LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 28

- -
The supplies fresh up to this morning's market are moderate of
all kinds of English grain. The arrival of Foreign Wheat is up-
wards of 26,000 quarters. The finest samples of Wheat realize Is
advance on the prices of this day week, but other sorts are without
any variation. Barley is a slow sale unless for fine descriptions.
The total supply of English, Scotch, and Foreign Oats consists of
31,0110 quartets. Oats are 6d to is cheaper. Beans or Peas no
alteration. Flour is a very dull sale. Seeds of all kinds continue
in moderate demand, and late quotations....

WEDNESDAY

March 2,

The business this morning has been on the most limited scale,
and the attendance confined to a few retail dealers, whose pur-
chases have been nominally at the rates of Monday last. The
stock of Irish Oats is large, and this article is not firm at former
prices. The samples of English Wheat are inferior, and the free
bonded being almost' all consumed, the small quantity iu the
market is held at excessive rates.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATO MARKET,
March 3.

There is a heavy arrival of Potatoes in Dock, for which there Is
a dull sale both to our retail town trade, and dealers from the
interior, at prices ranging from Is lid to 2s Id per golb. for Cup
descriptions. Our local markets are very liberally supplied by our
neighbouring farmers with all deseriptions of agricultural pro-
duce, and for which they experience a good demand.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 1.
We have this week an import of several thousand quarters
of Wheat, with continued good arrivals of Oatmeal, from
Ireland ; but of other articles thence, or of anything coast-
wise, the receipts are still moderate. The supplies of Wheat
from abroad exceed 20,000 quarters. We have also to notice
from the United States upwards of 2,000 qrs. Indian Corn,
with 2,000 barrels Flour ; and many further parcels of the
latter are shortly expected.
The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oat-
meal, computed to remain in Liverpool on the 28th Febru-
ary, 1842 :—Wheat, in bond 138,139 qrs., free 110,000 qrs. ;
Barley, in bond 10,371 qrs., free 8,000 qrs. ; Oats, in bond
14,431 qrs., free 20,000 qrs. ; Rye, in bond qrs., free 600
qrs. ; Beans, in bond 19,590 qrs., free 28,000 qrs. ; Pease,
in bond 6,837 qrs., free 10,000 qrs. ; Flour, in bond 90,793
barrels, free 55,000 barrels and 12,000 sacks ; Oatmeal, free
85,000 loads.
Our market to-day being tolerably well attended by town
and country mille'rs, the demand for Wheat was somewhat
improved, and holders, generally shewing a disposition to
sell, submitted to an abatement from the rates of this day
week of Id. for the best qualities of English, Irish, and fo-
reign, and 2d. per 701bs. for other descriptions, at which a
moderately fair extent of business was transacted.
Home-made and Irish Flour was held at late prices, but
moved off slowly, States brands merely sustaining the de-
cline of Friday. Bonded Wheat and Flour continue to re-
main unnoticed.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, upon a very dull sale,
still exhibited a tendency to recede in value, the terms pre-
viously noted being scarcely attainable.
Oats, attended by a very limited sale, were Id per 451bs
cheaper than on this day se'nnight ; and Oatmeal being
offered freely at 24s to 255, reduces our quotations 2s per
2401bs below those of that date.
