LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.-THIS DAY.

With the return of favourable weather, we have less
,etivitv in the grain trade since Friday last ; our prices
-I°r Wheat, however, particularly that of fine quality,
Which is in very few hands, have been well supported, but
those of Flour have slightly given way ; our markets for
several weeks to come must necessarily be influenced by
the character of the season for gathering in the harvest,
1,11,e general prospects of which are still reported favoura-
"lY of, though the estimate of its probable productiveness
is not so sanguine as that entertained some weeks ago ; in
the meantime it is well ascertained that farmers' stocks
/(re brought very low, those in millers' and dealers'
hands small, and except in London, where there is a con-
siderable quantity of wheat in granary, chiefly of low
descriptions, the outports of the country are but lightly
furnished. Future arrivals from the Black Sea will, no
goubt, continue for some months, at least, very circum-
kribed, and judgin from the reduced stocks left in
America, and g their present comparatively high range of
early shipments fro-n thenca, of any magnitiade,
are not to be calculated upon ; still the caution exercised
," so long a time by buyers seems likely, under the
tkvourable progression of harvest, to prevail, and to cheek
411 Y tendency to more than momentary improvement.
Oar imports for the week are generally light, having
little addition to the arrivals reported up to Friday. Of
illdian Corn the exports of the week are to a good extent,
of Flour tolerably fair, but of Wheat very small.
,_At the market to-day there was a good consumptive
"'and' Wheat and Flour. Fine qualities of Wheat
uwere saleable at even a trifle over Friday's rates, but
Otir was rather cheaper than it was on that day.
nris were 2s. per quarter cheaper. Oats and Oatmeal
'tionary in value and demand. Indian Corn aboxt ls.
'.quarter higher on the week, and several Irish buyers
A ere operating.
