LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 23.
A considerable number of Grain and other vessels
have entered this port since Friday, which, with those up
previo,iiisly during the week, furnish an abundant supply
of Wheat, Barley, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal, Coastwise
and from Ireland; exclusive of 2700 qrs. of Wheat from
Egypt and Trieste, and 1150 barrels of Flour from St.
John's, New Brunswick.
Influenced by these large arrivals, the market this
morning, though tolerably well attended by town and
country buyers, was extremely dull for Wheat of all de-
scriptions ; and had sales been practicable beyond a li-
mited amount, an abatement of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. from
Friday's prices roust have been generally conceded ; the
transactions altogether were so trivial, however, and
holders disinclined to submit to any material reduction,
that we are barely justified in altering our quotations.
Flour, of all denominations, was equally difficult to sell,
and may be considered the turn cheaper.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, affected in like man-
ner by the increased supplies at band, were little noticed,
and slightly depressed in value.

CORN EXCHANGE, FEBRUARY 23.
The duty on Foreign Wheat has declined to 18s, on Oats to
is per qr., and on Flour to ids led per barrel ; that on all Colo-
nial produce remaining the same as last week.
Opposed by contrary winds, the large arrivals stated on Tues-
day last have been followed by a very scanty supply of Grain,
Coastwise and from Ireland ; whilst into this port and Runcorn,
partly by steamers, we have to note a fair accession of Flour and
Oatmeal; the receipt of Foreign produce, from that time to the
present date, consisting merely of 823 qrs. of Wheat from the
South of Europe ; with 25 qrs. of the latter, and 958 barrels of
Flour from the American States. _

During the same period the trade upon the whole has ruled
very inactive, but without any material difference in the general
range of prices.
Although scarcely any country buyers appeared at this day's
market, the trade for good Wheats generally assumed a tolerably
firm tone, and of Irish and Foreign our local millers purchased
to a tolerably fair amount, at the full currency specified in
our first Circular this week; English likewise, of which our
home growers brought some very fine samples forward to-day,
maintained our last quotations.—Flour, notwithstanding, met
little inquiry, and any description barely sustained late prices.
Barley, for either malting or grinding, in the absence of
buyers, was scarcely noticed; and this article as well as Malt,
hardly supported its former value.—Beans and Pease were
steady in value, but saleable upon a limited scale only.
Oats and Oatmeal, for which the demand to-day was in a
great degree suspended, may be considered the turn cheaper.
Of Wheat, whether in bond or floating, no sales have recently
transpired, the prices required at present being too high to meet
the views of buyers.
