LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Nov. 30.
We have this week again to report large arrivals of Irish Oats
and Oatmeal, amounting to upwards of 16,500 quarters and 7500
loads respectively of the -ether descriptions of British Grain and
Flour the imports have been moderate. From abroad we have re-
ceived 5000 quarters of Wheat, 150 a qrs. of Oats, 800 qrs. of Peas,
and 19,305 brls. of Flour, the latter from the United States. From
Thursday, the 21st instant, (when 12,600 barrels of Flour were re-
leased from bond,) to yesterday, the duty on Wheat was 2.0 s sd,
but then again declined to 18s 8d per,quarter. Though the trade
has not been of an active kind, there has, on the whole, been a
steady demand for old Wheat, embracing almost daily purchases
for shipment to Ireland, and our last quotations are quite sustained.
Irish new, from its inferior quality, has been offered at 6s Gd to
8s 3d per 70Ibs. with little effect as to sales. American Flour, has
sold, free, at 41s to 425. and a parcel or two have changed hands,
in bond, at 29s 6d per barrel : home manufacture has met little in-
quiry : its value ranges front 458 to 62s per sack. The increased
supplies of Oats and Oatmeal have caused a little further depression
in these articles : 3s 7d to 3s 9id per 451bs. for Oats; and 34s to 35s
per load for Oatmeal may be taken as the present currency, and
the business in either has been to a very moderate extent. Malting
Barleyhas met only a limited demand at 45s to 47s : choice Cheva-
lier is held at 48s to 49s per quarter grinding parcels have gone
off at about late rates. Beans and Pease are unaltered in value.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 2.
There is nothing of novelty to notice in our Butter market,
. .

which, we regret to say, continues extremely "fiat ;"—the quality
of a great portion of the stock on hand being "stale,— and" the
trade altogether " unprofitable." A revival is not generally an-
ticipated until Christen is has turned 3—although this is the period
when speculators usually operate,—in ordinary times. The asking
price for pickled Butter is 83s. We, however, incline to think that
the even money would not be refused. Beef, Pork, and Bacon are
nominally as last quoted We may generally remark that the offer
of a cash payment for any article in the trade, has such a talismanic
effect upon sellers, that we should scarcely think ourselves safe in
quoting it.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 2.
The supply of Beasts at: our market to-day has been much the
same as last week, prime Beef was scarce, and in demand at sid
to 6d, second quality aid, but for inferior Beasts tile trade was dull
at sd, and at the close of the day a large number was turned out
unsold. The number of Sheep was considerably larger than last
market day; for prime Wet4ters, of which there 'e cut a great scarcity;
the trade was very brisk, at an advance from cur last quotations,
say 7d, and mostly all sold oft early in the morning, For inferior
Wct lers and Ewes last week's prices were fully supported, say 6d
to did. and at the close of the day the Sheep were mostly sold off.
