LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JULY 20

Since Tnesday last the imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from
Ireland, Coastways and from Foreign Ports, have been very mode-
rate ; but from Canada our supplies of Flour have again been very
considerable.

With the exception of very heavy rain on the 15th instant, and a
few partial showers since, the weather during the past week, though
tantalizing to haymakers, has not been unfavourable for the crops
throughout the district; but it has been so rainy in the Southern
Counties, where their crops are more forward than with us, that
much excitement in the London Corn markets has occurred, and
sales to some extent have been there effected of Wheat at an ad-
vance of is' to 2s per qr, and of Flour at an advance of Is to is 6d
per sack, which has had its usual influence here and in our country
markets, and sales to a pretty considerable extent have been made
of both articles, free and iu bOnd, at nearly a similar advance;
for all other articles there has been a .better demand, though at
little or no improvement in prices ;—from the North East Counties
of Scotland reports are unfavourable of the weather, and of their
crops.

The only alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports
since Friday last is a reduction of Is per qr. on Wheat of 74d per
brl. on Flour, of Is 6d per qr. on Peas, and an increase of is Gd per
qr. on Rye :—a considerable quantity of Baltic Wheat in bond has
changed hands at 6s 3d to 7s per 70 lbs, and of United States Flour
at 245 6d to 2Ss 6d per brl. and of Canadian in bond at 32s per brl.
a general opinion prevails of a gradual advance in the prices, and
a decline in the duties, from the moderate stocks now remaining
in the hands of merchants, pipers and farmers.

At this day's market (which was very rainy,) the languor occa-
sioned by the fine weather of yesterday completely disappeared,
and a renewal of active demand was experienced from millers,
dealers and speculators, for Wheat and Flour, free and in bond,
at an advance of 3d to 4d per 70 lb, and of Is per barrel, at which
very considerable sales were effected ; but a steady adherence on
the part of the importers and holders to our highest prices quoted,
prevented more extensive transactions. All other articles par-
ticipated a little in this demand at a small increase in prices.
