Mr. Robert Proctor, the broker, apPcnds to the
above, the following further remarks:
The total quantity OF Indian Meal received mere
since its introduction, about eighteen months ago. up
to the 3lst ut, amounts to Al 7>4 barrels, and there
have been exported to Ireland during the same pc
riod 2l9 92S barrels This article has proved 10 be
a valuable addition to the food Of our country, the
consumption of it having greatly extended amongst
the laborng classes; it has not yet, however been
so generally used appreciated as deserves TO be-
Notwithstanding the importation Of -OO,ODO qrS Of
Wheat. .53l 900 brls of Flour and ,243, 100 qrs.
of Indian Corn, besides other articles OF the trade,
within the last fifteen months a. exhibited IN the
above statement, we have experienced correspond
ingly large sale; and all has been absorbed by sup
plying the wants of the vast population with which
we are surrounded. There has always existed a DIT
fculty in ascertanng with accuracy the st0cLs held
here but, after the most careful inquiry, believe
the following to be fair approximation at the pre-
sent time:-

OF Barley, Beans Peas and Oats, the quantities are
insignificant, and altogether will probably not exceed
30 900 quarters. There is scarcely any sack Flour
or Oatmeal in warehouse, nearly the whole having
found buyers on arrival. By far the greater proper
ton of the Wheat is of the lower description, and Of
the Flour it is considered that hreeourths Will be
sour, or partially So The present value Of choice
Western Canal Flour is 3ls per barrel, the best red
and white English and American Wheat IS worth is.

At the corresponding period of last year the stocks
held in Liverpool estimated at l3DOOO quarters
of Wheat and 4I0, 900 barrels Of Flour, while we
had but little in store Of either Indian Corn or Corn
Meal. The current rates at the same time were as
to 42s. per barrel for Western Canal Flour, lis 10
lis Cd per 10 lbs. for the best red and white Eng
lish and American Wheat 70s per quarter for Indian
Corn, and 34s. per barrel for Indian Meal
The foreign supplies, within the next two or three
months are likely 10 be but SMALL for OF Grain, &c,
now floating and destined for British markets, onya
few cargoes, comparatively, of Wheat and Indian
Corn are understood TO be on the way from the Black
Sea and Mediterranean ports: OF Beans, from Alex
andria there are about 100000 quarters
