LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY .

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.)

The rate of duty has advanced upon Foreign Rye to Os Gd,
and upon Colonial to is per qr., which are the only al-
terations we have to notice for the ensuing week.
We have again a large arrival of Wheat, the import from
abroad within the past three days exceeding 19,000 qrs.,
chiefly from and through the Mediterranean ; the supply of
States and Canadian Flour is also to a liberal amount, and
the whole, as well as our present stock of bonded 'Wheat
and Flour, may now be considered virtually on the free mar-
ket, there being every prospect of an early advance of duty ;
the fresh supplies coastwise and from Ireland are generally,
as of late, very limited.
The trade between Tuesday last and to-day assumed rather
more firmness, and a few transactions took place in the
leading articles on nearly the terms last noted. Yesterday
there was an indication of unsettled weather, by which some
stimulus was excited ; more, however, in the minds of
holders than of buyers, there being upon the whole little
apparent relief from the state of apathy previously existing.
Several millers from distant parts of the country, at this
day's market, seemed to impart rather more stability to the
trade for Wheat, in which a fair extent of business was
transacted, and there appeared a somewhat less eager desire
to force sales than in the early part of the week ; most hold-
ers notwithstanding, evinced a ready disposition to meet the
demand, and while some parcels of good quality realized our
last quotations, a decline of Id. to 2d. per 701bs was more
generally conceded.
Upon a moderate sale for States and Canadian Flour, each
may be considered rather cheaper; home made and Irish
remaining nominally unvaried.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, being nearly without in-
quiry, were severally, in some degree, depressed in value.
A few parcels of fine heavy Dutch Oats, just arrived, ap-
peared to meet a rather free sale to-day at 3s ld to 3s 3d per
45 lbs. ; but in other kinds, scarcely any business was done
and Oatmeal, being very little noticed, hardly maintained
our last currency.

ARRIVALS OF CORN,
From the 2nd to the ath August, 1842, inclusive.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. AuGusT_2.

In addition to the very large import of foreign Wheat,
stated in our circular of this day week, we have to note a
further good supply since, principally from the North and
South of Europe, with upwards of 3,000 qrs. of Pease from
Canada, and 14,731 barls. of Flour thence and the United
States ; but of other articles from abroad, or coastwise and
from Ireland, the arrivals are still inconsiderable.
The continuance of brilliant weather, the near approach of
harvest, already partially commenced in early districts, and
the decline in London yesterday, had given a decided check
to all extensive operations here, both free and in bond, and
have caused the holders of all free Wheat this morning, to
submit to an abatement of Gd. to 9d. per 70 lbs. from the
rates of Thursday last ; in consequence of which, country
millers were induced to purchase to a moderately fair extent,
whilst our local buyers remained extrem-ly inactive.
Flour, baying moved off slowly to-day, receded in value
2s. per sack and Is. 6d. per barrel below the terms of last
week.

Barley, Beans, and Pease were difficult of sale, at a reduc-
tion of 2s. each ; and Malt was Is. per qr. cheaper.
Oats upon a very limited inquiry, were nominally Id. to 2d.
per 451bs. cheaper; and Oatmeal, meeting little notice, de-
clined Is. 6d., reducing our quotations for the best marks of
Irish to 255. per 240 lbs.

meal computed to remain in Liverpool on the 31st July,
