LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JuLy 2.

We are still rather scantily supplied with any kind of
produce, either Coastwise or from Ireland, and from
abroad the imports this week are only moderate. Of
Wheat, Oatmeal, and Beans, however, we continue to
have a good display of samples from granary, but, with
these exceptions, the stocks here are comparatively small.
Having a good attendance of town and country millers
at our market to-day, and the holders of Wheat submit-
ting to a decline of Id. to 2d: per 701bs. from the rates of
this day se'nnight, sales, chiefly of the general runs of
foreign, were effected to a fair amount at that abatement.
English and Irish Flour was in moderate request, and
Canadian in good demand, each nearly supporting our
last quotations.
Barley and Malt were saleable upon a moderate scale
at late prices. Beans, on the contrary, attracting less
notice than for some time past, were Is. to 2s. per qr.
cheaper; and Pease might have been purchased on rather
easier terms.

Oats, although taken off sparingly, maintained former
prices; whilst Oatmeal commanded a tolerably free sale
at a small decline from our last currency.

.
Beyoud a slight sprinkinut this morning, we have had
no appearance of rain since Tuesday last.

CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 5

. •
The duty on Foreign Rye has declined this week to gs 6d. on
Pease to 8s 6d, and on Beans to 6s 6d per quarter ; at the same
time falling a step upon the two format _arricles_from British
Colonies.

With the exception of a few parcels of Oats from Ireland and
Coastwise, we have scarcely anything to report fresh in of
Critish produce, and not a single arrival of Grain or Flour
from abroad.

Influenced by depressive accounts from most parts of the
country. arising from the late favourable change in the weather,
and the improvel appearance of the coming crops, the trade
here has ruled extremely quiet since Tuesday, rendering the
value of most articles little more than nominal.

About eight hours genial, but not heavy, rain in the course of
yesterday, combined with the absence of any leading country
buyers and au apparent determination on the part of our local
dealers to remain inactive, caused an excessively dull, lingering
sale this morning for Grain of all descriptions; seeing no utility,
however, in pressing business on lower terms, holders of Wheat
continued to require the mates of Tuesday, and it was therefore
in a few trifling occurrences alone that a small abatement was
conceed. English, Irish and Canadian Flour, as serving to
answer the immediate purposes of needy buyers, was in mode-
rate request at late prices.

Barley and Malt, although in limited demand, sustained their
previous value; whilst Beans and Pease, being much less
not eed than heretofore, were decidedly the turn cheaper.
Oats, participating in the langour existing so generally in
other Grain, merely retained former prices.—Oatmeal, no -
withstanding, continued to attract some inquiry for invest-
ment, and several parcels were taken on the terms last noted.
The bonded market being wholly neglected, no business in
that branch of the trade has transpired to-day.
