LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAncrt 12.
The arrivals
ointo
Oatme this ptillacand Floure since the sfrom Ireland, th instant contbut
ain
a good supply f
very little Grain of any kind thence: from the English
coast, however, the receipts of Wheat, Barley, Malt, and
Flour, are to a moderately fair extent, with some parcels
of Oats from Scotland ; the imports of Foreign produce
comprising 440 qrs. of Oats and 500 qrs. of Beans only.
Our market this morning was tolerably well attended,
but without any apparent cause, an almost total want of
spirit on the part of buyers was so decidedly manifest in
every branch of the trade, that, even upon the most li-
mited scale, the sale of any article was nearly impractica-
ble ; and we have to note a decline, more or less, from the
general currency of this day se'nnight.
All descriptions of Wheat were offered with little effect
at an abatement of 2d. per 70Ib. ; and Flour at a reduc-
tion of Is. per sack. Barley was also nominally depressed
in value ; and Malt, Beans, and Pease, scarcely main-
tained late prices.
Of Oats, the few trifling sales made to-day, were on
rather lower terms ; and Oatmeal, in the absence of de-
mand for investment, and nearly so for consumption, was
fully 6d. per load cheaper than on this day week.
With the exception of 700 to 800 qrs. of Egyptian
Beans sold at 18s. per quarter, no transactions in bond or
afloat, have been reported to•day.
Throughout the last month and up to the present date,
the weather in this district of the country has displayed
all the realities of winter; frost, snow, wind, and rain,
having occurred in frequent succession, with a fine day or
two, suspend vegetation: the Wheat plant, therefore,
which from the mildness of the season during autumn,
had on some lands become too forward at that early
period, has received a check, favourable, in all proba-
bility, to its future advancement.

CORN EXCHANGE. MARCH 15

The several duties on Grain and Flour of all descriptions re-
main without alteration ' • that on Foreign Wheat will probably
continue at the rest of lSs. for several weeks, when a gradual
further reduction is calculated upon.
Notwithstanding the prevalence of tempestuous weather, the
arrivals of Wheat and Malt since Tuesday. are to a fair extent
Coastwise, and we have a few parcels of Wheat, with an aver-
age supply of Oatmeal and Flour from Ireland : several cargoes
of Wheat are also entered from the Mediterranean, as well as
3970 barrels Flour from the United States.
The dulness existing in every department of the Corn trade at
our last market, remained unrelieved by any features of an im-
proved character up to the close of yesterday; in the general
range of prices, however, no variation was apparent.
Having no extensive purchasers of any article at this day's
market, and the same unaccountable indifference, as described
on Tuesday, continuing to prevail generally, we have again to
report an extremely difficult sale of all kinds of Wheat, and a
further decline of at least id. per 701 b. indiscriminately.—Flour
likewise remained in a similar languid state as before, and was
nominally somewhat depressed in value.
The rnaltsters, to all appearance, still wholly on the reserve,
the late arrivals of Barley have been mostly landed in granary,
and except a few limited parcels taken for seed, no sales are
reported ; the price of this Grain, as well as of Malt, is conse-
quently rather lower.—Beans and Pease, although in slow re-
quest, maintain our last quotations.
Oats, having moved off very sparingly, hardly supported their
previous value; and Oatmeal, in which the transactions today
have been extremely unimportant, has again declined 3d. per
load, the best Irish manufacture scarcely exceeding 225. per
2401 b.

The 1364 barrels of Baltimore Flour under lock, which were
offered by auction on Tuesday, and withdrawn at 225., were
disposed of subsequently at 215.9 d. per barrel for export; but
. .

in Wheat, either in bond or to arrive, little has transpired, only
two or three contracts of minor extent having been made on
rather easier terms.

PRICES OF GRAIN.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 11.
The demand for Cotton to-day is again very moderate,
and the sales do not exceed 2,000 bales, at yesterday's
prices, with a quiet and tame feeling. Holders do not,
however, press their stocks on the market.

COTTON MARKET.—March 18.
We have had a dull heavy market to-day ; the sales do not
exceed 2500 bales, generally at a decline of 4dap, lb in the mid-
dle, and id 934, lb in the better qualities of American, on the
prices paid last Wednesday.
