LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. OCT. 30

The arrivals into this port since Tuesday last from Ireland,
consisting principally of Wheat, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal,
form collectively a liberal supply ; but of grain coastwise
we have still very little to notice and the imports from abroad
having fallen off considerably this week, the arrivals from the
United States and Canada are trivial, and those from the Euro-
pean continent furnish merely 3,602 qrs. of Indian Corn.
The heavy rains which prevailed last week are reported to
have extended over a large portion of this country and Ireland;
not only impeded the cultivation of the soil, but affected the
condition of new Grain brought forward by the farmers, and
in both countries the markets, with very few exceptions, are
quoted lower. The weather since the close of the week, how-
ever, has been fine here; and Wheat sowing, in which conside-
rable progress had been previously made, is again proceeding
favourably.

We have had an excessively dull lingering market this morn-
ing in every department of the Corn trade, and a decline in
Foreign Wheats of Id. to 2d. was submitted to ; the general
runs of Irish being hardly saleable at a decline of ld. to 2d.,
and the damp and inferior kinds 3d. per 70lb. ; English
Wheats at the same time being nominally rather cheaper.
Prime brands of American Flour were held at late prices,
inferior kinds rather lower; and Irish Is. per sack cheaper.
A few limited retail sales of Barley, Malt, Beans, and. Peas,
constitute the only transactions in those articles to-day.
Oats receded id. per 451b5., and Oatmeal 3d. per load.
Indian Corn held nearly late prices, but scarcely any sales
were effected.

Our New York accounts to the 17th inst. give a reduction of
18 to 25 cents on Flour, the full receipts from the interior hav-
ing increased, though not equal to those up to the same time
last year i and without considerable further accession of quan-
tity, it does not appear that exports will for some time be
otherwise than limited; Indian Corn in better supply, and
prices rather giving way ; closing dull for both these articles.—
Exports very trivial, and freights still very low.—Exchange
dull, 109 to 1101.

CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 2.

Although the fresh arrivals from Ireland are less liberal,and
those from abroad consist chieflyaf a few parcels of Flourand
Indian Corn only, the supply of most articles leftover from
last week has been more than sufficient for the •wants of the
trade here. which, correspondingly with other markets of this
country, has ruled exceedingly dull since our last, without,
however, any marked alteration in prices, except in new
Wheats, the best of which have barely supported value, all
secondary qualities offering with little effect at lower rates,
and Indian Corn, which from the eessntinn of anan"l.+;...

apeuuiauve
demand is obtainable on the spot, as well as afloat, on slightly
easier terms. The Irish markets have not as yet yielded in
proportion with those at this side thewater, but most of them
though not by any means freely supplied by the growers, have
receded in a greater or less degree.
Having a thin attendance of local and neighbouring millers
at this morning's market, and fewer from a distance than for
some time past, we have to notice a continuance of the dulness
and inactivity described in our last, as pervading all branches
of the trade, in most of which it has been necessary to accept
lower prices in order to make even moderate progress in sales.
Fine old Foreign Wheats have been taken to a limited extent at
nearly previous rates, but all lower qualities, as well as new
Irish, must be quoted Id. to 2d. per 701 b. cheaper than on
Tuesday, and very few parcels disposed of. Choice brands of
old American Flour remain unaltered in value, while inferior
descriptions are nominally 6d. to Is. per barrel lower, and the
most sorts very unsaleable, Irish Flour, except prime well-
known marks, are also rather depressed in value. Barley,
Malt, and Pease are held for late prices, with little doing, and
Egyptian Beans are steady, 245. 6d. being refused for good
quality to-day. Oats, notwithstanding a comparatively small
quantity on offer, receded id. per 451 b., and Oatmeal was not
saleable, except in mere retail, above 21s. per load. Indian
Corn is at present without demand ; more parcels are offering
from granary, and we reduce the rate for both white and yel
low, nominally 6d. per quarter. Sale of a cargo of Galatz was
reported yesterday at a similar decline, namely, 275. per quar-
ter, cost, freight, and insurance.
