LIVERPOOL.—FEB. 25.
The change to milder weather noticed in our last has
been followed by a temporary return of frost, but the latter
having again given way, we appear likely, at this late
period of the season, to have no further iiiterruption ;
the more favourable wind is bringing forward some of the
arrivals of American flour, of which a fair qiiantity is Its
ported to be now afloat for this place, besides a modern
amount of wheat shipments and a few small
Indian corn, also on the way : scarcely any of the anti"
cipated arrivals from the Mediterranean have as yet 61).
peered at Cork and Falmouth, and purchasers of such are,
keeping themselves completely in reserve for the choice .91
variety they will afford ; in the meantime our trade for
the last two days has continued inactive, and, had figleg
parcels of
been pressed, some decline must have been conceded
wheat and flour ; other markets of the country have beg,
more steadily supported than ours, and it appears genet.fhsdt
admitted, with the usual extensive consumption, """ f
stocks in the hands of manufacturers and dealers are
late working comparatively bare ; a moderate concesdoa,
on the part of sellers, would therefore, doubtless, iraPr
i°l:
confidence, and impart a renewal of considerable activ
to the trade. f r
At this day's market wo had a rather better demand .°,
wheat, but the transactions generally were in retail;

except for fresh parcels of red foreign, which are relative:l
scarce.—Flour was 3d. per barrel lower, which ilidue a
consumers to buy more freely.—Oats were neglected; Ted
the turn in favour of buyers ; oatmeal nominally linslte
in value.—The market is pretty well cleared of Egyp.y;
Beans, and an advance of Gs. per qr. established ; i 5
further purchases made to arrive here.—ln Indian
