the winner of the late steeple chase at Aintree, will, of itself
be almost a sufficient inducement to many to become put

chasers of the number. His performances are given in a well

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tnis DAY

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

An advance to 183 3d per qr. on foreign Rye constitutes
the sole difference in the import duties from those of last

Of English and Irish produce, the arrivals into this port,

since those specified in our circular of Tuesday last, are al-

of Wheat from the south of Europe,: we have no Grain or

The corn trade here, during the last two days, has re-
mained in the same dull state as we have so frequently had
occasion to report for some time past; still, from the limited
supplies: received weekly of late, the stocks of the leading
articles of free produce, although apparently in slow request,
have been moving imperceptibly into consumption, and are
considerably reduced in amount.

At the opening of our market to-day the holders of Wheat
evinced rather more firmness, and somewhat higher prices
were required ; but upon a moderate attendance only of
buyers, and by no means a desire to purchase freely, the
transactions on the whole were limited, and no advance being
obtainable, the current rates of Tuesday remained unvaried.
Free Flour of all sorts continued to meet a slow demand
on the terms last noted.

In bond, a cargo of Roman Wheat at 6s 3d per 'Albs. and
1000 barrels of States Flour at 255, were disposed of.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease were saleable in small
parcels merely, and scarcely maintained their previous value.

Oats were little noticed to-day, but, from the short supply

at hand, supported former prices

Oatmeal continued to meet some inquiry for investment,
but although no sales for that purpose were reported this
morning, a moderate quantity was sold to consumers, and
the trade for this article exhibited a steady aspect at our last
quotations.
