quarter. Nothing doing in foreign, for the reason
assigned above. Grinding Barley is scarce and io
demand. In Malting, traniactions are limited. Less
business doing in Oats, but no inclination to take
lower prices ; the expense of landing being oiresd/
incurred. Beans are in improved demand, and seem
likely to eontinue so ; the same remark applies to
Peas. Our chief supply of the former are'
Egyptian. We are without fresh arrivals of
Rye Meal ; the article supports its !aloe, and, with
the present high price of Cakes and other articles of
similar nature, is likely to be extensively used for
general feeding. 'With considerable arrivals of lin-
seed, chiefly from the Black Sea, but a moderate
quantity comes on the market; prices are conse-
quently well supported. Without any stock of foreign
linseed cake, the demand falls exclusively on Hull-
make, which are delivered from the mill as rapidly as
they can be made, at fully our quotations. We are
still unsupplied with rapeseed, which, with the present
demand for oil and cake, is extraordinary. Rape
cakes very scarce, and worth 6/. 7s. 6d. to 61. 10s.
There is no business to report in bones.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN

LIVERPOOL.
(From the Liverpool Standard of yesterday.)
This important addition to the railway facilitie!
possessed by the town of Liverpool was first brought
into working order yesterday afternoon, in a tempo-.
nary room, fitted up over the carriage.
the Lime-street station. At present it is only capable
of being worked in communicatioa with Manchester,
and there is no connexion along the London and
'depository
.it
Birmingham line beyond Rugby. The workmen,
however, are actively employed in laying the wires
for the remaining distance, which will no doubt be
completed by the time that the company get int°
possession of their permanent station in Tithebarn-
street, opposite the end of Exchange-street East.
By the politeness of the clerks in attendance at the
station, we were enabled to witness the facility wir,
which messages are sent and answers receivedelling
an example of the almost instantaneous trav
from the
of the electric fluid, we may state that,
moving of the handle of the telegraph to the cor-.
responding movement of the needle, not a quarter of
the
a second's interval is perceptible ; yet to move
needle in Liverpool, the fluid has to travel to Man'
chester and back, 0
a distance of over sixty miles. Th.°
understanding between communicants at each end
most accurate; indeed, mistakes appear so thoroughly Ist
'
guarded against as to be almost impossible. Wh
at the station the arrival of a vessel (the Marl'
Amelia, Captain Long) from New York was trans.
mitted to Manchester in a space of time not exceed-
ing one minute, and in another would be recorded
upon the slate in the Manchester Exchange. A Fed
vate conversation was also held by a gentleman con-
nected with the Liverpool press, with one of the
editors of the Manchester Guardian, who was sum'
moned per telegraph from his office for the purpose.
As soon as the arrangements are completed, the in-
formation received from the various telegraph stations
the London markets, and any other commercial of
other intelligence worthy of being transmitted, 11l
be written up in the room, which will be open to suu'
scribers paying two guineas per annum.
