LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 20.

The arrivals into this port since the 10th instant contain
a fair quantity of Wheat and Oatmeal, with some parcels
of Flour from Ireland ; but of other articles thence, or of
any coastwise, the receipts are trivial. From Canada,
however, we have to report a moderate supply of Wheat
awl Barley, with a further large influx of Flour, which,
including that from the States, amount to upwards of
35,000 barrels. We have also to notica few lots of Fo-
reign Wheat and Barley, with a tolerable import of Pease
and Beans, the latter chiefly Eeyptian.
Having a good attendance of local buyers at our Corn
Exchange to-day, Irish new Wheats were in request, and
us much of the supply had previously gone into the hands
of millers direct, the bulk offering was comparatively
small ; in consequence of which the whole was cleared off,
mostly at an advance of 4d, whilst in a few instances very
fine qualities realised 6d per ifilb over the rates of this
day week ; and farmers' Wheat, of which there was a fair
show of samples, but not a lively scale, obtained a similar
amendment. Foreign free Wheats notwithstanding, were
in rather limited demand, and .merely, though more
renerally, supported the improved terms of Friday.
English and Irish Flour, being more saleable, was Is per
Erick dearer, but Canadian me: with little inquiry, except
very choice brands, which fully maintained late prices.
Grinding Barley and Malt were in slow request and the
turn cheaper; and Beans, as well as Pease, hardly sus-
tained our last quotations.
Old Oats, being still very scarce, advanced id per 4511),
and new remained steady in value. Oatmeal, upon a fair
demand, obtained higher prices, increasing our quota-
tions Is for old, and for superior marks of Irish new, 6d,
per 2401 b,

- During the last three or four days we had extremely
heavy rains, which, by our advices, appear to have pre-
vailed in the counties northward.

CORN EXCHANGE, SEPTRSIBKR 20

There in nO alteration announced this morning in any of the
duties, whether on Foreign or Colonial produce.
The imports of the last three days, taken collectively, are
rather limited of Grain, and those of Flour much less than our
average ,u,,ply of late.
Notwithstanding London and other leading markets this
we..-1, have not afforded any stimulous. the trade here since
Tuesday has preserved a steady aspe t with a moderate amount
of business in Whe:.t to our local and the neighbouring millers :
new Irish has continued in request at our last quotations. the
supply for the moment not quite equal to the demand; a cargo
of Stettin sold ex ship at 6s sd per 70 lbs, less than the present
ddty, and sales have also been practicable of the lower des-
criptions of Foreign at fully previous rates. Prime quality of
States Flour rather exceeded our late currency, but many
parcels of soar and state Canadian are still offering at very low
rates, which induces some inquiries.
Upon a very slender attendance of town and country millers
at this day's market, and much firmness on the part of buyers
than of late. the trade for all descriptions of British and Foreign
old Wheats was extremely dull at scarcely Tuesday's rates, and
although few samples of English or Irish new Wheat appeared,
sales, even to a retail amount, were difficult to effect at a de-
cline of 1d to 2d per 701 U,• the trade closing heavily at that
abateme,.t. Irish Four, being in lin iced supply, mairtained its
previ us value, and superior brands of States Flour were held
on rather higher terms, while the general runs of Canadian
were hardly saleable at former prices.
Bar;ey, of which the supply consists of grinding qualities
only, was little noticed to-day, and this grain as well as Pease
may be deemed the turn cheaper. Beans, upon a moderate de-
mand, frilly sustained late prices ; and Malt remained unvaried
Oats. being scarce and in some request, advanced id per
451 b ; and having several country dealers present, directing
their attention to Oatmeal, the transactions therein were rather
extensive at an improvement of 3d to 6d per 2401 b.
