LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 12

Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain from Ireland and Coast-
ways have been very small, from Ireland the import of Wheat has
been for some weeks less than the exports thither ; 'but of Foreign
Wheat the arrivals have again been very considerable, and added to
those of previous weeks, have much exceeded the demand, and in-
creased our stocks here; sales have been very much depressed
during the past week, though a reduction in price, which can hardly
be very correctly stated, would have been accepted by many of the
holders ; and the decline in Mark-lab, and in the Yorkshire mar-
kets, completely paralysed the demand in Manchester on Saturday,
where very few sales of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal could be effected
from this port.

The duty on Rye from Foreign ports is this week increased Is,
and on Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat, Beans, and Peas, Is 6d
per qr. ; on Wheat and Oats no alteration; some small parcels of
the very finest heavy Oats, in bond, have found sales for export at
about 3s per 451bs.

At thiS' clay's market there was a very good attendance, but the
accounts from Mark-lane received this morning very much limited
and paralysed the demand; sales, however, were effected to a better
extent than anticipated of Wheat, on which (excepting on superior
qualities of English white and red, which being very scarce could
not be purchased lower,) a decline of 3d to 4d on the best, and 4d to
6d per 701 b on middling descriptions of Foreign and Irish was sub-
mitted to pretty freely, though some holders withdrew their sam-
ples from present sale : for all other articles in the trade sales were
very dull. Malt and Barley at last quotations. Oats and Oatmeal
at a small decline of Id per 451 b for the former, and of 6d to gcl per
2401 b on the latter. Flour Is to 2s per sack. Beans and Pease I s
to 2s per quarter lower. .

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 11

The number of Beasts at market to-day has been rather limited,
and the quality generally pretty good. Sales have been tolerably
brisk, especially for those of good quality, and the principal part
sold up at heavy prices. The supply of Sheep has been a little larger
than that of the preceding week, and the prices much about the
same. Good Beef sold as high as 74d, varying from that down to
6d, according to quality. Good Wether Mutton of large size sold
at Bd, second quality 7111, ordinary and Ewes 7d per lb. sinking the
offal. The market throughout may be considered a good one, as
the principal part of the stock of both descriptions has been sold up
at the close. Number of Cattle at market—Beasts 912, Sheep 2297.

rates, 31s 64:1 paid for good Montserrat, 31s for fair, and 32s for fine

COFFRE.—This afternoon the public sales were important, and at-
tracted a large attendance of the trade, as the state of the market
for the next few weeks, will be regulated by their result ; they con-
sisted of 2405 bags St. Domingo, 560 bales Mocha, 100 bags British
Plantation, 203 bags Ceylon, 4178 bags foreign imported from the
Cape of Good Hope, and therefore admissible for home consump-

selling at 112 s to 114 s, and in some instances at even higher rates.

tains former prices, prime singed 4gs to 50s.
Titi,Low.—There has been more activity in the market since our
last, and prices have improved 2s to 2s 6d.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—Prices generally cannot be
quoted lower for Jamaica Rum, but the demand has again been
limited; Leewards have heen taken sparingly, and importers have
submitted to a reduction on the rates of this week of I d per gallon.
—Brandy is held firmly, and there has been a firm demand.—ln the
value of Geneva there is no change, but the sale has been limited.—
British Corn Spirits as last quoted.
