LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 14.

The arrivals into this port from Ireland, since Tuesday
last, consist of a limited quantity of Grain and Oatmeal,
with a fair supply of Flour; but except a few parcels of
Wheat and several of Malt, the receipts coastwise are
small. As anticipated, however, in our circular of Fri-
day last, the imports of foreign Wheat have been consi-
derably increased since that date; and of other Grain and
Flour, from abroad, we have to note a tolerable accession
fresh in for to-day.
We had about an average number of buyers at our Corn
Exchange to-day, and from the healthy state of many
leading country markets last week, a more lively trade
was expected this morning; but the partial decline in
London yestet day serving to counteract the least improve-
ment here, even good fresh qualities of English, Irish, and
Foreign Wheat hardly sustained the rates of this day
se'nnight, and other descriptions, especially the damp
samples of the present arrivals of Foreign, receded ld.
per 701 b., at which a very moderate extent of business
only was transacted.
Flour of all denominations was less saleable than be-
fore, and scarcely maintained our last quotations.
Foreign Barley, of superior quality, was held on rather
higher terms, but the general runs of this grain met little
inquiry, and were unaltered in value.
Malt and Pease ruled nearly the same as last reported.
Beans, although in slow request, were Is. per qr. dearer.
Although by many of the reports we have received, rain
is stated to have fallen partially last week in various parts
of this country and Ireland, we have had very little here;
all the crops around us, therefore, especially spring corn
and grass, begin to exhibit a want of moisture, but do not
yet appear to be materially affected.

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 17.

Upon all produce, Colonial as well as Foreign, the duties still
remain unaltered.

In place of the usual supplies of Grain Coastwise and from
Ireland, which appear to have nearly ceased for the present, we
are beginning to receive considerable imports of Wheat from
abroad, upwards of 14,000 qrs. having arrived from the Baltic
since Monday, besides several cargoes n :t reported; exclusive,
however, of ll,Ola qrs. Egyptian Barley the quantity of other
Corn is light, and we have no Flour in from Foreign Countries,
less than 1600 sacks of that article from Ireland, and no Oat-
meal whatever fresh in for to-day.

The general bearings of the Corn trade here, from our last
market to the close of yesterday presented no features of a
lively character, but rather the reverse; and the accounts re-
ceived from other sources during that period, imparting no im-
pulse to our proceedings the transactions altogether were un-
important, and the currency of Tuesday little more than nominal.
An unusually slender attendance of buyers at our Coin-
Exchange to-day, and a decided determination on the part of
millers to remain inactive, rendered all descriptions of Wheat
extremely difficult to sell, and had offers been made, it is pro-
bable, in the face of the present large importations, somewhat
easier terms would have been generally conceded. Flour, indis-
criminately was equally dull, but the holders, being disinclined
to recede, prices remained stationary.

Barley, attended with a very limited inquiry, may be deemed
the turn cheaper; Malt, on the contrary, was in moderate re-
quest, and steadily maintained our last quotations.
Beans and Pease, although restricted to a slow retail aemand,
appeared to sustain the rates previously noted.
Oats, notwithstanding the very short supply at hand, were
little noticed and rather depressed in value. Oatmeal likewise,
in the absence of country dealers, scarcely supported former
prices.
We had a slight shower or two this morning, and the weather
is still rather cloudy, but does not indicate much appearance of
rain.
