LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 28.

Although since the close of last week we have had some
further supplies of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, coastwise
and from Ireland, the amount thence is, on the whole,
still very moderate : from abroad, however, we have again
to note a liberal import of Wheat, with a few limited par-
cels of Barley, Oats, Indian Corn, and Flour, as specified
below.

In the leading 'markets of this district during the past
week, notwithstanding the continuance of drought which
is daily more generally complained of, Beans alone were
rather dearer, even Oats and other Spring Corn, though
firm, appearing to be unsusceptible of improvement; and
Wheat, though less affected by the present state of the
weather, was decidedly somewhat cheaper. _
At our market this morning there W4S a moderate en-
quiry for good English, Irish, and foreign free Wheats ;
but. most holders refusing to submit to any further abate-
ment, and others tO estnall decline only, the operation
in consequence were Ihnited, and the trade on the whole
languid.

Flour of all descriptions was rather more saleable than
on Friday,. with very little change in prices.
Baqey,, 141lt, and Pease, continued to rule nearly the
same as last week ; and Beans, upon a fair demand, rather
exceeded the'advance then stated.

Oats, at length, beginning to excite more attention,
realized Id. per 451bs. over the rates of this day se'nnight ;
and Oatmeal, though not in lively request, must be noted
6d. per 2,101b5. above the currency of that date.

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 31.
The duty on Foreign Barley has advanced this week to is,
and receded on Colonial Beans to Is 6d per quarter, previous to
which it is supposed the bulk of the former in this country has
been released from bond; upon all other produce the import
rates continued unvaried.

Besides the arrivals into this port, Coastwise and from Ire-
land since Tuesday. which, taken together are still very limited
in amount; we have to note a fair supply of Wheat and Pease,
with a few lots of Barley, Beans and Flour from abroad; and
though from the American States or Canada we have nothing
fresh in to-day, tolerably extensive imports of Wheat and Flour
from the latter source are anticipated in the course of June and
the succee 'log months of summer.
In consequence of the continued prevalence of dry weather,
the trade here 'from Tuesday until to-day, exhibited an In-
creased degree of stability, and upon a moderate scale of busi-
ness, the general range of prices, current in the early part of
the week, was steadily maintained.

Upon a slender aitend-ince only of country millers at our
Corn Exchange to-day, and no desire evinced by our local
dealers to purchase snore than was needful to serve their im-
mediate purposes, the transactions in any description of Eng-
li Irish, or Fore"gn free Wheat progressed rather more slowly
than was expected ; but with unbated firmness on the part of
holders, the general rates of Tuesday last were fully sustained.
Home manufactured and Irish Flour, was more saleable and the
turn dearer : whilst States and Canadian continued to meet a
very limited demand on the terms last noted.

Barley, Malt and Pease, upon an improved inquiry, fully sup-
ported late prices; and all sorts of free Beans were in fair re-
quest at a further advance of is per quarter.
Oats, continuing to command a moderate degree of attention,
retained the advance of Tuesday; and Oatmeal, in limited
sales to consumers, realised a slight amendment in value.
In additicn to the late extensive operations in Egyptian Beans
under lock, several further parcels have been taken again
to-day at 22s per 4901 b. for investment; hut in other articles
either in bond or afloat, no sales have transpired.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JuNE 3.
The sales to-day have been rather heavier than of late, reach-
ing 4,5c0 bales. Prices continue low and the feeling heavy,
with a declining tendency. Buyers still hold back, in expecta-
tion of heavy arrivals, but their stocks are low, and want re-
plenishing.
