goods of all 'kinds, and that groceries, provisions, &e., were a

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.--THIS DAY.
The very scanty arrivals into this port for some weeks past
having been somewhat increased within the last few days, we
have to note a moderate onantity of Wheat and Flour, with a
good supply of Indian Corn, from the United States, exclusive
of several cargoes of several cargoes of Wheat and Beans from
Europe and Egypt, but, except Malt, little produce either
coastwise or from Ireland; as, however, the wind is- n)w
favourable, more grain vessels are shortly expected from abroad,
several from the south of Europe being now at Falmouth wait-
ing orders to proceed.
Notwithstanding the favourable change in the weather, and
the improved appearance of the growing crops, the Wheat
trade at our market this. morning was firm at the prices of
Tuesday, and a fair amount of business was transacted for
consumption, the millers being mostly bare of stock.
Flour was also in tolerably good demand, at the fultrates
of this day week for American brands generally, but in Irish
little or no business was done.
Barley, Beans, and Pease ruled much the same as before.
Malt being more plentiful, was Is. per qr. cheaper.
Oats were the turn dearer, 2s. lid. per 451 b. having been
paid for choice mealers. Oatmeal, however, was extremely
dull, but was held firmly at the rates of Tuesday last
Indian Corn, continuing to be taken freely fe
maintained the rates of this day se'nuight. In
