LIVERPOOL CORN EXCii ANG E, MARCH 5.
We had no fresh arrivals of Grain worth naming up to
Friday's market, and either Coastwise or from Ireland
little is reported of subsequently, whilst Flour and Oat-
meal from the latter smiree, we have to note a fair sup-
ply • and from anroaci, chiefly from Odessa, 3740 qrs. of
Wheat, with 1532 qrs. Indian Corn and 3213 barrels of
Flour from the United States.
We have again to report a very slender attendance of
country millers, and our local buyers taking barely enough
to serve their immediate wants, free Wheat of every de-
scription, at this day's market, appeared to move sparingly
into consumption; all good qualities, notwithstanding
were held with unabated firmness at last week's rates, the
ordinary kinds alone being rather easier to purchase.
Flour continuing to meet a very dull sale, English and
Irish receded in value ls. per sack, and Foreign, duty
paid, being unsaleable, must be considered cheaper.
The Insisters holding out for lower prices, Barley was
depressed ls. per quarter. Malt, however, upon a moderate
demand, maintained our last quotations.
Beans and Pease, continuing to sell to retail consumers,
supported former prices.
Of Oats a few parcels only were disposed of, and a
slight abatement from our last currency was partially
conceded.—Oatmeal, for which the demand for invest-
ment has latterly subsided, continued to meet an ex-
tremely dull sale this morning, at the decline noted in the
foregoing report of Friday.
A few must inquires for Wheat in bond and float,
have been made since the close of the week, but no actual
sales reported ; whilst of States Flour under lock, abobt
800 barrels have changed hands at 24s 6d. per barrel.
