CORN.

'LIVERPOOL, MAY 19.—We have not so many buyers
to-day, from any considerable distance, as of late ; there
is, however, a fair inquiry for wheats at about 2d per
bushel
•advance upon Tuesday's currency, prime qualities
still taking the preference of the demand, middling and
inferior descriptions remaining unimproVed in value. The
sale for flour is extensive, that for consumption being
considerable, in addition to many parcels taken to hold
over, prices closing (td to is per barrel higher, and
amongst the lots offered, comparatively little of really
choice quality is to be selected. Barley in fair request,
and a trifle dearer. Beans a steady sale at previous rates.

principally in fleece, and prime qualities in active demand,
