LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 9.

Up to the close of last week, the arrivals of Grain into
this port from any quarter were extremely light, and ex-
cept a fair quantity of Oats and Malt, Coastwise and from
Ireland, the receipts thence are still rather inconsidera-
ble; of Wheat from abroad, however, we have to notice
a tolerably good supply fresh in for to-day, and of Cana-
dian and States Flour 11,895 b•+rreels as specified below.
Although, at this day's market, few buyers appeared
from the country, there was a tolerable number of local
millers in attendance, and good English, Irish and Fo-
reign Wheats were dispose I of to a moderate extent, on
terms varying little from th-me at the end of the week,
being in some instances at, and in others rather under the
currency of Tuesday last. Approved brands of Canadian
Flour were in fair request at full prices, and superior
marks of Irish commanded rather higher rates, but infe-
rior parcels of each were difficult of sale.
• Barley and Malt were little noticed, and barely main-
tained our last quotations. Beans and Pease were more
unsaleable than usual, and each Is. per quarter cheaper.
Oats were also in very slow request, at a decline of Id.
per 451 b. ; whilst Oatmeal, though meeting some inquiry,
was taken off sparingly at late prices.
Exclusive of a few showers on Saturday evening, the
weather here, since the middle of last week, has been dry ;
notwithstanding which, the crops of grain around us con-
tinue to improve ; and Potato( s alone appear to suffer in
any serious degree, the rains hitherto not penetrating
sufficiently to insure an abundant yield.

CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 12.
The only alteration in the duties this week is a reduction on
65., on Rye to as. 6d. ; and on Colonial Rye
quantity of Malt, Oats, and Flour, with a
few small parcels of e have received very little produce
topne per Harley
a.
either Coastwise or fronnreland since Tuesday : the fresh im-
modc to

rate
im-
ports from abroad, however, include a further good supply of
Wheat from the North and South of Europe, the United states
and Canada, and from the two last named sources upwards of
20,000 barrels of Flour, with 1,900 qrs. of Barley from Egyp,.
From C-mada, considerable supplies are ultimately expected,
though the comparative scarcity of vessels and consequent high
rates of freight. Will necessarily confine the immediate ship-
ments within a less compass than was calculated upon.
As usual of late, during the interval between market days,
the Corn trade here has remained extremely inactive since
Tuesday,. but without any material variation in prices gene-
rally.
Having no leading country buyers at our Corn Exchange to-
day ; and our local dealers being influenced by the heavy sup-
plies of Whew- and Flour, and the prospect of an early ' arvest,
we have to report an extraordinary dull lingering trade this
morning for grain of all descriptions: holders of Wheat. not-
withstanding, appeared disinclined to press sales on much
lower terms, and for the few limited parcels disposed of. which
were taken by needy millers alone, a greater reduction ti an Id.
per 701 b. was not conceded.—Home-made and Irish Flour, on
the contrary, was somewhat more sal able; and prime marks
being scarce, such fully maintained our last quotations, whilst
States and Canadian, duty paid, were in slow request, and 6d
per barrel cheaper.

- Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, for which the demand ap-
peared to be nearly suspended to-day, must be considered the
turn cheaper; and Oats, although in limited supply, were taken
off very sparingly, on rather lower terms.—Oatmeal continued
to meet some inquiry, but the holders adhering nearly to our
last currency, very few sales were effected.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JULY 15.
Prices of Butter arc extremely difficult to quote, so great is
the anxiety of holders to make sales, and so diffident have con-
sumers become in making purchases. We think about 74s is
the mark for the best south country Butter. Supplies are as
abundant as ever. Pickled Butter 70s, and in limited demand.
Provisions are unaltered both in value and demand. Bacon is
a brisk sale, and commands as high a price as 42s for the best
Belfast middles.
