the shoal. On R. Blanchford and Co's general outline
chart for 1843, is marked Lord Anson's Shoal," being
nearly in the latitude and longitude of the one above

which I would keep a better look out or give a wider

LIVERPOOL—FRIDAY.
1121° duty on Wheat has declined to 7s per quarter; on
4X,Barley, Beans, and Peas to 2s 6d per quarter; and
fr- to 2.8 per quarter. The arrivals since Tuesday,
itru to
and coastwise, comprise 5 quarters Barley,
za quarters Malt, 44 quarters Oats, 12 quarters Peas,
28114de Oatmeal, and 900 sacks Flour; from Canada
14Isr:mxrels Flour; and from foreign ports 597 quarters
o eat, 11,446 quarters Indian Corn, 300 barrels Corn
yxi,„l4' 9 loads Oatmeal, and 3,023 barrels Flour. The
WV:t's in the same time amount to 1,552 quarters
1,300 quarters Indian Corn, 483 barrels Corn
al, 621 sacks and 410 barrels Flour.
w with the exception of a slight shower or two, the
eather for nearly a week past has been extremely fine,
and
considerable progress has been made in cutting the
L'.4ecat crop; but, as yet, a very small proportion has
",..1,1 cleared from the fields in this vicinity.
l'h appears to be less alarm about the potato crop;
but, we do not find the reports to be materially improved.
f e trade has been extremely quiet; the transactions
,ousumption having been few and unimportant, with
`llight concession in favour of buyers.
784 et
parcels of bonded Wheat were reported, and
6d per 701 b paid for Polish Odessa.
• At this day's market there was a fair attendance of
ralers, bat the weather being uncommonly fine there
wa_ very little disposition to purchase any article.
uf. Wheat the sales were extremely limited, at a re-
d n`.loll of 3d to 4d per 701 b on both free and bonded
odec ;
4age for Flour there was scarcely an inquiry, although
at 2s per sack and is per barrel's reduction.
in Oats and Oatmeal there was no change; the stocks
bare being reduced to a narrow compass.
Egyptian-Beam were is per 4801 b lower; but in the
/aloe of English Beans, Barley, or Peas no material
Variation occurred.
A moderate demand was experienced for Indian Corn
and Corn Meal at a decline of is to is 6d per quarter
and 6d per barrel.
