LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY.
Owing in some degree to adverse winds, we have had
very few Grain vessels up since Friday ; the supplies in Coast-
wise and from Ireland are consequently small, and with the
exception of 5751 barrels of States Flour, we have little
more foreign produce to notice.
With the continuance of fine warm weather of late, the
growing crops in this district have been greatly improved ;
but from the drought which now prevails, rain, in all situa-
tions, would be very acceptable, and in many, without an
early change, vegetation will inevitably suffer—the appre-
hension of which has produced some effect upon the trade
to-day for Oats and Oatmeal, the former having been taken
rather freely, for remote counties, at a further advance upon
that above stated, thereby raising our quotations full 2d. per
451bs. over those of Tuesday last, while the latter, upon a
more general inquiry, was ls. per sack dearer.

We have had a fair demand this morning for fine fresh
Baltic Wheats, at the full rates of this day se'nnight, and
several parcels of new Irish have again been sold for re-
shipment; but notwithstanding the improvement in Lon-
don yesterday, no advance could be established here on any
description of this Grain.
Barley, Malt, and Pease ruled much the same as on Fri-
day. Beans being scarce, and in request, realised an im-
provement of Is. to 2s. per quarter.
English and Irish Flour remained in the same dull state es
before ; but in duty paid foreign, the transactions were con-
siderable, at a decline of 6d. ; and of bonded states Flour
7000 to 8000 barrels have changed hands at 27s ad to 28s in
the course of last week and to-day.
