LIVERPOOL MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2-1.

Our fresh arrivals of Oats, Oatmeal, and Flour have been
more liberal than for some time; but of Wheat and all other
free articles they continue extremely light, and we have also
very little to report from abroad within the past few-days.
The extensive decline in prices noted on Tuesday has been
succeeded by renewed confidence in the trade, and, a similar
feeling being manifested in London on Wednesday, higher
rates were demanded here for both Free and Bonded Wheats,
with a moderate extent of business doing. At to-da3's market
the attention of buyers was chiefly directed to foreign samples
of this grain under lock, and, with the almost certainty of the
duty arriving at the lowest point in three or four weeks
many parcels were taken off by our home and distant millers,,
as well as by speculators, for forward delivery, at an advance
of 3d. to 6d. per 701bs. on the currency of Tuesday, for
general runs, and one cargo of very superior White Danzig
realised as much as Ils. per 701bs. in bond.
These prices being still relatively lower than those of Eng-
lish, we had, at the same time, little doing in the latter or in
Irish, and, though rather more money was demanded, no
improvement could be established.----English and Irish Flour
found a moderate sale, at fully late prices, but we did not
hear of any transactions in the bonded article.
For Barley we have very little inquiry, and its value rather
receding in consequence.—Malt, Beans, and Peas, without
alteration.

The trade both for Oats and Oatmeal was exceedingly
slack to-day, having scarcely a country buyerat market, and
each might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms ;
good samples of the latter were offered at 30s. per =lbs.
