LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tn is DAY

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN Sr SONS' Circular)

Although between Tuesday last and to-day the supplies
into this port coastwise and from Ireland have been altoge-
ther very moderate, and we have received no Grain or Flour
within the last three days from abroad, transactions of a li-
mited character only have been practicable in any article of
the corn trade during that interval :—holders nevertheless
appeared to evince no want of confidence, and the general
currency of our last circular therefore continued steady.
By the average return of the kingdom received here this
morning, the duty on Oats is raised to 12s 3d, and on Rye to
15s 6d per quarter, that on Wheat and all other foreign pro-
duce remaining unvaried.

Having an unusually slender attendance at this day's mar-
ket, and the millers and dealers being extremely inactive,
there was decidedly less firmness in every branch of the
trade than in the preceding part of the week. Foreign
Wheats, although the stock here has been gradually decreas-
ing of late, and the present high rate of duty will necessarily
force future importations into bond,—even these descriptions
were very unsaleable this morning, and scarcely retained
their previous value. Irish Wheats, being also in very slow
request, were the turn cheaper ; and home-grown samples,
notwithstanding such continue to come forward very spa-
ringly, met little notice at former prices.
English, Irish, and foreign free Flour, upon a moderate
demand, remained stationary in value. In bond no further
sales have transpired.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease-appeared to claim very
little attention, and hardly maintained our last quotations.

Oats and Oatmeal seemed to participate in the prevailing
dulness, but, being held at Tuesday's rates, no material
change in prices can be noted.
