ti.e Corn tukti,
The Liverpool Corn Market to-day was not
so largely attended as previously, but we expe-
consumptive demand for
rienced a good steady
all useful descriptions of Wheat at the full prices
of Tuesday last ; low qualities were neglected,
and scarcely maintained their late value. Sack
Flour was in moderate request, and quite as dear ;
American rather easier to purchase. Egyptian
Beans were steadily sold, and 6d per quarter
dearer. Oats and Oatmeal, without alteration in
price, but in slow request. For Indian Corn we
hakno Irish inquiry ; the English demand for
feeding purposes takes off only a limited quantity,
and quotations were with difficulty maintained.
---The Weather, although not all that could be
desired, has been on the whole more favourable
this week ; we have had heavy rains at night,
followed by brisk drying winds and sun-
shine during the day, and a good many fields
have been reaped in this neighbourhood. The
trade at the provincial markets, stimulated by
the decided advance in Mark Lane, has been
characterised by considerable animation, and
• Wheat has realised an improvement varying
from is to 4s per quartei, according to the extent
of supplies and demand. Spring corn also parti-
cipates in the amendment. The trade here has
ruled firm, but the business in Wheat has not
been on an extensive scale, attention being
more
directed towards sack Flour, in which considerable
transactions have taken place, and a few cargoes
of French have found buyers, cost and freight.
The Gazette returns of Wheat for the week
ended 25th instant, are 80,588 quarters. The
fresh supplies of Wheat and Flour during the
past three days, are confined to 792 qrs. of the
former, and 3,049 barrels of the latter: from
