LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 16.
e- The arrivals into this port from Ireland, for the week
ding last night, contain a limited quantity of Wheat,
With a fair supply of Oats and Flour, and a large accession
of Oatmeal ; but of anything coastwise we have little fresh
"I,YI from

vari ou -ds
toay ; and beyond 8191 qrs. of Wheat, chiefly
I°l ports in the Mediterranean, with 3340 qrs.
' Egyptian Beans, and 3050 barrels of States Flour we
have no imports from abroad. ,
With frequent showers and mild genial weather, the face
of
whithh e country in this direction is greatly improved of late ;
c, added to the indifferent accouts repeated from
Mat
"lane, and some cargoes of foreignn Wheat, on which
the 16s. duty is in the course of pa ment, decidedly eoun-
teract all extensive operations in any branch of the corn
trade here : we have accordingly to note this morning, a
very
deems, limited sale for Wheat of all descriptions, and
of full Id. per 701 b. from tne rates of Tuesday
last. }.l
—ng'"h and Irish Flour being also in very slow
request, an abatement of is. per sack was conceded ; and
foreign, though mostly held at late prices, was rather de-
pressed in value.
:Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, remaining
, were all nominally in the same
languid state as beforenally the turn
cheaper.
Oats, in like manner, received little attention, and the
rew trivial sales effected were at a reduction of id. pct.
51bs. from the rates of this day week.
Oatmeal continued to meet some inquiry, but 'the
holders refusing to give way more than 3d. per load, the transactions were unimportant.

CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 19,

The duty is increased this week on Foreign Wheat to ';s per
qr., on Flour to 10s 21c1 per barrel : only a moderate ctqant ity of
Wheat has, however, been released at 16s, viz. in London
about 12,0 0 qrs. in the week mr:ing on Wednesday, and in
Liverpool about 14,000 qrs. up to yesterday, besides a few thou-
sand barrels of Flour.

Withiheexcelition of 507 g qrs. of Wheat. exclusively from
Mediterranean ports, our fresh arr vals of all Grain are extremely
light; from Ireland a fair quanti y of Flour again appears, but
scarcely any Oatmeal has come forward since Tuesday : in the
interval tom that date, nothing more than the usual retail de-
'nand has been expel' enced for Wheat in this market and the
immediate neighbourhood, with a tendency to more firmness on
aa.l'art of 'some holders on account of the anticipated small
