LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. MXy 18.
Coastwise and from Ireland, but chiefly from the continental
ports of Europe, we have received a good supply of Wheat and
Barley since this day week, with further large imports of Indian
Corn, Corn Meal, and Flour from America; whilst to the two
former destinations, shipments have continued to be made
freely.
This morning's market was again well attended by buyers
from all parts. From the small quantity of Wheat on offer, but
little could be done in that grain, which brought 6d to 9d. per
701bs. over the rates of this day week.
In Flour, however, a large business was done at 2s. per barrel
advance.
Beans Is. to 25., and Indian Corn 6s. pe
and all other articles more or less enhanced it

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 21

Continuing to have an expansive demand from various parts
of this country and Ireland, we have experienced a good steady
business generally throughout the trade since our report of
Tuesday; especially as regards Indian Corn, the finest quali-
ties of white attaining nearly 70s. per 4801ba., and all other
artigles, up to this date, firmly supporting the terms last noted.

We have but few arrivals of Gritin produce to report into this
place since Monday, except Indian Corn of which we have a
tolerably good supply.
Although more country buyers attended our Corn Exchange
to-day than is usual on ITidays, yet, owing to the present fine
weather, and the greatly improved appearance of all the coming
crops, the sales of Wheat were generally very limited in amount,
and all descriptions receded 201. per 701bs. below our last quo-
tations.—Flour also, being taken less freely than heretofore, a
decline of Is. was conceeded, prime Western brands not ex-
ceeding 485., and the lower kinds 465. to 475. per barrel.
Barley was in moderate request at late prices ; and Malt,
Baans, and Pease remained unvaried.—Oats being more diffi-
cat of sale were the turn cheaper; Oatmeal, notwithstanding,
was held on rather higher terms.
Indian Corn, continuing to meet a good inquiry, fully sup-
ported previous rates, and Indian Meal remained steady in
value.
