Eagilish Markets.

Grais.—-Liverpool, April 30,--A leading

grain circular says :—The grain trade dur- ing the past week has been dull and lifeless, with almost an entire cessation of demand. The improving tendency recorded last week has entirely disappeared. A further de- cline of is per quarter is generally reperted at the principal markets on the limited amount of business practicable. Cargves off coast meet with a fair inquiry for home and continental destination at Is decline. Future arrivals are quite neglected. On the spot aud atthe neighboring markets since Tuesday the transactionsin whent have been of the merest retail character at 2d decline. Corn declined proportionately. To-day wheat epened witha more general inquiry, and more business was reported at a decline of 2d from Tuesday’s rates,with a steadier feeling at the close. Flour was un- changed and the transactions small. Corn was in fair request at 2d decline from Tues- days prices.
