LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Fie. 23.

Aided by a favourable wind during the greater part of last
week, the arrivals into this port since the 16th instant, include
a more liberal accession of Wheat and other grain coastwise
than for some time past, whilst the receipts from Ireland ap-
pear to have nearly ceased ; from abroad, however, and chiefly
from America, we have to note a fair supply of Wheat, a very
large import of Indian Corn and Meal, with 30,191 barrels of
Flour. _ _ .

_
Although the supplies of all kinds of human food, flowing
-abundantly from this and foreign countries, into the various
ports of Ireland, are stated to be inadequate to the demand;
yet the present inactivity prevailing in the English markets,
with fine weather for spring culture, and the depression in
London yesterday, produced a lowering effect upon the trade
at the opening of our Corn Exchange' this morning; subse-
quently, however, a fair amount of business was transacted in
British and Foreign Wheats at ld. only under the decline of
Friday, reducing our quotations ad. to id. per 70Ib. below those
named on this day week. English and Irish Flour being scarce,
ruled nominally as mentioned above; and thoutrh, in anticipa-
tion of higher pricse ere long, the large importers of American
refused to sell to-day, several parcels of Western brands in
second hands were sold ut 41s. per barrel, being 3s. below the
rates of Tuesday last. _ _

Barley and M'alt, attracting less attention than heretofore,
gave way Is. per quarter each; and Beans as well as Pease were
in slow requeat at our reduced quotations.
Oats and Oatmeal were alto taken very sparingly by con-
sumers, and hardly supported late prices.
Indian Corn, in preference to all other articles of the trade,
continued to meet a very lit-dy and extensive sale, _clearing off
9
a large portion of the present arrivals, by submitting to a
further abatement of Is. for red, and 2s. per quarter for the
general runs olvhite.
