LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE

APRIL 3,

Although we have to report some additional arrivals since
Friday, the supplies of grain coastwise and from Ireland, dur.
ing the entire week, are only moderate; whilst those from
abroad are still light? except Indian Corn, of which the import
is liberal, and the shipments to Ireland nearly commensurate.
During part of last week the weather was favourable here,
but was interrupted by a thunder-storm passing over thiieplace
with awful violence on Sunday ; since then it has been as fine
as possible, with a degree of heat more like June than April,
and in this respect our advices from various parts of the United
Kingdom now generally concur.
Accounts from the leading markets of this country and Ire-
land, continue to report a further remission in prices; which,
coa.bined with the peculiar state of commercial affairs in Eng-
land, and political events upon the continent of Europe, seem to
induce all parties connected in the Corn trade, to limit their
engagements within the narrowest bounds possible for the
moment.

There has been an excessively dull market this morning, with
a general decline in prices. The reduction from the rates of
this day week may be noted :

Old Wheats 2d., and new 3d. to 4d. per 70Ibs.
Irish Flour 2s. per sack, American ls. per barrel.
Barley and Malt each Is. per quarter.
Beans and Pease ls. per quarter.
Oats lid. per 451b5., and Oatmeal 6d. per load.
Indian Corn 2s. per quarter, Corn Meal Is. to Is. 6d. per brl

ORN 1

XCHANGE, APRIL 7

At this day's market we have to reiterate a very languid and
indifferent trade for Wheat of all descriptions : the importers,
of foreign, however, tired of so frequently conceding lower
prices, refused to submit to any further reduction this morn-
ing, and for such, of which very few sales were feasible, we re-
tain our last quotations ; whilst all qualities of new, receding
Id. to 2d. per 701 b., the transactions therein were upon a mode-
rate scale at that abatement.—Home-made and Irish Flour,
although in slow request, was held at Tuesday's rates; but
States and Canadian, except choice brands of old, declined 6d.
per barrel.
Malting Barley, from the late period of the working season,
was the turn cheaper; grinding samples, on the contrary, re-
mained steady in value, and Malt was rather dearer, prime
qualities commanding 60s. per quarter.—Beans and Pease,
upon► a limited inquiry, hardly maintained former prices.
Oats and Oatmeal, exciting little attention, were slightly de-
pressed in value.

Indian Corn, being offered 6d. to Is. per quarter lower, met a
fair demand for Ireland; and Corn Meal was rather more sale-
able at a decline of 6d. per barrel.
