LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tuis DAY.
Since our report of Tuesday last, the arrivals coastwise
and from Ireland furnish a moderate supply of Wheat, a few
small parcels of Barley, Malt, and Flour, and a fair quantity
of Oats and Oatmeal; with about 2000 quarters of Wheat
and 1200 quarters Indian Corn from Europe, and from Ca-
nada 241 quarters Pease, and 2215 barrels Flour.
The duty on Wheat is now raised to 21s. Bd., on Oats to
7s. 9d., on Rye to 14s. per quarter ; on Flour to 13s. 0-id.
per barrel ; remaining upon all other foreign, and upon Bri-
tish colonial produce generally, the same as last week.
The weather having continued as favourable as possible
for all agricultural pursuits, the attention of our neighbour-
ing farmers has been exclusively required for securing the
potato crop and sowing wheat, in which considerable pro-
gress has been made during the week, and the deliveries of
home-grown produce have been thereby curtailed for the
moment: meanwhile the millers and dealers, anticipating
better supplies ere long, have remained much on the reserve,
and the transactions in consequence, between Tuesday last
and to-day, have been generally unimportant.
At our market this morning the trade for all descriptions
of Wheat was extremely inanimate, at a decline of Id. to 2d.
per 701bs. from the current rates of Tuesday ; and had sales
been feasible beyond a limited extent, a somewhat greater
reduction must have been complied with. Flour was also in
very slow request, and duty-paid foreign, as well as Irish,
must be noted rather cheaper ; a few small parcels in bond
moving off at late prices for export.
For English new malting Barley no settled value is yet
established, and grinding samples appeared little more than
nominal to-day. Malt ruled in the same dull state as last
noted. In Beans and Pease no change was apparent.

Oats, becoming more plentiful and very unsaleable, were
much depressed in value, 3s. being the extreme rate for the
best kiln-dried Irish, and inferior kinds offering with little
effect at 2s. 9d. to 2s. 10d. per 451bs.—Oatmeal likewise was
nearly without inquiry, and ls. per sack cheaper.
