corn, Barley, and Peas, there is no change. __-•••••••••••....1.••••Ttr! STANDARD-OFFICI , ALLY 16, Two O'CLOCK, P.M. [By ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] THE WAR.
