LIVERPOOL CORN

FRIDAY, APRIL 16.

A.lthough in several of the leading British markets held since
Monday last, there seems to have been less inclination to follow
the decline prevailing antecedently, yet beyond a rather steadier
feeling apparent in the Wheat trade no actual improvement is
reported in value, nor decided grounds established from which
any certain conclusions can be drawn or relied upon as to the
future. The subdued tone expressed relative to the markets in
the North of Europe and France, doubtless encourage the ex.
pectation of supplies of Grain thence in the course of the
summer, which, with the • ability of the American States and
Canada to afford considerable aid if so disposed, and the pros.
pect of arrivals from the Black Sea at a later period of the
season, may possibly serve to check any great advance in the
prices of this country, provided the British growers have the
means and continue t.o deliver their produce as freely as they
have done since harvest ; upon the latter point, however, par.
ties differ in opinion, which will naturally be the case, while
we have no t fficial statistics whereby the stocks in the hands
of farmers can be ascertained. Beyond a fair quantity of Oat-
meal, oar supplies coastwise and from Ireland since Monday
last are small ; yet in the face of adverse winds we have to note
a tolerable import of Wheat from America and Egypt, with a
good accession of Flour from the former source, but very little
of any article from Europe. During the interval since Tuesday
Foreiges Wheat and American Flour met a rather active de•
mand,'several large parcels of each changing hands for invest-
ment,at previous rates ; and having been repeated somewhat
extensively for country and Irish account at our market to-day,
fair useful runs of foreign red:,Wheat advanced Id. per 701b5.,
superior qualities of white, as well as all descriptionvof Eng-
lish, merely sustaining late prices. States and Canadian Flour
realised 3d. per barrel over the annexed currency of Tuesday,
and was taken freely at the amendment; French was also more
saleable but not dearer. Mattwas held on rather higher terms,
and Egyptian Beans improved 6d. per qr..; other kinds of
Beans, including Pease, Oats, and Oatmeal, being in slow re-
quest at former prices. Indian Corn, upon a fair inquiry,
advanced 6d. per qr., and boating cargoes remained steady in
-value. We annex Tuesday's quotations::—
