LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY. 1

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

Upon Foreign Wheat the duty is reduced to 275. Bd. per
quarter, on Flour to 16s. ild. per barrel, and increased on
Pease to 245. 3d. per quarter, being the only change in the
import rates from those last noted.
Of English, Irish, and Foreign produce, the arrivals fresh
in for to-day are altogether-inconsiderable, as will be ob-
served on reference to the particulars subjoined.

The New Corn Bill, requiring the royal assent, continues
to hold the trade in suspense, and tending to delay all active
business, no transactions, at all deserving remark, have oc-
curred during the intermediate period from onr report of
Tuesday last up to the present date.
The general character of the trade this morning was main-
ly a counterpart of that contained in the preceding report ;
all descriptions of free Wheats being very difficult to sell ;
even the best qualities scarcely retaining our last quotations,
whilst other kinds were the turn cheaper. English, Irish
and foreign duty paid Flour likewise continued to meet a
slow lingering sale, but without any material change in value.
The bonded market being equally dull, a few hundred bar-
rels of States Flour at 28s. per brl., and about 200 qrs. of
Ancona Wheat at 6s. 11d. per 70Ibs. on the spot, forming
the only transactions in this branch of the trade since
Tuesday.

Upon a limited supply of Barley at hand, that article, as
well as Malt, supported late prices.

. . _
Beans and Pease, attracting very little notice, barely main-
tained our last currency. _

Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of country demand,
were taken off very sparingly, and had sales been pressed,
rather lower terms must have been conceded.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, 3 P.M

Only a very moderate enquiry for Cotton in our market
to-day. The sales are not likely to exceed 3,000 bales of all
descriptions. The sales of the week are comparatively small,
say 19,990 bales, of which speculators have taken 2,000
American, and exporters 1700 of various descriptions. As
regards prices, we consider the lower descriptions of Ameri-
can Cotton id. down since this day week, whilst the better
classes, and also Brazils, are more enquired for, and fully
maintain previous rates. The public sale of Sea Islands was
thinly attended, and few sold, at a decline upon previous
business by private.
