LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.-THIS DAY.
The Corn Ltrade of the country has again resumed.
general steadiness, and in the face of the most seasonable`
Weather, accompanied by improved reports of the spring-
, crops and the favourable appearance of the Wheat plant
upon a greatly extended surface, as compared with last
• year, markets have shown a decided tendency to advance ;
however this may be followed up, the question as to the
future course of prices seems to resolve itself chiefly into
one of foreign supply during the interval from this to
harvest, as the wants of the country are undoubtedly
great, and it is probable any improvement will be entirely
caused by large consumption being for the time but
spag met by importations from abroad, as much specu-
lationspecu-
of" cannot now be calculated on, except in the prospect
another injured or retarded harvest ; it is not practica-
ble to obtain from America, except of India Corn, for some
• time to come. The French markets have entirely
ceased exporting to this country, and are advancing their
Prices from the same causes as our own—namely, reduced
stocks and extensive consumption inadequately provided
for. The Baltic supplies are expected to be very moderate,
and most of the Black Sea shipments having arrived, we
can look for little more from that direction.
The bulk of our imports of Wheat this week is Egyptian,
"aving none from America, and the quantity of Indian
Corn and Flour from the States is quite moderate
a . Tho
e
export of Indian Corn is nearly 20,000 qurters t
Ireland.
Between Friday and to-day, with a good steady trade,
Wheat advanced 3d. per bushel, Flours. to ls. 6d. per
barrel, and Indian Corn 6d. per quarter over the rates
obtainable on that day.
There was a 'good attendance at this mor
was fully ning's market,
and a large consumptive demand. Wheat 3td.
Per 701 b. higher than on this day se'nnight ; Flour, 2s.
o
2s. 6d. per barrel dearer ; Oatmeal realised 6d. per load
more money than last week ; and Beans fetched ls. pern
quarter more than on Tuesday last. In Oats,
India
Corn, Barley, and Peas, there is no change.
