LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARCR 16

We have to note for this day's market a liberal supply
most kinds of Grain produce, coastwise and froth abroad, es-
pecially of Indian Corn and Flour, of which the importation is
abundant, and the export to Ireland considerable.
Uninfluenced by the stability of other English markets,
these large supplies, and those into Ireland exceeding the pre-
sent demand, have produced a depressing effect upon the trade
here; for, although a numerous attendance of local and coun-
try millers appeared this morning, the transactions in any de-
scription of Wheat were upon a limited scale, and a decline of
3d. per 701 b. from the rates of Tuesday last was generally con-
ceded. English and Irish Flour being extremely difficult to
sell, each was nominally cheaper, and American in slow re-
quest at an abatement of 2s. to 2s. fid. per barrel.
Barley, except a few parcels taken occasionally for seed,
evinced a tendency to recede in value; and Malt, commanding
little inquiry, must be noted Is. per qr. lower.—Beans were
also rather depressed in value.—Pease, upon a moderate sale,
maintained late prices.—Oats, continuing nearly without in-
quiry, gave way Id. per 451 b., and Oatmeal is. per load.

CORN R

'CHANGE, MARCH

The list underneath shows a good'arrival of 'Wheat and Alalt,
Coastwise, but little else, either thence or from Ireland since
Monday; and though we have scarcely any fresh supply of
Foreign Wheat, that of Indian Corn and Flour is to a fair
extent.

With a moderate demand for Wheat, but little animation in
other kinds of Grain, prices in general have remained steady,
except those of Indian Corn, which, during the last two days
continued rather on the wane; Flour, on the contrary, assumed
a new and more lively character, many parcels having been
taken for export to France at 40s. ; and should this avenue con-
tinue open, our future prices will of course be affected more or
less by the expansion or contraction of the demand for that
country.
At our Corn Exchange this morning the trade opened with a
moderate sale of Wheat to consumers, a few lots on Irish ac-
count and for shipment coastwise, all descriptions of this grain
manifesting a tolerable degree of firmness at Tuesday's rates.
Sack Flour being still very scarce remained unaltered in value.
American continuing in active request, upwards of 30,000 brls.
are reported to have changed hands since Tuesday, good
Western brands readily commanding 405., and other qualities
proportionate terms.
Prime English Barley sells at his prices for seed, but for
Malting purposes there appears little inquiry, and Grinding
samples. as well as Malt, must be noted rather cheaper. Beans
and Pease continued to rule much the same as stated in our
last report. Oats and Oatmeal, being nearly without demand
were slightly depressed in value.
Indian Corn, moving less freely for Ireland, has receded to
Os. to 635. per 4801 b., and Indian Meal to 258. 10;304, per brl.
