MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 27.
The prevalence of heavy raics during the greater part of the
present month, and the high gales of wind last week, have been
succeeded by fine weather within the last three days, and the
land, which in many situations was too wet for sowing, is now
coming into good order for that purpose. _

Arrivals, Coastwise and from Ireland. still come forward
sparingly, and those from abroad since this day week, comprise
only moderate supplies of Wheat, Indian Ck rn, and Flour from
the American States, with 668 qrs. of Beans from the Baltic.
Our market this morning was rather slenderly attended by
country millers, and the trade, as regards Wheat, appeared to
exhibit fewer lively symptoms than of late; for local consump-
tion, however, sates upon a moderate scale were effected, and
most descriptions of English, Irish, and Foreign, nearly, and in
some instances, fully maintained the current rates of this day
week.—lrish Flour being in slow request, was the turn cheaper,
and the demand for barrels having considerably abated, States
and Canadian, bah free and in bond, were decidedly easier to
purchase,

Barley, Malt, and Beans, stimulated by the advance in other
markets throughout the country, met increasing inquiries, each
obtaining an improvement of 2, to 3s per qr. upon the quotations
of Tuesday last.—Pease were also more saleable, but not dearer.
Oats, commanding more attention, acquired Id per 451 b over
previous rates : and Oatmeal, of which there is scarcely any left
unsold. must be noted is per lead higher.
Indian Corn, the stock here having been almost wholly
cleared, continues to be taken in small retail parcels alone at
late prices.

In any thing under bond or afloat, no business was apparent
to-day;

CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 30

The averages of all grain continue high, and there is no pro.
babillty, from their operation, of a change in any of the duties
from the love est point for a considerable time forward.
We are still very scantily supplied with all produce, Coastwise
and from Ireland, but the deficiency from those sources is in
some measure compensated by the Foreign arrivals of the past
three days, containing a fair quantity of Wheat and Flour, with
a few small parcels of Indian Corn, as inserted below.
Between Tuesday and to-day, the trade generally has ruled
dull; lower prices have not, however, been accepted for Wheat
and Flour, and all spring grain, from scarcity of supply, has
fully supported late prices ; speculative inquiries also have
materially subsided, sales only of a few parcels of Flour, in
bond, having been reported at nearly previous rates.
At this day's market, the millers, who are now tolerably well
in stock, appeared almost unanimously determined to remain
on the reserve; the Wheat trade altogether was consequently
languid in the extreme, acid had sales been feasible beyond a
very limited amount, many holders would have accepted easier
terms. Irish Flour, upon a short supply, was unaltered in
value; but States and Canadian, being more difficult of sale
than usual, all descriptions of this article, both free and in
bond, receded Is per barrel below oar last quotations.
Malting Barley and Malt would readily bring much higher
rates, but having little or none of prime quality remaining here.
no certain prices for the moment can be formed. Grinding
Barley, Beaus, end Pe Ise, attended by occasional ,ales, fully
sustained our last currency.
Oats and Oatmeal, meeting very little notice this morning,
were the turn cheaper.
Indian Corn would be taken freely for Ireland, there being
several orders thence, which, in the absence of supply, cannot
be executed for the present, although if practicable somewhat
higher prices might be obtained.
