LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Of English and Irish produce, we continue to receive
very scanty supplies ; those of Foreign Wheat and Flour,
however, have been considerably increased since Friday
last ; the former partly from America and Egypt, but prin-
cipally from the Black sea, Mediterranean, and Baltic;
the latter, chiefly from New Orleans, and partly from
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Boston, amounting to
32,25,1 barrels, exclusive of 851 barrels from Canada, and
3,345, sacks from France ; whilst of Indian Corn and
Beans, the arrivals are not large ;. and of other articles,
trivial.. Of Maize, the exports of the week are fair ; but
of Wheat and Flour, only moderate..
In sympathy with the London Market yesterday, and
the various country Markets at the close of last week,
there was an advance this morning in the prices of Wheat
and Flour to the extent of Id. to 2d. per 70 lb. This had
the effect of checking the demand, and in consequence
the business done was limited. In other articles we
cannot quote any alteration in value, and the trade gene-
rally was dull.
