LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Tats DAY

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

The averages this week make no alteration in the duties on
either of foreign or colonial produce.

any article

A few parcels of Wheat and Oats, with a good supply of
Oatmeal and a moderate quantity of Flour, have arrived
from Ireland since Tuesday, mostly by steamers; but the
wind remaining contrary, no foreign ships are reported, and
from Canada unly one vessel with 2831 barrels of Flour.

The weather continuing as favourable as possible for al-
agricultural pursuits, and the soil in admirable order for the
reception of the seed, the farmers around us are actively en-
gaged in securing the Potato crop, and in autumn tillage
generally ; accounting mainly for the scanty deliveries of
new Grain from our home growers since harvest, and in
some measure to a reluctance on their part to accept the
present rate of prices : ere long, however, the supply from
them may be expected to increase, and in the interim we
may observe, that the samples of new Wheat, occasionally
brought forward, have proved of superior quality, and, with
few exceptions, in excellent condition. Similar remarks are
applicable to much Wheat of this year's growth from Ireland,
and an extension of supply thence is consequently anticipated.

The transactions in the Corn trade, during the last two
days, have been very limited in amount, but generally with

out any perceptible change in prices

At our market this morning, upon a middling attendance
of town and country millers, holders of foreign Wheat

evinced a tolerable degree of firmness, and effected sales of
most descriptions to a moderate extent, at or nearly the
rates previously noted. Irish Wheats, on the contrary, were
much more difficult to sell than of late, and with some further

arrivals to-day, not in time to appear in our import note
subjoined, prices declined 2d to 3d per 701bs. English new
Wheats may also be considered rather cheaper.
States and Canadian Flour, moving off a little more freely,
realised an advance of 6d. per barrel ; but borne-made and
Irish, with the prospect of better supplies, were Is. per sack

Barley and Malt remained in precisely the same state as on
Tuesday ; whilst Beans and Pease were scarcely noticed, and
receded in value is per quarter.

MARKET—THaEz O'CLOCK

The demand has again been better to-day, and fully 4,000
bales have been sold at yesterday's prices. The sales of the
week amount to 16,490 bales, of which 2,500 are on specula-
tion account, and 700 for export. Prices generally about /
per lb. lower this week, and at this decline the market closes
quietly.
