CORN EXCHANGE': Atio. 27.
We continue to receive good sup Plies of Foreign Wheat, In-
dian Corn, and Flour, the great"butk of the last-named article
being, as usual, from the United States, whilst the arrivals
Coastwise and from Ireland are light; as the Irish markets,
however, will shortly begin to be filled with new Grain, we may
expect them to increase weekly.
During the past two days we had less activity in the demand
for Flour, which together with other articles of the trade,
barely supported late prices.
Although, generally speaking, all speculative feeling has sub-
sided for the present, the Wheat trade this morning assumed a
rather firmer aspect, the sales to consumers having been to a
moderately fair extent, and prices fully equal to the current
rates of Tuesday. Superior brands of American Flour, war-
ranted sweet, though not so free a sale of late, continued also
to maintain the above quotations, the stale and all doubtful
qualities, during the day, moving slowly at a decline of Is. per
barrel.

Barley, upon a limited demand, was the turn cheaper, and
malt received 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Beans difficult of sale on
the terms last noted ; and Pease, being scarcely noticed, were
nominal in value. Old Oats, both Irish and Foreign, met little
inquiry at an abatement of 2d. per4slbs , and Irish new, though
of fine quality, were rather depressed in value.
With somewhat more inquiry for Ireland, the best descrip-
tions of Indian Corn fully realised previous rates, and feeding
parcels were in good request at is. per 480 lbs. advance.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET. Aua. 27.

Sugar.—There has been a slight improvement in the demand,
rarticularly for white Bengal, but no change in price, and the
sales are 500 hhds. B. P., and 4500 bags Bengal, at the quo-
tations. Foreign.—The demand is confined to exporters ; the

cargo of 1200 boxes, of similar quality, has been sold, afloat, at

golasses.—The arrivals within the last fortnight have been
very large, but the trade being unwilling to hold stocks, im-
porters have not been able to effect sales, though prices below
the quotations would be accepted.
Coffee.—The demand is not active, but prices are well sup-
ported : 90 tces,Jamaica, at auction, brought fully last week's
rates It. Foreign, the sales are confined to 100 bags Porto

are a little more inquired for, at rather improved rates ; the

wanted.
