LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. MAY 21.
The arrivals into this port, ,during the week ending last
night, consist of a few small parcels of Grain, coastwise and
from Ireland, with a mode: ate quantity of Flour and Oatmeal
from the latter source.—From America we have merely to
report 2,602 qrs. of Indian Corn, against 22,269 qrs. shipped in
the course of the week to Ireland; the imports from the north
and south of Europe, including Egypt, comprise a tolerable
supply of Wheat, Beans, and Pease, with 935 sacks of flour
from France.
The decline in London yesterday, and the present exceedingly
fine weather, have caused a very slack trade for Wheat of all de-
scriptions at this day's market, and a decline of 2d. per'.7olb.
fi'om the rates of this day week.
'flour was also in slow request, at a reduction of 6d. to Is.
tier. satic.
• Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, in limited demand, and
Father easier to purchase.
Oats being extremely scarce, were the turn dearer; and "Oat-
ifieal was held at 6d. above the quotations of this day week.
Indian Corn, although notquite so lively as yesterday, was
in `fair =demand, at ls. per or. over the rates of this day

'CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 24.
A continuance of splendid weather for the season appears
,now to be forcing -the crops rapidly onward, and being ge-
neral, the value of Wheat in mostof the English markets this
week is reported Is. 'to 2s. per quarter cheaper, whilst that of
Spring Corn seems to be comparatively little varied. The
trade in Ireland is stated to remain -rather buoyant, and the
supplies of both native And Foreign produce very unimpor-
tant. Meanwhile. the continental markets, hitherto kept up
by speculative investments, are represented, with few.excep-
tions, to remain firm, and prices are relatively higher than
ours. Circumstances may possibly, however, bring them to a
c'oser approximation, and the surplus eventually finds its way
to this country, since the American States do not appear likely
to afford us any efficient supplies of Grain or Flour on this
side harvest. 'The receipts from this port, coastwise and from
Ireland, sinca Monday last, are still very small ; and beyond
about 7,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat, the arrivals from
abroad are only moderate. In nearly all its bearings, between.
Tuesday last and to-day, the trade here was exceedingly inani-
mate, Indian Corn being the only article which appeared to at-
tract even a moderate share of attention, and at our market
this morning-a decided feeling of indifference almost generally
prevailed. In the absence of country demand, and our local
millers extremely forbearing, all descriptions of Wheat were
excessively (lull of sale, and indiscriminately depressed in
value Id. to 2d. per 70 lbs. from our last quotations.. Flour,
likewise, being taken with greater reluctance than usual by
consumers alone, American receded 6d. per barrel ; Irish, as
well as French, being offered with little effect at a proportionate
abatement. 'liatleys".-Ilearis, and Pease, commanding less at-
tention than previously; were severally purchased on rather
easier terms ; and Malt barely maintained late prices. Good
mealing.Oats;of which scarcely any remain here, advanced id.
per 45 ; Oatmeal; ;upon a fair demand, fully supporting
former rates. Indian Corn, continuing in request and likely to
be required extensively for Ireland realised our last quotations
to-dayi and in some cases rather higher terms were obtained.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET.--YESTERDAY.
We have to report a great falling off in the number of Beasts
at market to-day, which met with a very limited demand at a
small advance, the extreme figurejor the choicest Scots being
50. We had a fair stipply,of Sheep and Lambs, which met
with ready sale at former prices. No. at market:—Beasts,
