LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 16.
Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour. and Oatmeal.
from Ireland anti Coastwise, have been to a very fair extent, and of
Wheat and Flour from Foreign ports they have been also further
considerably increased, and nearly two-thirds of the Wheat anti
Flour Coastwise are Foreign, duty paid, the vessels having put into
the nearest British ports they could reach. andlanded their cargoes
to save duty ; the weather since Wednesday last has been stormy.
with frequent heavy showers of hail and rain, so that we fear very
little Grain has been secured since that day. and that a large pro-
portion of the crops to the northward, and even in this county, re-
mains Mill in the fields, and now receiving much injury ; in some
degree owing to which, and the quality of the recent imports of
new Wheat from Ireland not improving„ there has been a better
demand during the past week here and in all our country market,,
also in those of Yorkshire, and at Manchester on Saturday- sales to
a fair extent were made of Grain from this port, particularly of
Foreign Wheat ; last quoted prices of which, and of every article in
the trade have been fully supported, and in some instances a little
exceeded.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports has increased since Friday
last two steps, and is now ?0s 84 per quarter, and 12s 5d per barrel
on Flour; on Barley, Indian Corn,, Buck Wheat, and Bye, it has
also increased Is 6d per qr. ; and the high duty is now payable on
British Colonial Wheat and Flour of 3s per quarter. and 3s per bar-
rel ; the duty of 16s 8d per quarter has been submitted to on about
8,000 qrs. of last week's imports of Wheat, and lOs per barrel on
the chief 'part of the Flour, but the duty is now completely pro-
hibitory ; the Wheat in bond is not yet offering for sale, at its
nominal value, hut a few sales of Flour in bond have been made at
30s to 31s per barrel for export ; for all other Grain in bond there
has been very little demand. and the prices are almost nominal.
At this day's market we have bad a more active demand fur
Wheat, and sales to a considerable extent have been made to the
millers and dealers, and some purchases were made by speculators.
chiefly of good fresh Foreign, at an advance since last Tuesday of
3d to 44 per 7JII, on superior qualities. :tud of 2d to 3tl per 7011) on
middling and ordinary kinds. Fine new and old British and Irish
Wheat fully supported last quotations; hut for nll other articles in
the trade the demand was very limited at about last quotations.
