LIVERPOOL CORN E
The aggregate arrivals of Engli
week are rather inconsiderable
quantity of Indian Corn from the
of Beans from Egypt, the suppl
unimportant.
We have had a tolerable attendance of buyers at this day's
market, and a somewhat improved demand for Wheat of most
descriptions, influencing an advance upon all qualities of new
of 2d., and upon the general runs of foreign of Id. to 2d. per
70Ib. upon the rates of this day week, but no amendment in
the finest qualities of foreign.
Flour 6d. per barrel, and Is. per sack dearer, with a good de-
mand for the latter kind.
In Barley and Malt little variation to note.
English Beans were rather cheaper, and Egyptian on the con-
trary a little dearer.
Peas 2s. to 3s. cheaper.
Oats have improved fully Id. per 451 b., and Oatmeal 6d. per
load, with a fair demand for each.
Indian Corn was also taken off more freely, at fully Is. ad-
vance; and Meal 6d.

CORN EXCHANGE, Aran, 28.
Exclusive of a few slight showers, we have had no rain here
since Monday last, and spring culture is again partially in
progress ; but the weather being still very cold, vegetation is
extremely backward, and although a late spring succeeded by
a fine summer is frequently the most certain for the crops,
some parties begin to augur unfavourably on the subject.
From Tuesday's market to the close of yesterday, no busi-
ness of sufficient magnitude occurred to after the position of
the trade here in anywise materially different from that stated
in our last circular : every article, however, was held with
unabated firmnesq, and influenced by the steadiness reported
in most other leading markets, our last quotations were gene-
rally maintained.
The arrivals of Grain into this place since Monday last have
continued to come forward very sparingly from Ireland, as
well as coastwise and from abroad, except Indian Corn and
Oatmeal, of which we have a further good supply. Hitherto
we have received little produce comparatively from the
and the prohibition to German vessels passing the sound will
probably limit our imports thence for some time to come:
America, however, will shortly be enabled to export largely to
England, provided our prices offer sufficient inducement:
meanwhile we may remark, that the stocks in granary here
are, on the whole, rather inconsiderable, and will require to
be extensively augmented before harvest.
At our Corn Exchange this morning, Wheats of prime qua-
lity realised a slight improvement in value, and all other de-
scriptions, including English, Irish, and foreign, sustained our
last quotations, with just a moderate but not a free demand.
Flour, meeting rath.x less attention than at an earlier period
of the week, merely supported late prices.
Malting Barley commanded former rates, and Grinding
samples, being less plentiful, were the turn dearer: for Malt,-
also, rather higher terms were required.—ln English or Euro.
pean Beans little business was apparent, but Egyptians still
attracting the attention of buyers, each maintained our last
currency.—Pease difficult of sale at the decline previously
noted.—Oats continuing in fair request, good well-prepared
Mealing parcels obtained Id. per 451 b. over Tuesday's advance.
Oatmeal, at the same time, meeting very little notice, was
rather depressed in value.
The buyers of Indian Corn having delayed their purchases
until this morning, caused an active inquiry, and a fair amount
of business resulted at the full prices of Tuesday, the fine qua-
lities
of Mediterranean having become exceedingly scarce.—
Corn Meal, upon a limited demand, was still held at 12s. to
12s. 6d. per barrel.

HULL CORN MARKET, APRIL 26.
We had a moderate supply of Wheat from the farmers,
which sold at fully last week's prices, and in some in-
stances, for choice quality, a trifle more money was made.
A good sale for foreign, at the above rates ; but holders
generally asked more money, and this quite checked busi-
ness. Barley, which has been in improved demand during
the whole of this week, obtains full prices to-day. Oats con-
tinue as dull as we have lately had to write them, but from
their low price may attract attention. Beans and Peas are
each exceedingly dull, though the former article is more in-
quired for. Linseed, if it were not for the unfortunate state of
the continent, would be dearer, but the cessation of export
orders for oil, combined with a limited demand for cake, has a
contrary effect; of foregn cake we have much choice,—quality
very good,—price very tempting. Rapeseed arrives more
freely, and meets a good demand, notwithstanding the con-
tinued import of rape oil. Rape cakes are offering very low,
in comparison with the prices of March and the value of other
manures. Bones, owing to the unexpected arrivals, are dull
.and lower.
