LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 8.

Opposed by adverse winds, the supplies into this port
coastwise and from Ireland, for the week ending last
night, are collectively rather light, and the arrivals from
abroad in general only moderate.
This morning's market was tolerably well attended
by millers : sales of Wheit were made with more free-
dom, and to a fair extent, at an a,nendment of
Id. to 2d. for good and choice new, and 2d.
at 3d. per 70 lbs. for old samples, whether of home or
forei.4n growth. There was little or no enquiry for bon-
ded Wheat or Flour.

Sack and duty paid barrel Flour were in slow request,
and the turn cheaper. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease
unaltered in value.

Oats being scarce brought Id. per bushel advance, but
Oatmeal made no improvement, either in price or de-
mand.

For Indian Corn we had not so much enquiry as of 1 ate
but we do not vary our quotations.

CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL g.

The entries of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal into this port since
Monday, have been so extremely small as to be scarcely worth
naming; but the wind hav ng become favourable and the
weather again fine, some further supplies may he expected to
arrive, although not to any great extent, from Ireland, where
the present shipments are stated to be inconsiderable.
To-morrow being Good Friday, our second market this week
was held to-day, and comii.g so closely after the first, we had a
very slender attendance of either home or country millers, who,
having bought rather freely on Tuesday, were in general very
inact.ve this morning. All descriptions of Wheat, however,
were held with unabated firmness, fully maintaining our last
quotations, and in one or two cases a slight advance was ob-
tained.—lrish Flour, up-:n a limited demand, sustained its
previous value ; and about 3000 barrels of Canadian changed
hanns at late prices.

Althou 11 in Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, scarcely any
business was apparent, holders of each steadily adhered to the
full rates of Tuesday.—lndian Corn being in great request, nut
alone for Ireland, but also for English consumption, the best
kinds of this article, both free and in bbrid, acquired a further
improvement of Is per quarter to-day.
Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of country buyers, met a
slow limited sale, but the quantity remaining here, being now
comraratively light, each may be deemed the turn dearer.
The bonded market continues to be neglected.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, APRIL 9.
