LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JITIS 2,

We are still rather scantily suppred with any kind of
produce, either Coastwise or from Ireland, and from
abroad the imports this week are only moderate. Of
Wheat, Oatmeal, and Bean., however, we continue to
have a good display of samples from granary, but, with
these exceptions, the stocks h.-re are comiaratively small.
Having a good attendance of town and country millers
at our market to-day, and the holders of Wheat submit-
ting to a decline of Id. to 2d. per 70Ihs. from th. 2 rates of
this day se'nnighr, sales, chiefly of the general runs of
foreign, were effected to a fair amount at that abatement.
English and Irish Flour was in moderate request, and
Canadian in good demand, each nearly supporting our
last quotations.
Barley and Malt were saleable upon a moderate scale
at late prices. Beans, on the contrary, attracting less
notice than for some time past, were Is. to 2s. per qr.
cheaper; and Pease might have been purchased on rather
easier terms.
Oats, although taken off sparingly, maintained former
prices; whilst Oatmeal commanded a tolerably free sale
at a small decline from our last currency.
Beyond a slight sprinkling this morning, we have bad
no appearance of rain since Tuesday last.

CORN EXCHANGE. JULY 5.
The duty on Foreign Rye has declined this week to Ea 6d. on
Pease to es 6d, and on Beans to 6s lid per quarter ; at the came
time falling a step upon the two former articles from British
Colonies.
With the exception of a few parcels of Oats from Ireland and
Coastwise, we have scarcely anything to report fresh in of
Pritish produce, and not a single arrival of Grain or Flour
from abroad.

Influenced by depressive accounts from most parts of the
country. arising fro.n the late favourable change in the weather,
and the improved appearance of the coming crops, the trade
here has ruled extremely quiet since Tue-day, rendering the
value of most articles little more than nominal.

About eight hours genial, but not heavy, rain in the course of
yesterday, combined with the absence of any leading country
buyers and au apparent determination on the part of our local
dealers to remain inactive, caused an excessively dull, lingering
sale this morning for Grain of all descriptions; seeing no utility,
however, in pressing business on lower terms, holders of Wheat
continued to require the sates of Tuesday, and it was therefore
in a few trifling occurrences alone that a small abatement was
conce.led. English, Irish and Cana.dan Flour, as serving to
answer the immediate purposes of needy buyers, was iu mode-
rate request at late prices.
Barley and Malt, although in limited demand, sustained their
previous value; whilst Beans and Pease, being much less
not ced than heretofore, were decidedly the turn cheaper.
Oats, participating in the langour existing so generally in
other Grain, merely retained former prices.—Oatmeal. no'.
withstanding, continued to attract some inquiry for invest-
ment, and several parcels were taken on the terms last noted.
The bonded market being wholly neglected, no business in
that branch of the trade has transpired to-day.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JULY 3.
During the present. week, the Wheat trade has been exceerl-
ingly inanimate. 0wm,..: to the continued depression in Mark-
lane. Holders of English are not. however, disposed to give
way much in price. Malting Barley continues to find buyers,
both, for consumption and to hold over. at 35s to 37s per imperial
quarter. Grinding quality held at 32s to 33s per e-921bs. Bea
and Oats are less in request, the showers in various parts of the
country having somewhat improved the prospect for these
crops, and less money would be t.,ken for secondary qualities.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JULY 8.
IA e have to ulna e less activity in the Butter trade this week,
and the Finest Kilkenny Brands Cann: t be quoted higher than
765. Top Belfast 745. The make appears to he very large this
Prime2s' Beef and Pork scarce, and in but believe for a quantity ;as
season, and we beg n to exper•erice its effect. in the liberal
supplies in. w coming in front all parts of Irel nd. Pickle

er al held at 7
good demand, the former at Sts to 865 per tierce,—the latter at
58s to 65s per barrel B icon goes off in a very animated
manner at 40s to 42s for the best Belfast.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JuLY 6.
We have had a dill trade during the week, but without any
deci itcl change in the val ie of good fresh qualities of each
article.
Arrivals of home and foreigh pr-duce are small both so this '
and the ther m irkets of this distri t.
The weather is dull and gloomy, but with the exception of
a few hours light ra n on Thursday evening, it has continued
dryß .
it little is doing at our market to-day, and though the turn
of prices is in favour of the buyer, there is no undue pressure
on the part of holders, awl we do not vary the quotations of
our last in any degree worthy of remark. This observation is
applicable to every article of the trade.
It may be remarked that our stocks of warehnused Flour are
neatly cleared off, whilst the amiunt of fresh arrival is not
equal to the consumption, which will tend to lighten the
pressure of the Canadian import.
