LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 30,

We have to report for this day's market a good supply
of Flour from Ireland, but of other Grain produce either
thence or Coastwise, the receipts are still very insignifi-
cant ; whilst from the northern ports of Europe, we have
a fair import of Wheat, with a few parcels of Oats,
Beans, and Pease, as stated below.

Our accounts from many of the English counties begin
to speak much less cheeringly of the growing Wheat than
heretofore; but with a change of wind and a heavy fall of
rain here yesterday, the weather has now become warm,
and the farmers immediately around us having so far
little cause for complaint; the trade generally, at our
Corn Exchange to-day, has scarcely participated in the
rise stated in other markets recently.
The Wheat trade, consequently, assumed a very indif-
ferent aspect, and, except for Irish Wheat of middling
quality, which obtained a slieht amendment. all descrip-
tions of English, Irish, and Foreign duty-paid, were un-
altered in value.

Flour, neverthelPss, continued to meet a fair demand,
and realized 6d to Is advance.

Barley was dull of sale, at late prices ; but Malt, being
in more request, fine qualities were Is. to 2s. per quarter
dearer.

Beans and Pease were rather more saleable at late
prices ; and Indian Corn, in one instance, improved Is.
per quarter. _

Oats and Oatmeal met a dull sale, on the terms last
noted.

CORN EXCHANGE, MAT 90.
An advance on Foreign Barley to Ss. per qr. forms the only
alteration in the duties since our last report.
ith the winds so long prevailing in the east, and still re
maining unvaried, we have again to note very scanty supplies
generally of English and Irish produce; but in addition to the
quantity of Foreign Wheat previously stated, several more
Baltic vessels have arrived since Tuesday.
After the fine warm weather noticed in our last Circular, it
set in cold again at night, since which a good deal of rain has
fallen here; but to-day the atmosphere is mild and unclouded,
and the crops in this circle of the country continue to look
well upon the whole. therefore, the trade for all free Grain,
from the close of our first market this week until to-day, has
been rather quiet. though without remission in any respect
from the range of our last quota ions. For bonded Wheat,
however, further inquiries have been made, but, beyond one or
two cargoes of the pr sent imports sold at about 325. per qr., no
business therein has transpired.
Influenced by the favourable change in the weather, the de-
mand for any description of Wheat this morning was extremely
limited from consumers, the only transactions worth naming in
this branch of the trade being confined to about tone qrs. of
Irish reported on speculation, or for shipment Coastwise, at
our last currency; and in bonded parcels no further purchases
were apparent to-day. Flour, in like manner, was in very
feeble request, and scarcely maintained late prices.
Barley and Malt also met little inquiry on the terms last
noted. Beans, Pease, and Indian Corn, upon a slow gradual
sale, remained unaltered in value.

Oats, in the absence of country buyers, moved off very spa-
ringly at former prices; and Oatmeal. participating in the ge-
neral dulness of other articles, merely sustained our last quo-
tations.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, MAr3O.

The weather still continues cold, and all the reports from the
agricultural districts represent heat as having made little
progress in growth of late, and every probability of a protracted
harvest; on all light lands the plant is defective. and at present
promise very short of last year's produce. Our arrival this
week is small of all articles ; fresh Wheat is in fair request at
fully last week's prices. The demand for other sorts is limited.
Barley nominal. Oats and Shelling steady in price. Beans
without alteration. Malt Is. per load higher. Other articles
as before.,
