LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 4.
—The arrivals of all sorts of grain, as well as flour
and oatmeal, since Tuesday, are small, and the wheat
trade having assumed a more firm aspect, a fair amount
of business has been done in Irish wheats, on specu-
lation. The millers, also, have bought a little more
freely than of late. Tuesday's prices were fully main-
tained. In barley, malt, beans, and peas, the trans-
actions were limited, and our quotations remained un-
varied. Oats were in moderate request on the terms
last noted. Flour and oatmeal continued to meet a slow
gradual sale, without any material change in prices.
