LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 18.

The currency of Butter is nominally as noted in our last, and the
market is excessively flat.—Beef held for more money, whilst Pork
can be purchased upon easier terms.—Bacon in good demand. •

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 16.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
Since Tuesday. last the imports of Grain, Flour, and• Oatmeal,
from Ireland and Coastwise, have been very moderate, but of
Wheat and Flour, from Foreign ports, our supply continues weekly
to a fair extent; and it having been pretty well ascertained that
the expected increase in the duty on Wheat last Friday would not
occur, duty was paid only on about 10,000 quarters of Wheat, on
about 6000 barrels of Flour, and on almost the whole (about 4000
quarters) of Barley up to and including Thursday last.
During the past week the weather has continued very favourable
for all agricultural produce ; we have, however, experienced a more
active and extensive demand for Wheat and Flour, of which some
very considerable sales have been effected, in bond and free, and
for every article in the Corn trade, at about the prices of last Tues.
day: which, for Flour, were easily obtained, and in some instances
a little exceeded here, and in all our country markets.
The duty on Grain from Foreign ports has, since Friday last, in
creased Is 6d per quarter on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat
but decreased on Oats. Beans and Peas Is 6d per quarter ; and
although now with every prospect that it will be increased 2s per
quarter on Wheat, and laid per barrel on Flour next Friday, very
considerable transactions have occurred in both articles, free and
in bond, particularly in the latter in bond, on the passage at 24s 3d
to 24 6d, in docks and in warehouses here at 245 6d to 255, and in
smaller quantities •at 25s rid per barrel , and millers, dealers, ex-
porters, and speculators, for a reduction in the duties before next
harvest, have been purchasers. Oats, in bond, continue nominally
at 3s 8d to 3s 9d per 451 b. and these is a prospect of the duty being
still materially reduced.
This day's market was pretty well attended by our own millers
and dealers, and by many from distant markets; an advance of 2d
to 3d per '7olb. on Wheat, and 3d to 6d per barrel on Flour was
steadily demanded, and obtained to a moderate extent.—Malt was
Is per quarter lower, but for all other articles our last quotations
were obtained.
