LIVERPOOL, JUNE 16.--The imports since Tuesday have
been trifling. At our Corn-exchange yesterday wheat and
American flour were in steady request for consumption, and
the better qualities of both realised an advance of ld. per
bushel and 6d per barrel. In sack flour no change occurred.
Oats and oatmeal were quiet, without variation in value.
There was a good demand for barley, beans, and peas, and
prices were fully supported. Indian corn met a fair sale at a
decline of 6d per quarter on yellow, but in white there was ea
alteration. To-day prices are steady, and not much doing; a
little Indian corn has been sold at 6d per quarter over yester-
day's rates.

MANCHESTER, JUNE 16.—During the week a rather iit°
proved demand for sour has been experienced, and although no
actual advance in prices could he obtained, approved marli:s o',
fresh English manufacture have sold pretty freely at fully the
previous currency. Oatmeal continued to move off stessfill
in retail quantities, without material change in value. Pith
the exception of a fair supply of foreign wheat, the arri vaiS
from all sources at Liverpool and Runcorn are again pert
light. At our market this morning the best descriptions of
wheat were held for slightly enhanced rates, and prime quali-
ties of fresh-made flour being in good demand likewise cots'
manded an amendment of 6d per sack. Oats were a slow sale,
and the turn lower, whilst oatmeal was in moderate request at
previous prices.

BELFAST, JUNE 14.—Wheat, fresh in from the country.
sells freely at former prices. Store lots are also taken more
freely at 91 15s to 101 5s per ton. Foreign a slow sale at
about former rates. Petersburgh, 81 15s to 9/ 5s ; Odessa,
9/ to 9/ 15s ; Baltic and American, 101 to 11l per ton. Flour,
a slow sale at former prices. American sells pretty freely at
23s Od to 24s Od per barrel. Barley, of which the supply rs
limited, sells at late prices. Oats—Fresh in are scarce and
wanted. Store lots or ex ship sell at 7e per ton. Oatmeal 13
in fair demand at the quotations of last week. Indian Corn--
Yellow has been a slow sale all the week at 81 lOs to 8115 s per
ton, whilst, at the same rates, white is in good demand.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 14,--To-day We
had a very small supply of cattle, which were more easily dis-
posed of at fully last week's prices. Best ox beef 50s to 515
per cwt ; second 45s to 48s per ditto ; cows, bulls, and inferior,
38s to 44s per ditto, sinking the r•ffal. All sold. We had an
ordinary supply of sheep, which brought last week's prig's;
Best aged wethers in wool 6&d per lb, clipped sheep sel to 50
per ditto, sinking the offal. Lambs were more numerous ; any-
thing good commanded, fair prices, small and bad were not easily
disposed of, and a few of them turned out unsold. Lambs
brought from 9s to 19s a-head, according to quality. The
numbers were—oxen, 396 ; sheep, 675; lambs, 1,048.
Coxes, JUNE 15.—We have to report some arrivals of In-
dian corn, which, coupled with the fact that the article is
drooping at the other side, have had the effect of producing
depression in trade, which must be noted dull at a decline of
fully 2s 6d:to 5s per ton. The receipts of home grain continue
miserably small, those of wheat in the week amounting only
to 87 barrels. Several parcels both of prepared Irish and
Foreign have changed hands at prices varying little from
those of last week. Inferior wheat, principally Egyptian,
which is selling at a low figure, is in demand, and interferes
with the sale of Indian corn. In oats we have had nothing
doing, but prices are nominally the same. We have a mo-
derate consumptive demand for flour, stocks of which, both
in factors' and bakers' hands are very small. The absence,
however, of all speculative inquiry renders the market dull.
Coarse flours sell readily. The trade in Indian corn during
the week has been dull and restricted at a decline of fully
2s 6d to 5s per ton from the prices of last week. We quote
its value 8/ 6s up to 11 15s per ton, the latter figure being
scarcely obtained. Indian meal, the sale of which is interfered
with by flour made from low quality wheat,is very little looked for

Private letters from Rio de Janeiro have been re-
ceived to the 26th of April. Little had occurred in po-
litics calling for notice. Business in imports remained
limited, principally from the absence of arrivals, but se-
veral vessels were at the bar, known to have on board
over-abundant supplies. Trade with California was on
the increase. Shipping for produce was becoming
scarcer, and freights exhibited an upward tendency.
The rate of exchange was flat at 254 d. The Crane
packet was to leave about the beginning of May. The
supply of coffee was limited, and it was anticipated that
the crop would undoubtedly prove short. Local stock,
after a sale of at least 150,000/. by the Treasury at 86,
had improved to 87 and 87/,
