LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCTOBER 17.
The arrivals into this port Coastwise since Tuesday last
are trivial, while those of Irish produce, notwithstanding
the prevalence of boisterous weather, are still to a fair
extent; we have also to notice 3136 quarters of Wheat
from the Baltic and Mediterranean' and 2955 barrels
Flour from Canada, the latter admissible at the low fixed
duty of 744 per barrel.
This morning's market opened with much confidence
on the part of holders, and having a good attendance of
both town and country millers, sales of new Irish Wheat
were readily effected to a fair extent, at an improvement
of 3d. to 4d. per bushel on the rates of this day week ;
and several parcels were again taken on speculation. Fo-
reign as well as Englis Wheats may be noted Id. to 2d.
dearer, but were in comparatively limited demand.
Fresh Irish Flour was in moderate request at previous
rates; in. Foreign little doing.

Prime Malting Barley, were any at hand, would bring
345. to 3tis. per quarter. Beans and Pease in slow re-
quest, without alteration in value.

Oais and Oatmeal ►net a better sale to-day, recovering
the decline stated on Friday last.

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY,

The duties on Foreign Wheat and Flour have now advanced
to Sus per quarter and 12s per barrel respectively ; on Barley
also the impost is raised this week to as ; on Colonial Barley to
!s. and on Beans to 2s 6,1 per quarter.
The moderate fresh suppiies of the past few days are almost
exclusively from Ireland, having very little Coastwise, and
scarcely an arrival from abroad; thus with much less pressure
on the market, consequent upon the improved demand experi-
enced last week, a tolerable inquiry from the millers, and se.
veral parcels of Wheat taken on speculation, the trade has con-
tinued to preserve a firm aspect, and for this grain at least the
tendency has been again to rather better prices.
At this day's market there was a pretty good attendance of
the trade new Irish Wheats, still comina,,cling a preference,
were mostly eleared off at an advance of Id to 2d per bushel
over Tuesday's quotations, and in this description a fair amount
of busine•s was done; Foreign Wheats were also held for a
slight improvement, but sales were by no means freely made.—
Good fresh Irish flour met a steady sale, and obtained rather
more money, while American and Canadian parcels, of which
little choice quality is offering, remained in slow reqnest, with.
out amendment in value. There are buyee sof States Flour in
bond, but no prime brands to be under 2.ts per barrel.
We are still without any supply of Malting Barley, the first ar-
rivals of which will find ready sales; grinding* samples, as well
as Beans and Pease, are in moderate request at our last cur-
rency.

Mealing Oats were more inquired for today, and a few lots of
prime new Irish remaining unsold, such brought 2s 4,id to 2s 5d
per 4 ilt).—Oatmeal, Loth new and old, was held firmly for fnll
prices; considerable fr e on board sales have been made this
week, and, at a little below our quotations, some quantity on
hand would be taken to hold over.
