LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET.—Trus DAY.

We have had an extremely dull Share Market this morning,
With prices all further depressed. The decline was rapid to-
wards the close of business, the telegraph bringing Consolsi,
per cent. lower than the closing price of last night. The quo-
tations of business done were :

East Lancashire Preference, pm. ; Leeds Preference, pm.
London Stock, 125; Quarter Shares, 1 pm. ; Midland Stock
1 C 3 ; If Shares, 6 51 6 dis. ; Newcastle and Carlisle, les
North Union A, 206; Shrewsbury Preference, 13; Dover No. 1
8i dis. ; No. 4, 2{ dis. ; • Royal Assurance, U pm.

The supplies, which up to Friday's market were generally
light, have been subsequently increased, making, for the week
ending yesterday, several parcels of Wheat, Malt, and Flour
coastwise, but very little of anything from Ireland. From
Canada, during the same time, the imports consist of 629 qrs.
Wheat and 6588 barrels Flour; from the United States 11,825
qrs. Indian Corn and 2824 barrels Corn Meal; from Europe
4615 qrs. Wheat, 550 qrs. Barley, with 7598 qrs. Beans thence
and Egypt.
By daily advices from various parts of this country and Ire-
land, complaints of the Potato blight continue to increase;
but as in some districts the disease is stated to have shewn
itself in a mitigated form, and in others to be less perceptible,
opinions on this subject, even of practical agriculturists, are
contradictory. We may observe, however, that these remarks
apply to the produce of the seed intended for early use ; the
main crop, planted later, appearing so far nearly, if not wholly,
untainted. Meanwhile the markets are plentifully supplied
with the article from the growers at extremely low prices.
There was a fair attendance of town and country millers at
our market to-day, and the rise in London yesterday giving an
impulse to the trade here, Wheat of all qualities was in fair re-
quest at an advance of 4d. to 6d. per 701bs. over the rates of
Tuesday last.

Sack -Flour was 25., and barrel Is. dearer.
In Barley, Malt, and Pease, no variation.
The general qualities of Beans maintain late prices; and
Egyptian realized an amendment of Is. per quarter.
Oats being scarce, improved fully 2d. per 451 b. from the
quotation of this day week, and Oatmeal 2s. per load.
The transactions in Indian Corn have again been considera-
ble to-day, realizing au advance on all kinds of 3s. per quarter
since this day week. The market has been nearly cleared of
Indian Meal, at an advance of Is. 6d. per barrel.
