LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OcT. 8.

A tolerable number of vessels having entered this
port from Ireland ,ince Friday, the arrivals of the week
from the source offered a good supply of Wheat, Oats,
Flour, and Oatmeal; but, except a tew parcels of Barley
and Malt, we have still very little of any article in Coast-
wise, and beyond 1800 qrs. of Egyptian Beans, with a
small quantity of Pease from Danzic, no Grain is reported
from abroad; of States and Canadian Flour, however,
the import amounts to upwards of 18,000 barrels, exclu-
sive of 1442 bags from the East Indies.
Our market was well attended by town and country
millers, directing their views chiefly to Irish new Wheats,
in which sales to a fair extent were effected, the middle
and lower qualities partly recovering the reduced rates of
Friday, and prime samples realising id per 701 b. under
the terms of this day week ; whilst English new, of which
there was a tolerable quantity offering by the neighbour.
ing growers, moved off slowly at late prices; and Foreign,
as well as all other descriptions of old, were in very
limited request at our last quotations. Home made and
Irish Flour must be noted the turn cheaper; and Cana-
dian, including duty paid States Flour, hardly maintained
former prices.
Barley and Malt, having met little notice to-day, were
rather depressed in value. Beans and Pease, upon a mo-
derate demand, were held steadily at the currency of last
week.

Old Oats, of which very few parcels remain unsold,
were somewhat dearer again this morning ; but new, be-
coming more plentiful and taken sparingly, were full Id
per 451 b. lower than on Tuesday last. New Oatmeal
likewise receded further to-day, making the decline of the
week 6d per 2-101 b; and old, though in some request,
barely retained its previous value.
Of States Flour, under lock, about 7000 barrels have
changed hands during the week w►th►n the range of our
quotations, but in bonded grain nothing interesting has
recently transpired.

CORN EXCHANGE, OCTOBER :1

By the average returns of the kingdom, received this morning,
the duties remain wholly unaltered.

The high gales of wind which prevailed within the last three
days, having prevented many vessels from working into port,
the fresh supplies from Ireland are trivial; and with scarcely
anything Coastwise, we have bad no Grain or Flour up from
abroad since Tuesday. In the absence, therefore, of a sufficient
choice of new samples, and the millers preparing to wait the
receipt of more ample supplies, the demand for all Grain,
and particularly of Wheat, has been very unimportant. The
stale and ordinary intermixtures of Canadian Flour, however,
having been offered on low terms, and exciting the attention of
buyers, sales of these descriptions to the extent of about 10,000
barrels, were effected between Tuesday and to-day, at 218 to 23s
per barrel.
••' • •

Having very few country millers at our Corn-Exchange to-
day, and our home buyers remaining rather inactive, the tran-
sactions in any description of Wheat were but limited in
amount : a sample or two of prime Irish in a very slight degree
exceeded our last quotations, the general runs of Irish and
English new, as well as all kinds of duty-paid Foreign, con-
tinuing to meet a siow retail demand at late prices. Flour of
all denominations, likewise, moved off rather sparingly on the
terms last noted ; and of the low qualities of Canadian scarcely
any appeared for sale this morning.
Barley, Beans, and Pease, fully maintained the rates of
Tuesday, and Malt was rather more saleable.
Old Oats, being still extremely scarce. were held at the ad-
vance of last week, but were less noticed to-day • and new,
upon a languid demand, were the turn cheaper. Oatmeal, on
the contrary, was in good request for country consumption,
His general qualities of old readily supporting our last cur ency.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 11.

We have to report a large arrival of Wheat to this day's
market, but not much of other Grain. The Wheat t, ade has
been very heavy, at a decline of is per quarter upon new, but
the best samples of old maintain their value. Oats, Shelling,
and Beans, are also heavy sale, at rather lower prices.
