LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY.

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

Inclusive of a parcel of Wheat from Canada, the arrivals
within the past three days amount to upwards of 10,000 qrs.,
chiefly from Baltic ports ; we have also a good fresh supply
of Colonial Flour and several small lots of Oatmeal, but the
imports during the same period from all other quarters are
light.

The duty on Foreign Wheat has been increased this week
to lls. per qr., and on Flour to 6s. 71d. per barrel, the anti-
cipation of which and the certainty of a rapid advance in the
rates on this Grain, have communicated a degree of firmness
to the trade to which we have of late been accustomed ; a
return of almost constant rain has also furnished additional
stimulus, and several cargoes of Wheat, mostly Danzig and
red Baltic, have changed hands on speculation, at the full
rates on Tuesday last, and in some cases at rather more
money than was obtainable on that day ; the millers have,
however, been very inactive, and we have had no improve-
ment in the demand for any other article in the interval be-
tween our last market and to-day.

Further speculative purchases in Wheats to a pretty good
extent have been effected this morning, in addition to which
a fair quantity has been taken by buyers from a distance in
the interior, as well as some for Ireland ; and notwith-
standing our local miilers have remained mostly on the re-
serve, the transactions on the whole are considerable ;
holders are firm, but we cannot state any advance except
upon general middling and low descriptions, which are ld.
to 2d. per bushel dearer. Flour is more readily sold, but at
no quotable improvement in value.
The business doing in Oats and Oatmeal is at Tuesday's
rates, but the sales are quite in retail; no new Irish at
market.

For other articles of the trade we continue former quota-
tions, though little or nothing is passing in them.
The weather is still very wet.
