CORN EXCHANGE

MARCII 10.

.....
We have a moderate supply of Wheat, Flour, and Oatmeal
from Ireland, but little of other produce thence or coastwise,
and beyond a further quantity of Indian Corn and Corn Meal,
with 1103 barrels of Flour from the United States, there are no
fresh foreign arrivals to hand worth naming since Monday last
The only alteration in the duties is an advance on foreign
Wheat to 7s. per qr., and on Flour to 4s. W. per barrel.
Accounts from most of the English and Irish markets this
week report a steady trade, hut, generally speaking, without
any material change on previous quotations : here, during the
interval since Tuesday, the late improvement in Wheat has
been scarcely sustained, and we have had less business doing
in that or other grain. except Indian Corn, for which a good
many Irish orders have continued to conic forward.

Having an unusually slender attendance of country buyers
at our Corn Exchange to-day, and a decided reluctance on the
part of our local dealers to purchase any thing beyond their
immediate requirements, most articles of the trade exhibited
a more languid appearance than for some time past ; in any
description of Wheat, therefore, the transactions were strictly
of a retail character, and in some cases holders submitted to a
slight abatement from our last currency.—lrish and American
Flour, likewise, were in limited request and the turn lower in
value.

Barley of prime Malting quality was in moderate demand ;
but grinding samples,_ as well as Malt, met very little notice
and barely maintained our last quotations.—Beans and Pease
remained unvaried.—Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of
country demand this morning, were taken sparingly at late
prices.

I- Notwithstanding the limited notices paid to other branches
of the trade, Indian Corn continued to attract a fair degree of
attention for Ireland at the rates of Tuesday; yet in Corn Meal,
which was held at former prices, little business was apparent.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. MARCH 10.
In consequence of the unsettled state of the manufacturing
districts in this neighbourhood, and the political disturbances
on the Continent, which have caused a want of confidence in
all mercantile transactions, the market continues to be very
much depressed, and prices of American have again declined
fully id. per lb., in which all other kinds have more or less
partaken; making, during the last fortnight, a reduction of
id. to id. per lb. 400 American have been taken on specula-
tion, and 560 American for export.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. MARCH 7.
In addition to Friday's arrivals, we have a few more parcels of
Wheat, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland ; whilst of any other
produce thence, as well as of all articles coastwise and from
abroad, our market continues to be very scantily supplied.
Our market this morning was, in general, by no means so
lively as yesterday. Old Wheat hardly exceeded the advance
of Friday; New, however, must be noted 2d. to 3d. per bushel
dearer than on this day week.
Flour respectively Gd. to Is. per sack and barrel dearer.
In Barley, Malt, and Beans no change to note.
Oats in moderate request, at an improvement of fully I d. per
451 b.
In Oatmeal no variation.
Indian Corn and Corn Meal merely supported the amend-
ment of Friday.
