LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 25.

Since our report of the 18th instant, the supplies into
this place and Runcorn include a moderate quantity of
Oats and Flour from Ireland ; but of other produce thence,
and of anything Coastwise the receipts are inconsiderable ;
and the arrivals from abroad by no means excessive.
At our market this morning, the recent imports of fo-
reign Wheat continued to be offered freely, to pay duty
as sales can be effected ; and having a liberal display of
samples, even prime qualities hardly maintained our lost
currency ;—all other descriptions of Foreign, including
the general runs of English and Irish, declining Id. to
2d. per 701b5., at which a moderate extent of business
was transacted.

Englishalld Irish Flour, although rather more sale-
able, receded Gd. per sack ; and States, as well as Cana-
dian, upon a very dull sale, must be noted 6d. per barrel
cheaper.
Having had a heavy fall of rain here yesterday, and
our advices from Ireland speaking much more favourably
of the crops than heretofore, owing to the frequency of
sho vers in most parts of that country, the demand for all
spring corn experienced a further check to-day; and Bar-
ley, Malt, Beans. and Pease might have been purchased
on rather easier terms. .

Oats being also in very limited request, were the turn
lower in value ; whist of Oatmeal, in consequence of
holders giving way 3d per load, sales to a fair extent were
effected at that abatement.

CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 29

The duty on Foreign Beans having receded for several weeks,
is now reduced to 7s 6d, that on Foreign Pease to ys Ed, and on
Colonial Pease to Is per qr., the impost on all other produce
remaining as before.
The supplies re eived into this post since Tuesday last are
altogether u' usually light, having scarce'y anything worth
naming either Coastwise or from Ireland : and of Grain or
Flour from abroad we have not a single arrival to notice in our
import list today. Of Wheat, Oatmeal, and Beans, however,
the stocks in granary are amply sufficient to meet the demand
for consumption, but of other articles here, those remaining
over are comparatively small.

The benefiClal rains-mentioned in our previous advices were
succeeded by further heavy showers on Tuesday night, since
when the weather has become more settled ; meanwhile the
spring Corn and root crops in this direction having assumed,
with some exceptions on arid soils, a greatly improved appear-
ance, and that of Wheat in most instances exhibiting the pro-
rid e of a fair, if not an abundant, yield ; the trade here, from
the close of our last market until to-day, has been wholly free
from excitement, and prices generally rather inclining down-
wards.

Notwithstanding the causes expressed in the foregoing re-
marks, no eager disposition was evinced this mo ning on the
part of holders to press sales of Wheat, although our local
buyers were extremely inactive, and the business transacted in
this Grain was mainly confined to a few parcels taken by three
or four millers from the interior, on terms, in some cases equal
to, and in others at a decline of, Id per 70Ib. from our last cur.
rency. English and Irish Flour, upon a very limited demand,
hardly supported late prices, at which, however, Canadian corn.
manded rather more attention; and of States Flour in bond
800 barrels changed hands at 22s per barrel, the same price being
offered, but refu.ed, for a larger quantity.
Barley, in which we observed little passing to-day, appeared
firmly to sustain its previous value; and Malt was rather dearer.
Beans and Pease, on the contrary, appeared to be much less
noticed than of ltte, and Barley retained our last quota ions.
Oats were likewise in slow reques , but from the small quan-
tity at hand, former prices were maintained; and Oatmeal, in
the ab ence of country dealers, moved off very sparingly at the
rates last noted.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 29.
We had some showers on Monday and Tuesday last, but are
still without any weight of rain.

The trade during the week has bees fiat and prices have
scarce y been supported.
At this day'. market but little business is done. We do not
alter our former quotations for Wheat, but the tur.. is in fay or
of the buyer. Flour meets a slow sale, and a reduction of Is
p r sack and barrel. Oats and Oatmeal nominally, as last
quoted, but s ,leable in retail quantities only.
Beans and Malt fully as dear.
