produce at present advertised for next week.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APRIL 27.
Since our last report the imports of grain, and also of Flour, have
been extremely light, but with Oatmeal we are liberally supplied. Our
market this morning was well attended, and a fair portion of business
took place in Wheat at fully our last quotations. There was very little
Barley offering, and good Malt was also scarce, consequently these arti-
cles were the turn dearer, as was likewise Flour, which met with a
ready sale. Oats, on the contrary, were dull, though not anything
lower in price; but Oatmeal was purchased to a fair extent at the rates
of last market day. Beans were in somewhat better demand. Peas
were more difficult to part with at our former 'Pates.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 27.
The sales effected in Cotton this day amount altogether to 4,000 bags.
Holders appear extremely firm, and an excellent feeling exists amongst
the trade generally. Our last quotations remain unaltered.
