LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 3

Of English, Irish, and Foreign 'Wheat together, the arri-
vals since our report of this day week furnish a liberal supply,
with several parcels of Malt coastwise, and a fair increase of
Oats, Oatmeal, and Flour from. Ireland, including 1000 brls.
of the latter from Marseilles.

The royal assent having at length been given to the new
corn bill, duties were receivable at our Custom-house yester-
day, agreeably to the annexed scale, which admits colonial
Wheat and Flour at the lowest rates, and such may now be
considered free for consumption : it is not likely, however,
that any large portion of those articles comprised in the stocks
of foreign in bond, will be released until the averages shall
have attained a more favourable point.
The following are the quantities of grain, Flour, and Oat-
meal computed to remain in Liverpool, on the 2d May,
1842 :

In Bond.—Wheat, 209,032 qrs. ; Barley, 11,271 qrs. ;
Oats, 13,584 qrs. ; Rye, 500 qrs. ; Beaus, 21,166 qrs. ;
Pease, 7,787 qrs. ; F10urG5,166 brls.
Free.—Wheat, 25,000 qrs. ; Barley, 5,000 qrs. ; Oats,
12,000 qrs.; Rye, 400 qrs.; Beans, 20,000 qrs.; Pease,
5,000 qrs. ; Flour, 5,000 brls. and 5,000 sacks ; Oatmeal,
80,000 loads. _ _

The effects of this measure having been, already, in a
great degree, anticipated, little impression seems now to be
produced upon the trade by its actual coming into operation ;
for the present we are unable to notice any decided increase
in demand, but may shortly calculate on some improvement
in this respect, with a more steady and regular trade than
has been, for some time past, experienced.
The transactions in Wheat at this day's market, which
were chiefly confined to retail purchases, were altogether to
a very moderate amount, and although in a few cases the'
finest descriptions rather exceeded the rates of this day se'n-
night, the various kinds of Mediterranean and other middling
Wheats were generally obtainable on somewhat lower terms.
English and Irish Flour was in limited request, at late
prices, while States and Canadian receded is per barrel.
In bond, the only transactions noted to-day were confined
to a few hundred quarters of States and Ancona Wheat, for
Ireland, the former at Is 7d, the latter at 7s per 701bs.
Malting and grinding Barley, upon a very dull sale, de-
clined is per qr. • and Malt hardly sustained its previous
value.—Beans and Pease remained unvaried.

The Oat trade, being languid, prices gave way ld per 45
lbs ; and Oatmeal, although held at last week's rates, was
very unsaleable to-day.
