LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 9.
Although .the wind is still unfavourable, we have received
into this port since Tuesdaylast a fair supply of Wheat, and a
few parcels of other grain coastwise but, except a moderate
Euantity of Barley from Europe, and 4070 qrs. of Beans from
gypt, the arrivals of Foreign produce are very inconsiderable ;
the exports hence to Ireland,'however, are going on daily, and
rapidly diminishing the stocks here.
The recent purchases of Wheat in several English ports for
shipment to France and Belgium announced here at the close
of last week, imparted a strengthened feelin7 to the trade, and
on the spur of the moment about 25,000' barrels of Flour
changed hands for investment at improving rates, prime West-
ern brands commanding 435. t 0.435. tid.
Our market this morning .relative to Wheat rather disap-
pointed the expectation of holders ; notwithstanding the ex-
citement in London yesterday, the trade for most kinds of this
grain was languid, and an amendment merely of id. to 2d. per
70th. upon the currency of Tuesday last was not readily ob-
tained.—Flour, also, was less sought after to-day, American
barely sustaining the advance above stated, and all descriptions
of English and Irish the rates of ,this day se'nnight.
Malting Barley and Malt, being in limited request, receded
2s. per quarter each ; and grinding Barley, though in good de-
Beans Illva2arasd.ly3d. per bushel cheaper.—English and European

CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 12.
With the exception of a few thousand quarters of Indian
Corn, and about 2000 barrels Flour from the States, our fresh
arrivals are generally rather limited since Monday ; but, as
after extreme cold of late, and snow yesterday, the weather is
now mild, there is a change of wind, and the probability of
somewhat better supplies next week.
We have had on the whole little business passing in the trade
the last two days, and though the principal holders have been
firm, the value of Flour has again somewhat receded, the pres-
sure of a few parcels being more than equal to the demand. In
other articles little or no variation has been apparent.
Notwithstanding advices received this morning from Ame-
rica report much excitement and advancing prices there in
consequence of the last accounts from England, our market to-
day exhibited no lively symptoms in any article of the Corn
trade; and though some parcels of Wheat were taken for Ire-
land at our last quotations, the millers bought sparingly, and
for moat descriptions of this grain business closed dull, with a
slight tendency to decline.—Flour moving less freely, western
brands receded to 41s. Ga. to 425. per barrel, and English as
well as Irish, although scarce, must be noted rather cheaper.
Barley was in slow request at Tuesday's rates.—Malt diffi-
cult of sale, and Is. to 2s. per quarter lower.—Beans, upon a
very limited demand, were rather depressed in value; and
asustained
beiftoi being
