LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tnfs DAY.

(From Messrs. 1?. MAKIN Sr SONS' Circular.)

A fair quantity of Wheat and Oats, with a very large sup-
ply of Oatmeal, have been received into port from Ireland
since the 10th instant; but we have still very little Grain to
notice coastwise. From Canada and the United States the
arrivals contain principally 4169 qrs. of Wheat, with nearly
13,000 barrels of Flour ; from Europe, 53 qrs. Beans and
2774 qrs. of Pease only.
The deliveries of Grain from the neighbouring farmers have
been hitherto very inconsiderable, although from the almost
daily heavy rains within the last three weeks, the cultivation
of the soil around us has been nearly suspended; some
breadth of potatoe ground, intended for Wheat, is therefore,
still unsown, and fears are now entertained that, even with
dry weather, it can scarcely be brought into a favourable
state for the reception of the seed until an unusually late
period of the season. Meanwhile, the Wheat plant upon the
summer fallows, forming, however, a limited portion only of
the whole, continues to present a healthy appearance.
At this day's market, all descriptions of Wheat continuing
to meet a very languid sale, and being further depressed in
value, we reduce our quotations from the rates of Tuesday
last 2d. to 3d. per 701b5., except for fine qualities of English,
which nearly maintained farmer prices.
Flour also was in very slow request, and, had sales been
feasible beyond a moderate extent, rather lower terms must
have been generally conceded.
English Malting Barley, of which there was little at hand,
remained nominally unvaried ; but Irish, being mostly in soft
condition, was very unsaleable at 3d to 4d per 601bs cheaper.
The increased arrivals of Oats and Oatmeal, being met by a

tolerably free sale to country buyers, both these articles freely
supported the currency of this day se'nnight.
Malt dull, and all sorts of old full 2s per quarter lower.
Beans and Pease, although limited to a retail demand, re-
mained stationary in value.
