LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JU►.Y 8

Exclusive of a moderate quantity of Wheat and a good
supply of Flour from Ireland, we have received but little
produce either thence or coastwise since this day week ;
and from abroad the present import is trivial.
The last week closing with two days of very fine wea-
ther, a moderate portion of the Hay crop in this vicinity
was secured ; but a return of heavy rain on Sunday night,
and occasional showers since, have interrupt d any far-
ther active operations therein. Similar accounts have
reached us from various other parts of the kingdom, and
a consequent rise in the value of Wheat, both in the agri-
cultural counties and in the large consuming towns of
this district, has give❑ a further stimulus to the trade
here ; and at this day's market the holders of Wheat have
been firm, at the full advance of Friday, thereby raising
our quotations 2d. per 701 b. over the rates of Tuesday
last, and some parcels of prime Irish were held on still
higher terms, which not being freely complied with on the
part of buyers, the sales this morning have not been ex-
tensive.

Sack Flour, upon a fair demand, was ls. per 2801bs
dearer.

Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, remained unaltered in
value, but very few of each were sold.

Oats and Oatmeal were taken off sparingly at last
week's prices.
A cargo of Stettin Wheat was sold yesterday in bond,
at ss. per 70 lbs.

CORN EXCHANGE, JULY IT.
The duty on Foreign Pease is reduced to 4s. 6d. per quarter,
being the only change therein this week.
A moderate supply of Wheat and Fiour from Ireland, with
upwards of 5003 qrs. of Malt coastwise, form the principal arri-
vals thence since Tuesday. The fresh imports of Canadian pro-
duce are rather limited, and those from the other countries
abroad confined to a few parcels of Dutch and Egyptian Beans.
With variable winds and oft repeated rains, the weather con-
tinues very precarious and unsettled, and influences the state of
our market acco.dingly. During the past two days a large ex-
tent of business has been done in Irish and other free Wheats,
both with consumers and sp culative buyers, at an advance of
2d. per 701 h.; and considerable parcels of bonded might have
changed hands at full prices, had holders been disposed to sell.
—Sack Flour also acquired some improvement, and all other
articles were very steady in value. _ _

Although but few country millers appeared at our C...-rn Ex-
change this morning, the demand for Wheat was actively fol-
lowed up by the local trade, further considerable operations
h lving taken place, chiefly in Irish, at improving rates; all de-
3cripti,ms of free commanding 3d. to 4d., and Foreign in bond
ad. to 3d. over Tuesday's quotations, upwards of 6,00 qrs red
Stettin and Rostock. being sold to-day for investment at ss. 2d.
to Ss. 3d. per 7olb.—ln Irish Flour the transactions were upon a
moderate scale at an advance of Is. per sack ; and Canadian
free, exciting more attention, about 5000 barrels of the choicest
brands were di posed of at 275. 6d., with about 800 of States
underlock at Igs. 6d. per barrel.
Barley. Beans, and Pease, with little passing in each, remain-
ed unaltered in value; whilst Malt, from the large supply at
hand, was rather easier to purchase.
Exclus've of several parcels, taken by one or two buyers for
country account at late prices, the sales of Oats were unimport-
ant; and Oatmeal, upon a languid demand, merely supported
our last currency.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JULY 9

During the present week, the weather having been fine, the
Wheat trade ruled dull ; but we do not find that lower rates
were accepted. Most of the country markets, at the end of last
week, were dearer, which caused dealers to hold for full prices.
Barley a slow sale, at former currency. Oats have been dis.
posed of at a trifle less money. In Beans no alteration.
