MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 27

LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKET.
_AnTL26

Sugar—The market continues steady, with a fair demand for
all descriptions. The sales comprise 900 hhds. 8.P., 500 bags
Bengal, 2,000 mats Mauritius, from 365. to 38s. for middling to
good yellow, and 3,010 bags Madras, from 30s. 6d. to 358. for
middling brown to low yellow. Foreign-60 hhds. 40 brls.
Porto Rico and Cuba have been sold at from 335. 9d. to 4ls.
per cwt. duty paid, and 3,500 bags brown and yellow Pernam-
buco at 16s. 6d. per cwt.in bond from the quay. A cargo of
brown Pernambuco, in bags, has been taken for the Mediter-
ranean. Molasses—The sales of the week are 650 puns., with
out change in price, including a cargo of clayed Cuba at 14s.

The slight symptoms of improvement which were observable
last Saturday have been confirmed during the present week ;
more inclination has been shown to purchase Flour, and a fair
business has been done at full prices; many holders with-
drawing their samples or demanding an advance. Our ware-
housed stock is diminishing, and the prices which have been
obtainable for Flour in this market do not seem likely to attract
much farther supply, particularly as the disposition of the
farmers to hold their remaining stock of Wheat seems to
increase. Liverpool and Wakefield yesterday both showed
tendency to improvement, with considerable business doing.

•
100 puns.-Trinidad to arrive, at 14s, 3d.. and 170 puns., being
an old import, of clayed Cuba, for which I2s. was accepted,
the quality being very inferior. Coffee—The business is quite
unimportant, being limited to 100 bags native Ceylon at 455.,
and a few bags Rio at 48s. per cwt. A small lot of East India
Ginger brought 19s. ; but in Pepper or Pimento there are no
sales to quote. Rice-4,000 bags Bengal obtained full prices,
from 7s. 9d. for broken, to 9s. 9d. for good middling white,
and 300 tees. Carolina, from 18s. to 19s. Od. per cwt. for good
to very fine. Rum—The business is limited to 100 puns. of all
kinds

This has its effect at our market to.day, and a steady business
is done in Wheat and Flour, each rather exceeding the rates of
this day week. Oats and Oatmeal f

more inquired for. The trade generally exhibits more firmness
than has been observable for some time past, and the demand
not only for Indian Corn, but for Wheat, for Ireland,

The trade have again purchased freely this week for-all
descriptions, but the market has been so well supplied with
Americsn, that any advance is very partial. A large business
has again been done in Brazil, at prices rather in the sellers'
favour. Egyptian has commanded more attention. Surat has
also been in much better demand, at extreme rates. Specu-

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. APRIL 23

The arrivals into this port, during the week ending yester-
day, contain a rather better supply of Grain, Flour, and Oat-
meal, coastwise and from Ireland, than of late. Of Indian
Corn in the couree of the week, the import, from the United
States with a little from Trieste, amounts to 27,504 qrs., against
18,346 qrs. shipped to Ireland, a proof of the increasing con-
sumption of that article there. In addition to these we have
to no: e a further large accession of Wheat, from the Baltic, the

near ports of the Continent, Trieste and Alexandria, with a few
parcels of Barley, Beans and Pease, but not much Flour from
abroad.

At our market this morning Wheat of all descriptions met

a very languid sale, prices much ►he same as on Friday, which
were very nearly equal to those of this day week.
Flour, however, was in moderate request, and maintained
late prices.
Barley dull, and a shade lower. Malt unvaried. English
and the general runs of Foreign Beans were little noticed, and
the turn cheaper. In Egyptian, however, the temptation of low
prices, induced buyers to take that kind off to a good extent.

In Pease no cbange

In Oats little business was apparent, and no material change
in prices. Oatmeal in slow request, but held at 3d. advance
upon our last quotations.
Indian Corn continued to move off freely, and yellow realised
an amendment of 6d. per qr.

CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 26.
After several days of :fine weather, we had a copious fall of
rain yesterday, which continues to impart a very healthy ap-
pearence to all the crops around us.
Although by the reports from many of the English and
Scotch markets this week, rather more stability is generally
apparent in the trade, there does not yet seem to be sufficient
excitement to create ,any expansive demand; so that except in
a few solitary cases prices remain in nearly the same position
as last week. At the same time, most of the Irish markets are
stated to be very scantily supplied from the growers, and in
others the deliveries are said to have •wholly ceased. Prices of
most kinds of native Grain, notwithstanding, appear to remain
stationary, and business is represented as altogether languid,
with the exception of Indian Corn, which moves steadily and
freely into consumption.
Owing partly to adverse winds, the arrivals of Grain, Flour,
and Oatmeal into this port coastwise and from Ireland, as well
as from abroad, are so extremely insignificant since Monday
last as to be scarcely worth naming.
At our market to day. the Wheat trade appeared to assume
a more lively aspect than of late, and in the course of the
,morning a fair amount of business was transacted, partly on
speculation, and chiefly in the secondary runs of foreign, which
realised an advance of Id., and Egyptian fully 2d. per 701 b.
upon the current rates of uesday, the latter having been un-
duly depressed previously ; in prime descriptions of either
English or Foreign Wheats, however, the operations were
limited and prices unimproved. American Flour continued to
meet inquiry, and good brands would have obtained somewhat
higher term., but the small stock of such remaining here, being
mostly withdrawn from the market, precluded any sales of
moment. Trench Flour was saleable at an amendment of 6d.
per sack ; but in Irish no business was apparent. Barley was
dull of sale and rather cheaper. In the value of Malt, Beans,
and Pease, we have no change to note, each having been taken
sparingly to-day. Oats, in the absence of any fresh supply,
were in moderate request, and being a shade dearer, Oat.
meal remained•steady at late prices, Without any arrivals of
Indian Corn direct from abroad since Monday last, and the
export to Ireland, intermediately, amounting to 12,248 qrs.,
further considerable sales were effected to-day, at an advance
of 6d. to 9d. per 480 lbs. over the annexed quotations.

DUBLIN CORN MARKET. APRIL 26.
We had a dull market to-day for everything, except prime
samples of farmer's wheat, which brought fully the prices of
Tuesday. We do not alter our general quotations. Indian
corn mes rather a freer sale, but a small reduction in price was
submitted to.
