LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 5

The imports of Wheat, Flour, and Barley, have again been pretty
considerable from Foreign ports, but from Ireland and Coastways
the arrivals of Grain have been very small, since Tuesday last: the
reduction of the duty on Foreign Wheat and Flour, accomplished
very barely on Friday last, was confidently anticipated throughout
the whole of the past week, and in consequence, those articles were
offered free for home use at a trivial decline, whilst in bond they
were held at a small advance, but not 'sufficiently decided to alter
our quotations, and sales to a fair extent were effected :—for fine
mealing Oats an advance of Id to ad per 451 b and of Is per 2401 b •
for fine Oatmeal was obtained ; Malt, Malting and Grinding Bar-
ley, Beans and Peas, found very moderate sales at nearly our last
quotations.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports was reduced on Friday
last to 13s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 8s 2jd per barrel ; on
Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat, and Peas is 6d per quarter ; it is
likely duty will be immediately paid on the two first-named articles,
as it is very probable the duties may be again increased next Friday ;
some considerable parcels of both articles in bond have changed
hands, at about the last quotations; duty has been paid on almost
all the Foreign Barley; Oats in bond are almost nominal at 3s 6d
to 3s 10d per 451 b.
The weather has continued very fine, without one drop of rain
since she 11th ult. and with very little since the 10th February!—
nevertheless the previous moisture of the earth, and the nightly
dews cause the country to assume a healthy green and favourable
appearance; winter-sown Wheat looks very well, but most spring-
sown Grain and Grass reported to be very short, and except in rich
low-lying lands, very thin : but no injury Is as yet done which may
not be speedily remedied by warm showers, now certainly very
much wanted throughout this district, and we believe everywhere.
At this day's market sales to a fair extent were made of Wheat
and Flour in bond and free, at fully our last quotations • Oats sold
at 2d to 3d per 45113 and Oatmeal Is to is 6d per 2401 b advance, and
for every other article there was a moderate demand at fully our
last quotations.
