LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 25.

CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 28.

The duty on Foreign Beans having receded for several weeks,
is now reduced to 7s 6d, that on Foreign Pease to gs fd, and on
Colonial Pease to Is per qr., the impost on all other produce
remaining as before.
The supplies re eived into this port since Tuesday last are
altogether u usually light, having scarce y anything worth
-Miming either Coastwise or from Ireland; and of Grain or
Fl ,ur from abroad we have not a single arrival to notice in our
import list to day. Of Wheat, Oatmeal, and Beans, however,
the stocks in granary are amply sufficient to meet the demand
I'M* consumption, but of other articles here, those remaining
over are comparatively small.
The beneficial rains mentioned in our previous advices were
succeeded by further heavy ,howers on Tuesday night, since
•whi n the weather has become more settled; meanwhile the
spring Corn and root crops in this direction having assumed,
with some exceptious on arid soils, a greatly improved appear-
ance, and that of Wheat in most instances exhibiting the pro-
mi of a fair, if not an abundant, yield ; the trade here, from
the close of our last market until to-day, has been wholly free
from excitement, and prices generally rather inclining dowu-
wards. _ _ _

Notwithstanding .the causes expressed in the foregoing re-
marks, no eager disposition was evinced this mo fling on the
part of holders to press sales of Wheat, although our local
buyers were extremely inactive, and the business transacted in
this Grain was mainly confined to a few parcels taken by three
or four millers from the interior, on terms, in some cases equal
to, and in others at a decline of, Id per 701 b. from our last cur-
rency. English and Irish Flour, upon a very limited demand,
hardy supported late prices, at which, however, Canadian coin.
manded rather more attention; and of States Flour in bond
800 barrels changed hands at 925 per barrel, the same price being
offered, but refu ed, for a larger quantity.
Barley, in which we observed little passing to-day, appeared
firmly to sustain its previous value; and Malt was rather dearer.
Beans and Pease, on the contrary, appeared to be much less
noticed than of Fite, and Barley retained our last quota ions.
Oats were likewise in slow reques , hut from the small quan-
tity at hand, former prices were maintained; and Oatmeal, in
the ab ence of country dealers, moved off very sparingly at the
rates last noted.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 28.
The demand has again been considerable, particularly from
the trade, who have taken freely of the cutreot qualities of
American and Surat, bot )of which have advanced per lb. ;
Brazil having been pressed upon the market has induced buyers
to operate t some extent, at a decline of id to per lb. during
the fortnight. 11,50) American have been taken on specula-
tion, and 1070 American and 451 Surat for export. There has
been forwarded into the country unsold during the month 4149
American and 200 Pernam.

COTTON MARKET, JULY I.
The damand for Cotton to-day has continued good, and 7030
bales have been sold at full market prices. There is better
choice in the market than we have seen for some time past, and
buyers do their business more satisfactorily to themselves in
consequence.
