LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 13

Upon a change of wind, about twelve Foreign Grain
vessels have entered this part subsequent to Friday,
chiefly with Wheat and Barley from Rostock, Stettin,
and Wismar; but, exclusive of a further good supply of
Flour, the arrivals, Coastwise and from Ireland, since
this day week, are generally rather light.
Although, as stated in our last report, little animation
was observable in the principal consuming towns of this
district during the greater part of last week, a steadier
feeling prevailed at the close ; and in the leading articles
of the corn trade there, any further decline was sus-
pended.

-At our market to-day we had a tolerable attendance of
town and country buyers; in Wheat, however, the busi-
ness done was only moderate ; at the same time, there
was a firmer aspect, and the rates of this day week were
fully maintained.

Flour was rather more saleable, but not dearer.
Grinding Barley met some inquiry, and remained steady
in value ; and Beans and Pease, attended with occasional
sales, realised former prices.
Oats were in some demand at our last currency, and
Oatmeal was in fair request, on the full terms of this
day sen'night.
No bonded sales reported to-day.

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 16.
The import rate o❑ Foreign Pease is reduced this week to
6s 6d per quarter, leaving the duties in all other respects un-
varied.

We have received, within the last three days, a fair supply of
Oats from Ireland, but of other articles, either thence or Coast-
wise, the arrivals are rather inconsiderable ; four or five ad-
ditional cargoes of Wheat and Barley are, however, reported
from the Baltic, whence, shipments of the winter purchases
wilt continue to arrive for some time ; beyond which, but little
is expected to come forward, the free on board transactions of
the last two months having been of very limited extent.
The prevailing weather is harsh and ungenial, with northerly
winds and little rains, showing, for the present at least, a back.
ward season, though the crops are as yet reported healthy in
appearance : the trade, during the interval since Tuesday, has
been generally more firm in consequence, and with some in-
quiries for Wheat on speculation, the prices of that grain have
been rather more buoyant.

Although but few country millers appeared at this day's
market, the trade for Wheat of all descriptions continued to
exhibit an improving aspect; and upon a more scanty show of
samples than usual, most kinds of English, Irish, and old Fo-
reign, realised an advanc.! of Id to 2d per 701 b, at which a fair
amount of business was done; for the present imports of Fo-
reign Wheat, however, from their being exclusively withheld
with a view to higher terms, no free value is yet established.
Flour, being still relatively cheater than wheat, has at length
attracted more general attention, and several millers having
bought the former article in preference, sales to a fair amount
have been effected at a slight amendment on the rates last
noted.

Earley and Malt, appearing nearly without inquiry to-day,
hardly supported previous quotations. Beans and Pease also,
meeting very little notice, were the turn lower in value.
Oats, in the absence of country dealers, were in slow request
on rather easier terms; whilst Oatmeal, although taken off
sparingly, fully supported late prices.

BOSTON CORN MARKET, MAY 14.
We have a fair supply of Wheat to-day, and last week's prices
are paid for the best sorts. Very few Oats and Beans are
offering at full prices.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 16.
The arrival of grain is moderate this week. Fresh thrashed
Wheats meet a fair sale at fully the rates of this day se'nnights
but the demand for other sorts is very limited. Barley quite a
dear. Oats and Shelling steady. Beans do not vary in value
Other artic'es before.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 17.
Although the holidays, as usual with us at this season, inter-
fere considerably with the course of business, yet, during the
past week we have had an increased demand for fresh parcels
of English ar.d Irish Flour, and though no actual improvement
in value can be noted, still there is less disposition on the part
of holders to press sales, and the aspect of the trade is, upon
the whole, more promising than of late.
At Wakefield yesterday, with a moderate arrival, prices were
fully supported, and at Liverpool all descriptions of Wheat
realised an advance of fully Id. to 2d. per bushel, whilst other
articles maintained their previous value.
We have a moderate attendance at our Market this morning;
Wheat is held for an advance of Id. to 2d. per bushel, but we
do not hear of any transaction of moment. Fresh arrivals of
Flour meet a tolerable enquiry at our qu titions, but we cannot
succeed in establishing any advance. Oats and Oatmeal sell
slowly, at late prices. In Beans, Malt, and other articles, no
alteration.
