LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 11.
The arrivals, Coastwise and from Ireland, since this day
week, form collectively' a moderate supply of Grain,Flour,
and Oatmell; Whilst -Foreign Wheat continued to flow
into this port abundantly, amounting to 21,515 quarters,
chiefly from the Baltic, and partly from Ancona, Smyrna,
and Odessa ; with 5310 qrs of Beans from Egypt.
Since the close of last week we have had a few more
transient showers, but the weather has all the appearance
of being settled again to-day, and a copious fall of rain
will, be needful to impart any permanent benefit to Spring
Corn and the root crops generally : in any event, moisture
would now come too late for the present crop of Hay,
which, on most fields in this neighbourhood, is miserably
deficient; and the only hope of the farmer is a second
cutting, which superior soils alone can produce.
Although our market this morning was tolerably well
attended by town and country millers, the trade for all
descriptions of Wheat remained in the same languid state
as noted in our circular of Friday last, and in the few
limited sales which occurred, a decline of fully Id per
701 b. from the rates of this day week was generally con-
ceded.—Flour of every denomination was also taken very
sparingly, and rather depressed in value.
Grinding Barley, being in moderate request, was rather
dearer; and Malt, upon an improved demand, realised
an advance of Is. per quarter. Beans continued to be
held firmly, and, although not readily saleable, fully
• supported late prices. Pease, upon a more general in-
quiry, maintained our last quotations.
. Oats, exciting more lively attention, recovered the no-
minal decline of Friday, and for country account a good
extent of business was transacted ; Oatmeal, on the con-
trary, met a dull sale, at an abatement of fully 6d. per
2401 b. from the currency of this day se'nnight.
In the bonded market no sales have transpired to-day,
beyond a few parcels of White boiling Pease, at 28s. to
.30s. per quarter.

CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 14.

The duty-is reduced this week on Foreign Beans to es. Ed;
.on Colonial Rye to Is. ed., Beans to Is., and Pease to Is. Id. per
quarter.
We have a very scanty supply of English and Irish produce
to note since our advice of Tuesday last, and that of Foreign
,Wheat is trivial compared with the large arrivals previously in ;
we have to notice, however. 4,00 barrels of Flour from the
,United States, and one vossel, the first this season, with Wheat
and Flour, from Canada, not yet reported.
Although unrelieved by any rain since the early part of the
'week, the proceedings in the Corn trade here, have been uni-
formly languid from the close of our last market to the present
date, but with little or no variation in prices.
Having a good attendance of town and country millers at our
Corn Exchange to-day, and the holders of Wheat showing a
more willing desire to meet the terms offered, submitted to a de-
cline cf id. per Kolb. from the reduced rates of Tuesday; at
which, and especially in the gen ral runs of Foreign, a mode-
rately fair extent of business was transacted.—Flour, notwith-
standing. was difficult to sell, and any description of this artiele
barely sustained our last quotations.
• Barley commanding a ready sale, the test qualities ftily sup-
ported late prices, and of the middling and inferior kinds a toler-
abla clearance was made at an advance of 2d to 3d per delb.—
Malt remained steady ; and Beans as well as Pease, upon a mo-
derate demand, fully maintained their former value.
Oats, though not in the same lively request as on Tuesday,
continued to meet Some attention, and several further parcels
were disposed of to-day on the terms then stated.—Oatmeal was
held somewhat more firmly, and rather higher prices were re-
quired; but any material advance being unattainable, we are
scarcely justified in altering our quotations.
• Of Beans and Pease in bond, several further purchases have
been made, and of the former but few parcels are now offering.
