LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,--THIS DAY.
Since our first report this week, we have had a great deal
of almost constant heavy rain and boisterous winds, which,
although very little corn remains out within the circle of a
few miles around us, will, if general, at least protract the
harvest in late situations. This unfavourable change in the
weather, however, produced no effect upon the trade here
during the last two days, the transactions on the whole hav-
ng been unimportant, with scarcely any variation in prices
from the current rates of Tuesday.

The duty is advanced on Foreign Wheat to 10s. Bd., on
Pease to 3s. 6d. per quarter, on Flour to 6s. sd. per barrel ;
reduced on Rye to lls. per quarter, and remains unaltered
upon Barley, Oats, and Beans. Upon British Colonial pro-
duce duties continue the same as last week.

Beyond 360 quarters coastwise, we have no Wheat from
any quarter fresh in for to-day, nor any other grain worth
notice : of Flour also, only 2400 barrels, just in time to meet
the charge of 4s. Several vessels, however, are near at hand
from the American States, with Wheat and Flour, which
will be subject to the present increased duty ; and upon such
as may arrive after Thursday next, a still higher rate is anti-
cipated.

The weather becoming fine again to-day, and having a very
slender attendance of buyers, the trade for all descriptions
of Wheat was extremely languid, and although holders were
not generally disposed to recede, a few partial sales were
made at a small decline from our last quotations. Barrel
Flour, on the contrary, was in moderate request, on the
terms previously noted, English, at the same time, remain-
ing unvaried.
Without any supply of Malting Barley, no price is yet de-
termined for new ; and Foreign grinding samples being ne-
glected, remain little more than nominal in value. Malt
very unsaleable, at former rates. Beans, restricted to a li-
mited retail demand, hardly sustained former prices, and
Pease were decidedly rather cheaper.
Oats, although continuing to excite very little notice, were
held at late prices.—Oatmeal ruled extremely dull at an
abatement of Is. to 25., the best Irish new not exceeding
335. to 345., and old 275. to 28s. per 240 lbs.

ARRIVALS OF CORN,
