LIVERPOCL CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 17

Owing to the continuance of strong east winds, we have not
had a single arrival of Wheat from any quarter since this day
week, excepting 51 qrs. Coastwise, and of other Grain thence, as
well as from Ireland, the supplies are extremely small; whilst
those fresh in from abroad comprise chiefly a moderate quantity
of Beans, Pease, and Indian Corn, with 10,654 barrels of Flour
from the United States.

The apparent steadiness in the trade for Wheat in London
yesterday, imparted a rather firma feeling to the holders of that
Grain at our market this morning, and refusing to submit to
any further decline, the transactions were upon a moderate
scale, at the reduced rates of Friday.—lrish and free barrel
Flour were in slow request, at the foregoing abatement : but of
Westerns, in bond, several thousand barrels changed hands to-
e:ay, at 3ns. for investment.
Barley and Malt ruled languid at our last quotations.—Beans
and Pease, also, were taken more sparingly than of late, each
scarcely maintaining former prices.
Oats, upon a very slack demand, remained unaltered in value.
—Oatmeal, though scarce, was near:y without inquiry, and
must be noted Is. per load cheaper.
Indian Corn on the spot, being now saleable in limited par-
cels only, has receded 3s. per quarter since this day week ; and
a few cargoes floating, of which bills of lading ate at hand, have
been contracted for to-day, cost freight and insurance included,
at 455. to 465. per quarter.
By the "Caledonia," which arrived here on Sunday morning,
advices from New York are to the 30th ultimo. A considerable
accession of Wheat and Flour was received during the preceding
fortnight, amounting to 230,600 bushels of the former, and of
the latter 180,000 barrels.

It is stated that liberal supplies of both articles, and also In.
dian Corn, would continue to be received until the end of the
month, when frost might be expected to interrupt the internal
navigation of the Northern States ; but as much of this stock
would be required for local consumption, as well as for the
Eastern States and France, extensive shipments to Great Britain
were not expected until the spring of next year; from the
Southern ports, and principally from New Orleans, however,
vessels during the winter were likely to be actively employed in
the transport of Grain and Flour to England.
At Montreal, on the 27th October, wheat was quoted ss. 6d.
to 6s. per 6(ilb, and Flour 335. to 355. per barrel, currency.
Freight to Liverpool on the former 12s. per quarter, and on the
latter ss.' 3d. to as. 9d. per barrel.—A good many vessels had
cleared, and a greater number was loading, but it was feared
several would not be comi leted before the navigation closed.

CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 20.
We have still very limited supplies of all produce Coastwise
and from Ireland. but have again to note a moderate import of
Flour from America, in addition to a few parcels of Indian Corn,
Pease, and Beans, from Europe.
The trade here has varied little from onr report of T

sales having been generally light to consumers, and no specu,
lative disposition apparent, except for Flour in bond, of which
several thousand barrels have changed hands rather under last

currency

Although at several country markets this week a slight ad-
vance is reported irr the value of Wheat, the d”inand for all de-
scriptions of that Grain, at our Corn Exchange to-day, was lan-
guid, the prices in some cases being equal to. and in others Id.
per 'jun, below our last quotations.—lrish Flour ; ppeared to be
wholly neglected, and free barrels upon a limited sale were the
turn cheaper; bonded Flour, however, continued to meet an
active inquiry, and about 10,000 barrels were taken for invest-
ment, Philadelphia and Baltimore commanding 295. to 2gs. 6d.,
and prime brands of Western 30s. per barrel.
Barley and Malt were held at late prices, which buyers refused
to pay, and consequently little or no business in either was ap-
parent.—Beans and Pease, being more difficult to sell, were ra-
ther depressed in value.—Oats arid Oatmeal, though in very li-
mited supply, were nearly without inquiry,the former receding
Id. per 41b., and the latter Is. per load.
s, I Of Indian Corn there wete several parcels fresh in, which, in

the absence of demand, were offered at a decline of 2s. to 3s.
per quarter, without promoting sales, and for some of the best
white now on passage from the States, 455. per quarter would
have been accepted.
