LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 30.

During the last seven days we have had moderate arrivals of Oats
from Ireland, hut of other descriptions of British Grain, Flour, and
Oatmeal, the imports have been light. The receipts from abroad
comprise 10,208 qrs of Wheat, 700 qrs of Oats, 1780 qrs of Barley,
and ip,lso barrels of Flour ; and there have been released from
bond 5778 qrs of Wheat, 3100 qrs of Barley, 55 qrs of Peas, and 624
barrels of Flour. The only change in duties, this week, is Is Gd
per fir less on Beaus, reducing the impost or. that article to 5s per
qr. Favourable weather and promising accounts as to the growing
crops, have had the usual effect of rendering the millers and dealers
cautious buyers; a disposition which, on the other hand, has been
met by holders of free Foreign Wheat submitting to a reduction of
3d to 4d per bushel, at which a moderately fair extent of business
has been transacted, including a few purchases for Ireland and for
country account. Irish Wheat is now in very small compass here,
and where it has been wanted, an advance of some pence per bushel
has had to he paid.—American Flour, in bond, has attracted the no-
tice of speculators, and several thousand barrels have been taken
during the week at 235 to 258 Gd per barrel : the prices free have, at
the same time, receded a little, say, to :+55 to 355 6d. per barrel, at
which a tolerably fair quantity has gone in the hands of the trade.
—Oats have been much neglected, and must be quoted 2d per bu-
shel iheaper.—Oatmeal, too, has met only a limited inquiry, at a
decline of fully 6d per load.—Several parcels of light Foreign Bar-
ley, for grinding, have found buyers, with a view to hold over, at 3s
10d to 4s per 60 lbs.—Beans, upon a moderate demand, are fully as
dear.—No change as regards Peas.

still higher prices, the sales are confined to 35J lihds B.P. at an ad-
vance of is per cwt. No sales reported in Bengal or Mauritius.

whites, and 2ls 6d for browns. Bonded Refined—No sales reported.
The arrivals c f Molasses since our last have been heavy, but they
are not yet landed; the sales consist of 300 puns old Demeraras,

Berbice, I I per cent. U.P. othing done in Foreign.
Throughout the week the Tea market has been fiat, and very lit-
tle business done; the quotations may be considered nominal.

3s 3d to 6s lid per lb.—Shell Lac ant[ Lac Dfe are without inquiry.

Java Turmeric brought 175, 500 bags of Saltpetre 25s to 28s, and
200 bags of Nitrate of Soda 17s to 17s 6d per cwt.
There has been a good demand for Campeachy Logwood, chiefly
for export, and the sales are about 550 tons, at £9 15s to &ID 2s tid
for direct, and £9 105 for indirect imports ; a few tons Honduras

land, 27 Virginia and 14 Kentucky leaf for export, and the remain-
der by Manufacturers. The stock in the warehouse is now 3302
lilids against 5196 same time last year. Pt ices have ruled very irre-
gular throughout the mouth, particularly for Virginia stemmed,
which has declined, whilst other descriptions have nearly supported
former prices.
The market for Mediterranean Produce generally has continued
in a languid state the whole of the week. Of Brimstone the sales
have been rather more than 100 tons, without any variation in
value.—Sumac of all descriptions finds slow sale, and at barely
sustained prices.—No sales are reported in Argots, Cream of Tar-
tar, or brown Tartar.—A few casks of Flag Annatto have been bold
at Is per lb.—There are no transactions reported in French or
Dutch Madders. A few bales French Roots have changed hands at
the quotations.-20 lihds Quercitron Bark sold at 12s to las lid.—
The transactions in Olive Oil have been on a limited scale, and the

of about 50 tuns of pale., sold from the quay at £25 lOs per to, ; a

Hemp, at £36 ; in other sorts no sales to enumerate.—ln Tallow

is experienced for consumption, at the annexed quotations.
