CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 27,

The late favourable change in the weather has been suc-
ceeded by general rains, and being now exceedingly fine, vege-
tation appears to be rapidly recovering from the backward
state in which it was held by cold winds previously during the
month, and assists in checking for the moment any spirited
operations in the trade; but, however auspicious the season
may prove, if the shipments of grain continue to be interrupted
from the North of Europe, the great wants of this country and
of Ireland will require considerable importations from other
parts of the world, and probably counteract any material ten-
dency downwards in prices...

Although a very considerable number of vessels has arrived
in this port, during the. last three days, from various parts of
the globe, yet, Coastwise, from Ireland, or the Continent of
Europe, they contain scarcely any grain worth naming : from
the American States, however, the supply of Indian Corn is
large, consisting of 34,032 qrs., which, with a moderate quan-
tity of Corn Meal and Flour, forms the enth e import thence
since Monday last ; the export of the former to Ireland amount-
ing to 16,365 quarters.
The trade in Ireland during the week having been somewhat
less buoyant, and the English and Scotch markets mostly quo-
ted Is. to 2s. per quarter lower for Wheat, the transactions
here, from the close of Tuesday to this date, have been unim-
portant, and though some articles appeared rather easier to
purchase, holders, with very few exceptions, steadily adhered
to the rates previously noted.
Our Corn Exchange this morning have been well attended by
town and country buyers, the Wheat trade assumed a firm and
lively aspect, all descriptions of British and Foreign meeting a
very fair demand, and fully maintaining the currency of Tues-
day last.—American Flour, also, was in good request, and with
the prospect of increased sales for the interior of this country
and Ireland, the annexed quotations were well supported ;
home-made and Irish, notwithstanding, moved slowly on
scarcely the terms last noted.

In Birley, Malt, and Pease little business was done, and late
prices barely sustained.—The general qualities of Beans, upon
a moderate demand, were quite as dear as before, Egyptians
only being the turn cheaper.—Oats, although the supply is still
very limited, were difficult of sale, but not lower in value.—
Oatmeal continuing to be taken freely by consumers, steadily
maintained previous quotations. _ _

Indian Coin, owing to the sudden pressure of supply, receded
Is. 6d. per quarter, but extensive sales having been effected at
an early period of the market, prices subsequently improved,
and the trade closed at a decline of is. per quarter; Corn Meal
remaining unvaried.
