LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—Tins DAY

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

The receipts

ii and Flour into this port sine

gain tolerably

both Coastwise and

Tuesday last have been unusually small
from Ireland, but of Oatmeal the supply is
abundant. Of Foreign Wheat, exclusively from the south
of Europe, the arrivals consist of 13,010 quarters ; those
from the American States comprising chiefly 500 quarters of
Rye and 8418 barrels of Flour.

Uncertain as to the effect which maylbe produced by the
Corn Bill now before the Legislature, but with the probabi-
lity of its coming into early operation, and having at the
same time no impulse whatever from the other markets of
the- kingdom to enliven the trade here, speculative buyers
appear to remain very inactive ; and our millers and dealers, ex-
cept from mere necessity, continued to buy with extreme cau-
tion ; induced, however, by the holders of Irish and foreign
Wheat receding 21 to 3d per 701bs from our quotations of
last week, sales of these descriptions were effected to a mo-
derate extent to-day at that abatement ; whilst English, of
which we have little offering, remained unaltered in value.—
Of soft Polish Odessa Wheat about 2000 qrs were sold last
week, to arrive, at 46s per qr, including cost, freight, and

insurance,

English and Irish Flour must be noted is per sack cheaper,
and foreign, duty paid, dull of sale at the decline above
stated.

Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, being without inquiry,
were little more than nominal in value to-day.
Oats remained in slow request at a decline of id per.4s
lbs ; and Oatmeal, although rather more salaable to con-
sumers, scarcely maintained the reduced rates of Friday.
