LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. JULY 25.

The supplies, which up to Friday's market were generally
light, have been subsequently increased, making, for the week
ending yesterday, several parcels of Wheat, Malt, and Flour
coastwise, but very little of anything from Ireland. From
Canada, during the same time, the imports consist of 629 qrs.
Wheat and 6588 barrels Flour; from the United States 11,825
qrs. Indian Corn and. 2824 barrels Corn Meal; front Europe
4615 qrs. Wheat, 560 qrs. Barley, with 7598 qrs. Beans thence
and Egypt.
By daily advices from various parts of this country and Ire-
land, complaints of the Potato blight continue to increase;
but as in some districts the disease is stated to have shewn
itself in a mitigated form, and in others to be less perceptible,
opinions on this subject, even of practical agriculturists, are
contradictory. We may observe, however, that these remarks
apply to the produce of the seed intended for early use,. the
main crop, planted later, appearing so far nearly, if not wholly,
untainted. Meanwhile the markets are plentifully supplied
with the article from the growers at extremely low prices.
There was a fair attendance of town and country millers at
our market to-day, and the rise in London yesterday giving an
impulse to the trade here, Wheat of all qualities was in fair re-
quest at xn advance of 4d. to 6d. per 701bs. over the rates of
Tuesday last.
Sack Flour was 25., and barrel Is. dearer.
In Barley, Malt, and Pease, no variation.
The general qualities of Beans maintain late prices; and
Egyptian realized an amendment of Is. per quarter.
Oats being scarce, improved fully 2d. per 451 b. from the
quotation of this day week, and Oatmeal 2s. per load.
The transactions in Indian Corn have again been considera-
ble to-day, realizing an advance on all kinds of 3s. per quarter
since this day week. The market has been nearly cleared of
Indian Meal, at an advance of Is. 6d. per barrel.

CORN EXCHANGE. Jut.v• 28.
Our Foreign imports since last Mondny are chiefly about 9000
quarters Indian Corn, the greater part from America, a cargo
of Egyptian Beans, and 4GYJ quarters Wheat from Hamburg ;
no fresh supplies are reported from Canada, and the receipts
Coastwise and from Ireland are trivial. The duty on Wheat is
this week reduced to Os. per quarter, and on Hour to Is. sd.
per barrel, with the prospect of shortly going still lower. On
Wednesday we had a continuous rain for several hours, and
having advices of an upward tendency from many other mar-
kets, the trade here was active for Wheat and Flour, at a
further improvement on Tuesday's currency, which Indian
Corn, upon a moderate demand, about supported. Yesterday
alarming reports were circulated of insurrectionary movements
in the South of Ireland, and though these were then not credited
in their extent, and are since found to be untrue, the effect for
the time was to paralyze business in all its branches, the holders
of Irish orders refraining almost entirely from purchasing, and
the speCulative disposition for Wheat and Flour, previously ap-
parent, was again quite suspended. The weather having been
fair yesterday, and to-day being exceedingly fine, with a settled
aspect, the demand for Wheat, at our Corn Exchange this
morning, was rather languid, and 2d. per 701 b. advance, which
was previously acquired, was not fully sustained ; the trade for
all descriptions of this Grain closing at little more than Id.
Over the annexed rates of Tuesday. English and Irish Flour
was in moderate request at an amendment of Is. per sack, and
barrel Flour of good quality fully maintained our last quota-
tions. Barley and Mad, even upon a limited scale, were held
steadily at late prices. English Beans, being scarce, were the
turn dearer, and Egyptians realised an improvement of Is. per
quarter. Pease, also, were held on somewhat higher Walls.
Oats advanced Id. per 451 b.. and Oatmeal supported its former
value. With a.good demand for Indian Corn, middling qnnli-
ties of white realised an advance of Is., and all other kinds the
currency of Tnesd iy. Corn Meal unvaried.
