LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 21.

The arrivals of Grain and Oatmeal into this port,
Coastwise and from Ireland, continuing to falloff weekly,
are extremely light, and those of Flour thence, prove but
moderate for to-day ; of Foreign Wheats, however,
chiefly from the Baltic, the large importations up to Fri-
day's market have been abundantly increased, amounting
since the 14th instant to nearly 32,000 qrs., with 4400
qrs. of Barley, and from the United States 2000 barrels of
Flour.
The long protracted drought, and cold north-east winds
of late, began in bleak situations around us, to produce
an unfavourable effect upon the appearance of the crops
of spring Corn and Grass, whilst of the growing Wheats,
we hear no serious complaints ; such portion of the early
planted Potatoes, however, as are already visible above
ground, were in partial instances, from the severe frost
during Friday night, considerably injured. Our advices
also from many parts of this country and Ireland concur
pretty accurately with these remarks; but having had
some rain here last night and this morning, with a milder
atmo,phere, our market to-day was by no means lively
for any article of the trade.
Sevdral buyers attending from distant parts of the coun-
try, purchased good English and Foreign Wheat upon a
moderate scale, at a decline of ld. per 701bs. ; but Irish,
being scarce, was held on the terms of this day week ;
our local millers, at the same time, remaining extremely
inactive. Flour, continuing to move off sparingly, hardly
maintained former prices.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, ruled in all respects
nearly the same as stated in the foregoing report.
Oats, still commanding little attention, receded ld. per
451 b. from the rates of this day se'nnight ; Oatmeal, not-
withstanding, fully supported our last quotations, the best
marks of Irish realizing in some instances 225. per 2401 b.

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 24

Except on Colonial Rye, raised to 2s. per qr., there is no
change in any of the duties this week.
The very large supply of Wheat up to Tuesday's market has
been further increased by subsequent arrivals from the Baltic,
Mediterranean, and Black Sea. beyond which, and 500 qrs.
Barley, we have no Foreign imports to notice, while those Coast-
wise and from Ireland continue to be extremely light.
I.l=vinir no SVInntOMS of rain. and the weather being now much
warmer than heretotore, the pastures are so
and the Haygrass and spring Corn upon all dry soils in this
circle of the c untry. are evidently suffering from the drought,
a continuance of which can hardly fail to create some advance
in prices ere long : between Tuesday last and to-day, however,
no revival in the demand, nor improvement in the value of any
article of the Corn trade appeared to occur, except in Beans, 4 0
qrs. of Egyptian, in bond, having changed hands at 215. per
4801bs.

In the absence of country millers at this day's market, and
our local dealers remaining almo t wholly on the reserve, the
trade of all descriptions of English, Irish and Foreign free
Wheats we: e excessively dull; 'seeing:no inducement, however,
to press business on lower terms, importers continued to re-
quire the current rates of Tuesday, which in the few limited
sales effected were scarcely sustained. English and Irish Flour,
as well as duty paid States and Canadian, was equally difficult
to move at late prices.

Barley and Pease, upon a limited sale, remained unaltered;
and Malt being in steady demand, retained its former value.
British and European Beans were in tolerable request at an ad-
vance of 6d, and Egyptian free 2s per quarter dearer.
Oats, no,wi hstanding the want of rain, were not so readily
disposed of as the occasion appeared to justify, and mtrely sup-
ported our last quotations; whilst Oatmeal in consequence,
commanded somewhat more attention, at an improvement of
fully 3d p-r 2401 b.
Of States Flour in bond, 1500 bards have been sold at 21s
6d; but of Wheat, either under lock or afloat, no transactions
are reported to day.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 23.
We have bad another week of dry, parching weather, nor is
there at present any appe trance of a change.
The trade since our last has been flat. and nothing has been
done in ally article beyond what has been necessary for the
present supply,.

Wheat and Flour have rather receded in nrice, but all other
articles have maintained their value ; and the same was the
the case at Liverpool and Wa ye,terday.
At our market this morning. though Wheat is not o'Cred
pressingly, the few purchases made are at a reduction of Id to
2d per bushel upon the r.,tes o our last. Choice qualifies of
fresh Flour support their late value, but fair secondary. and all
inf -rior and warehoused samples, are is per sack lower, with
but a slow sale for all sorts.

Oats in moderate request, at la't week's prices. There is
rather more inclination to purchase Oatmeal, the demand, how-
ever, is confined to the best qualities. upon which an advance
of 3d to 6:1 per load is partially obtained Ileatis scarce. an
fully Is per, quarter dearer. Fine Malt firm, at late prices;
secondary qualit es are difficult of sale.
