LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 23.

Exclusive of Irish and American Flour, of which we
have a further good supply, the arrivals into this port
have been very little increased since the close of.the week; .
in consequence of which, and the limited proportion of
the stocks of Bonded Wheat, upon which the 16s. duty
has been paid throughout the kingdom, our market to-
day was expected to assume a better aspect ; but the sub-
dued tone in Mark-lane yesterday counteracting any ten-
dency to improvement here, we have to report a decline in
the value of English and Irish Wheat of Id., and in that of
the middle sorts of Foreign Id. to 2d. per 70 lbs. from the
rates of this day se'nnight, superior qualities of the latter
only sustaining late prices; and on these terms a mode-
rately fair quantity was taken for consumption.
Flour of all descriptions, continuing to move off spar-
ingly, receded 6d. to ls. per tack, and 6d. per barrel.
Barley and Malt, upon a very dull sale, were the turn
cheaper ; and Beans, as well as Pease, attended with a
slow retail demand, barely supported our last quotations.
Oats, commanding a moderate degree of attention,
were saleable at the full rates of this day week.—
Oatmeal, on the contrary, met a very limited inquiry,
although offered at a further abatement of 3d. per 2-10Ibs.
In the bonded market no business was apparent.

CORN EXCHANGE. Apnrr. 26.

An advance of as per quarter has occurred in the duty on
Foreign Barley. which is the only change this week.
The fresh arrivals of Grain Coastwise and from Ireland are
altogether extremely light, and we have only a limited quantity
of either Oatmeal or Flour; the Foreign imports comprise
merely a small cargo of Egyptian Beaus, and 1y25 barrels of
United States Flour:

e have had no animation in the trade between Tuesday
last and to-day, but no perceptible alteration in the value of
any article.
In addition to an averages number of local buyers, a few from
the interior appeared at our Corn Exchange to-day, directing
their attention principally to Oats. which, having met a ready
sale. the rates of Tuesday were fully maintained, and in some
cases good mealing qualities realised a slight amendment. The
transactions in Wheat, being re•tricted to the pressing wants of
consumers, was very monerate in amount, and inf lior sorts
were the turn low, r; all good descriptions, however, wire held
with a tolerable degree of thinness and steadily supported our
last quotations. _ _ _

English and Iri,h Flour, although in slow request, was not
cheaper; but States and Canadian, being, nearly. without in-
quiry. might have been purchased at a decline f 6d per barrel.
Barley, Malt and Pe .se, exciting very little notice, were
rather depressed in val,:e ; and Beans, upon a limited demand,
hardly sustained former prices.
Oatmeal, of which a few parcels only were disposed of to
country dealers at 21s per 24.1 b. was not generally pressed for
sale belo a' the currency of Tuesday.

In bonded or floating produce, the operations still appear to
remain wholly suspended.
