LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.-YESTERDAY.

Sharp frosts have again given way to a damp and equally
chilly atmosphere, and the condition of new WHEATS in
the agricultural districts, so much complained of since har-
vest, continues without improvement, while the estimate of
deficient yield and inferiority of quality appears to have
been rather under than over-rated; these objectionable cir-
cumstances may have contributed to the further decline in
many of the country markets this week, as regards home-
grown Wheat, whilst other descriptions have undergone but
little depression ; in the large importing markets, particu-
larly on this side of the kingdom, a continuance of greater
firmness is manifested ; and, as the report of the closure of
the Baltic ports is now confirmed, and that of the interior
navigation of America immediately expected, with scarcely
any old Wheat left in store at the former, and a much
smaller quantity. of Wheat and Flour than usual on the sea-
board of the latter, it seems not improbable that supplies
on the way from each direction, large as the'shipments may
have been for several consecutive weeks, will be met by a
good demand, more especially since millers, as long as causes
for depression seemed to exist, have withheld from opera-
tions of any magnitude as much as possible. The late de-
cline in Wheat and Flour in this market has already brought
forward buyers to some extent, chiefly for consumption ; the
quantity at hand of the former has facilitated, but the
limited stock offering of the latter has restricted, the trans-
actions of the past two days, though rather more money
would have been given. Hitherto the receipts of Wheat from
America have preponderated over those of Flour; for what
little may be shipped during the winter, the opposite propor-
tions will prevail.
We have a fair import of OATS and OATMEAL from Ire-
land, but, otherwise, the fresh arrivals of all articles are
quite insignificant. _ _

At our -Exchange this morning, there was a large attend-
ance of town and country buyers : an evident disposition
was shown to increase stocks, and an extensive business with
consumers has taken place in WHEATS, at an improvement
of ld to 2d per 701bs, over the currency of Tuesday last; a
number of parcels was also taken to hold over.
In FLOUR, likewise; a good deal has been done, 6d to 9d
per barrel advance being readily obtained, and buyers find-
ing difficulty in executing orders.
BARLEY, 13Eitics, and PEAS experienced. but a retail sale,
without apparent change in prices.
• OATS and OATHEAT dull, and rather cheaper.

.
INDIAN CORN iu fair demand for feeding purposes at full
rates, and there is a speculative inquiry for the finer descrip-
tions of both yellow and white.
