LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 6

Our supplies, coastwise and from Ireland, received s'nce this
day week, are generally rather light; but from the continental
ports of Europe and the United States, together, we have to
note a fair import of Wheat, Barley, and Indian Corn, with a
further good supply of Flour from the latter source, and of
Beans from Egypt.
The entire ignorance which still prevails on the Corn question,
and the uncertain result to which the discussions :in Parliament
may lead, continue to keep the trade in compete suspense,
thus serving to interrupt any business of moment; at our mar-
ket this morning, therefore all kinds of free Wheat were in very
slow request, the best qualities at our last quotations, and infe-
rior descriptions at a decline of Id per 70 lb. Irish and Canadian
Flour, although difficult to sell, was nominally unaltered in
value. _ _

Barley extremely dull, and Is per qr cheaper. Beans, Pease,
and Indian Corn remain nearly the same as described in the
report of Friday.
Oats brought I d per bushel advance, but quite in retail, and
solely from absolute scarcity of supply. Oatmeal was held is
per load above the rates of this day week, owing to the more
unfavourable accounts of Potatoes in Ireland, but the rise
checking tha demand, few sales were effected.
Since Friday, 1000 barrels of States Flour in bond have been
taken at 295; and after market to.day, about 2500 qrs of Wheat,
under lock, were sold by auction, common Odessa at 5s ; od,
unsweet Wismar at 68 7d, and unsweet Stettin at Gs per 70 lb.
cargo of Indian Corn floating, is also reported to have changed
hands at 32s per qr, including c Est, freight, &c.

CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY 9.

The duties have advanced this week on Foreign Barley to 6s,
on Oats to as, and on Rye to Ss 6d per quarter.
We have a mcderate fresh arrival of Wheat, with a fair quan-
tity of Flour and Oatmeal, from Ireland; the Coastwise receipts
are again trivial, and nearly all the Canadian supplies are in for
the season : a few thousand qrs. of Wheat and Beans, and 2605
barrels of Flour comprise the chief imports from Foreign coun-
tries during the past three days.
The trade here since Tuesday has shown little variation ; and
although millers and dealers are run almost bare of stock, they
seem resolved to work as close as possible until satisfied as to
the future course of events; the question of the Corn Laws
once determed, may possibly lead to a more extended demand.
Having, at this day's market, an unusually slender attendawe
of buyeni, the trade for all descriptions of Engli,h, Irish and
Foreign free Wheat was exceedingly dull, although offered at a
decline of Id to 2d per 751 b ; the millers with very few excep-
tions, continuing resolutely on the reserve. Bonded Wheat at
the same time appearing to be wholly neglected. Sack and
Canadian Flour also, being very unsaleable, each was nomi-
nally cheaper : whilst good fresh brands of States under lock
were held at late prices.

Barley, Beans, Pease and Indian Corn, seemed to meet little
or no attention, and if sales had been effected, rather lower
terms must have been conceded.

Oats, from continued scarcity, were the turn dearer, good

meal, upon a limited retail demand, remained unaltered in
