LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 16.
The arrivals into this port from Ireland, for the week
"(lng last night, contain a limited quantity of Wheat,
with a fair supply of Oats and Flour, and a large accession
4.)f Oatmeal ; but of anything coastwise we have little fresh
p for to-day ; and beyond 8191 qrs. of Wheat. chiefly
from various 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 the country in this direction is greatly improved of late ;
which, added to the indifferent accounts repeated from
'Mark-lane, and some cargoes of foreign Wheat, on which
the 16s. duty is in the course of pa, went, decidedly coun-
tteract all extensive operations in any branch of the corn
rade here : we have accordingly to note this morning, a
Very dull,dimited sale for Wheat of all descriptions, and
!t decline of full Id. per 70Ib. from tne rates of Tuesday
last. English 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 in the same
cheaper state as before, were all nominally the turn
Oats,
few tr in like manner, received little attention, and the
51138. via_t sales effected were at a reduction of id. per
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, Akan. 19.
The duty is increased this week on Foreign Wheat to 1.7 s per
qr., on Flour to los slid per barrel : only a moderate quantity of
Wheat has, however, been released at 16s, viz. in London
about 12,0 o qrs. in the week ending on Wednesday, and in
Liverpool about 14,000 qrs. up to yesterday, besides a few thou-
sand barrels of Flour.

With the exception 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 fiem that date, nothing more than the usual retail de-
Mand has been exper.enced for Wheat in this market and the
immediate neighbourhood, with a tendency to more firmness on
the part of segue holders on account of the anticipated small
Portion of the bonded stock paying duty previous to the advance
in the rate us regards other articles, the trade has continued
very inan itnute.
Though this morning's market was very thinly attended by
Cations,ctual buvers, Wheats were in general held steadily at the quo-
