LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, APRIL 18

There has been a continued good demand for Butter since our
last,—all descriptions participating .—and upon privately inspected
parcels of late importation, and tolerable freshness, an advance of
about 3s per cwt. is obtainable. We may, however, mention that
the better kinds have for some time back been quoted, and dis-
posed of, at unnecessary low rates. Prime Beef and Pork, sup-
port our last quotations. Middling articles are plentifuland cheap.
Bacon of prime quality 50s. Sympathetic Lard, (Yankee and Irish
incorporated) 43s to 50s per cwt. in firkins.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 15.
The duties for the ensuing week are advanced to 24s 3d on
foreign Beans, to 22s 9d on Pease, and reduced to 18s 3d per
quarter on Rye, remaining unvaried upon all other produce ;
these periodical changes we continue to notice, although in-
dependent of the prospect of an early alteration to a reduced
scale, the high rates of duty attained for some time past
have rendered them almost entirely inoperative.
Notwithstanding the wind has remained contrary, the ar-
rivals into this port since Tuesday contain a fair quantity of
Malt and Barley coastwise, a few cargoes of Oats from Ire-
land, and upwards of 9000 quarters of foreign Wheat,
chiefly from France and the Mediterranean.
The transactions in any free articles of the trade during
the same time have been light ; but having experienced re-
peated inquiries for bonded Wheats, several parcels on the
spot have found buyers, as well as one or two cargoes to ar-
rive, at prices somewhat higher than were previously obtain-
able.

Upon a very small number of country millers this morning,
and our local buyers still showing no disposition to increase
their stocks beyond their immediate requirements, the sales of
all descriptions of free Wheat were very moderate in amount,
at prices in some instances scarcely equal to, and in others ra-
ther under the rates of Tuesday.—Bonded Wheats, however,
continued to command attention, and several further opera-
tions having taken place, the sales within the last three days
comprise two parcels of French at 6s. Bd. to 6s. 9d., one of
Egyptain at ss. 3d., and one of hard Odessa at ss. 6d. per
albs. in granary ; with a cargo of Polish Odessa afloat at
465., and one of Ancona at 495. per quarter, including cost
on board and freight.
English, Irish, and foreign, duty-paid, Flour, having met
with but little notice, barely maintained our last quotations.
Barley, Beans, and Peae sold with little difficulty, and in
small quantities only realised their previous value ; Malt, on
the contrary, was in fair request, and fully as dear as of late.
Oats, being rather more plentiful, were offered freely and
were the turn cheaper; and Oatmeal, in the absence of
country demand, was somewhat depressed in value.

WAKEFIELD CO ,N MARKET, Aram IS,
. With the exception of Barley the arrivals of grain for this slaws
market are moderato. The finest samples of new and old Wheat
brought last week's prices with a good demand, other sorts dull
sale. The malting season being nearly over, Barley barely sup-
ported last week's prices. Beans, Oats and Shellings the turn
dearer with more inquiry. Peas neglected.
