persons interested in Flour, brought to this mar

LIVERPOOL, May Ia.
The Corn market has been IN a depressed sit
uation since the beginning Of the month, and the
recent extensive arrivals, Which have much III
creased our stocks Of Wheat and Flour, have &C.
casioned decided decline in the value. Wheat
has been sold at from Cd per bn. and Ameri.
can Flour at "a SIS per br.. below our former quo
taions OF the latter article, the chief sales this
week are 1000 to 1900 brls Philadelphia at So a
50 Cd; 1000 brIs Virginia at SIS, and about 5000
fresh n. Orleans at 32s I'd 35s per brl all duty
paid. The import here Of foreign Wheat since
the SOth ult is about $4,000 ours, and of Flour
about SO, 900 brls. The stock in this port on
a rough computation, is about 100 or 10000
qrs of wheat and $50 or l60, 600 brls OF Flour,
nearly the duty paid.
Contrary to almost universal expectation,
there is no alterations IN the duties for the ensu-
ing weeks, the aggregate average OF the past
six weeks being us per guar, on wheat-that OF
the week ending the 9th inst is 7Os Sd per our,
vet the average Tor tns port atone - ohly o9s ou
our. The reduced value of Flour is causing
a little more enquiry for that article, and we
make our quotations as high as .S5s Cd brl for
Western Canal. 1t is beyond doubt that an
increase of duty will take place in week hence;
mean time the delay is much in favour Of those
shipments whose arrival has been retarded by
easterly winds.

The sales of Cotton this day about 500 bales.
The market very fiat. We had a better demand
for almost all kinds of Gram in our market on
Tu .sday last than for some time before; but low
er prices were accepted. Several sales of n. Or
leans and Virginia Flour were made from S2a33s,
and small quantity at s6s6, duty paid. A con-
tinuation of cold weather, which has materially
checked the growth of the crops, has prevented
our going still lower in prices. The duty Oh

pectaton, remains the same as last week, name
