CORN EXCHANGE JUNE 28

Of English and Irish produce the receipts into this port
since Monday last are altogether trivial : from the American
States, however, we have to note 10,344 qrs. of Indian Corn,
with 4,414 brls. of Flour; and from Europe, including Egypt,
5,309 qrs. of Wheat, with 3,493 sacks of Flour, the latter wholly
from France. . . .

..... -
By the information received from various districts of the
kingdom since our report of Tuesday last, the English, Scotch,
and Irish markets appear to remain tolerably steady as regards
the value of the leading articles of the trade, with a moderate
but not urgent demand; the uninterrupted continuance of fine
weather forcing the crops rapidly onward, deterring buyers
from adventuring upon any large engagements for the mo-
ment; whilst similar remarks apply to the existing state of the
trade here during the same period.—The markets in the Baltic
and nearer ports of Europe are, on the contrary, represented
in general more buoyant, and in conseqn Aice of diminished
supplies, Wheat is in several places held with increasing firm-
ness, and prices tending upwards.
Upon a very slender attendance of home and country buyers
at our Corn Exchange to-day, and a decided disinclination on
the part of millers to purchase, we have to report an exces-
sively lingering sale for Wheat of all descriptions, the few trans-
actions which took place haring been perfectly insignifican•;
still, as holders generally. refused to accept lower terms, our
previous quotations remain nominally unvaried.—Flour was in
limited request at late prices; we may expect little or none
from America in the face of the existing unremunerative rates,
and though a moderate quantity of French Flour is on the way
to this country at present, the deficiency of water power,
caused by intensely hot weather, will materially limit the abi-
lity of the French millers again to supply us freely for some
time to come. . _

-------
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, in the absence of any thing
more than a slow retail demand, barely sustained our last cur-
rency.—Prime Oats, being scarce, were the turn dearer, but in
other kinds there was no Improvement; and Oatmeal, meeting
very little notice, hardly supported former prices.
A few more Irish buyers appearing again to-day, and im-
porters of Indian Corn submitting to a further decline of 6d.
to ls. per qr. from the reduced rates of Tuesday, transactions
therein were effected to a moderately fair amount.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET.

PRESTON CORN MARKET, :NNE 29.
Under the influence of fine forcing weather, the trade
throughout the week has remained excessively dull. The sup-
ply of English Wheat at our Corn-exchange to-day was insig-
nificant, and was readily cleared at a slight amendment in
value. Irish as well as Foreign dull of sale, and we nominally
repeat our last quotations. Prime Irish Red, ss. 7d. to 58.
10d. ; middling to good, ss. 2d. to 58. sd. per 70 lbs. Flour 6d.
dearer ; fine to superfine, 30s. 6d. to 328. per 280 lbs. Beans
and Oats continue without change—say 13s. to 138, W. Per
220 lbs. for the former, and 2s. 7d. to 28. tad. per 45 lbs. for tile
latter. Oatmeal in limited request, at unaltered rates ; choice
qualities, 235.
middling to good, 21s. to 228, Vti., per 210
