LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARC:

The very moderate supplies of British produce received into
this port since Tuesday last, are amply made up by superabun
dantimportations from Continental Europe, Egypt, and Ame-
rica, especially those of Wheat, Beans, Indian Corn, Indian
Meal, and Flour, the last-named article amounting to 111,394
barrels.

Notwithstanding these extraordinary arrivals, combined with
the more feeble state of the leading country markets last week,
and the depression in London yesterday, our Corn Exchange

CORN EXCHANGE, APRII 1.

The imports subjoined, comprising two days arrivals only,
are moderate of Wheat, but of other articles rather limited.
The brief interval passing between our first and second mar-
kets this week affords very little scope for remark, beyond a
better feeling exhibited relative to Flour and Indian Corn, and
a fair amount of business transacting in the latter at improving
rates.

In consequence of to-morrow being Good Friday, our market
was held this morning, which, although a day out of the usual
course, was well attended by purchasers.—Upon a moderate
demand and tolerable firmness in the Wheat trade, the prices
of Tuesday were fully maintained, and in a few cases slightly
exceeded.—American Flour continuing in lively request, sales
of upwards of 30,000 barrels were reported to-day at 375. to 38s,
partly to country millers, to consumers here, to Irish buyers,
and for shipment to Lisbon, the market for Western brands
ending steadily at 38a per barrel.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, upon a very limited inquiry,
hardly-sustained our last quotations.—Oats, being still much
neglected, were somewhat depressed in value, and Oatmeal
merely supported late prices.
The great decline last week in the value of Indian Corn hav-
ing given renewed confidence to the trade, buyers for Irish ac-
count came forivard eagerly again to-day, and 48s. to 525. ger
4801 b. was readily obtained; Indian Meal, likewise, would have
been taken freely at 255. per barrel, but the samples being
generally held for higher prices, or withdrawn from sale, the
transactions were unimportant.
With occasional showers last week and a .copious rain on
Sunday, the operations of agriculture in this district were pro-
gressing favourably, but are completely interrupted to-day by
a very heavy fall of snow from an early period of the morning,
and continuing unabated at the present hour, 3 p.m.
