LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, DECEMBER 9

There has been very little doing here for the last few days in con.
sequence of the attention of buyers being chiefly absorbed by the
sales now going on in London ; prices remain firm.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DECEMBER 8.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott $- Son.)
Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour, end Oatmeal
have been very moderate; but with the supplies of the preceding
week,. particularly of foreign Wheat, from London, which have
been pressing on the market, have greatly exceeded our regular
demand, and sales have been made to the millers and dealers to a
very moderate extent, at a decline, excepting on the very finest
foreign and English Wheat, of 2d to 3d per 70 lb, and several large
cargoes, under particular circumstances, are reported to have
changed hands, in a wholesale way, at still greater decline ; while
on every other article in the trade there has been little or no al-
teration in prices, though the demand has been very limited here
and in all our surrounding markets.
The weather has continued perfectly favourab:e for all agricultural
operations since the 3d week of November.
The duty on Wheat, from foreign ports, has increased since
Friday last to 25s Scl per quarter, and on Flour to 15s Sid per brl. ;
and it has also increased on Beaus to Is per quarter, and on Barley,
Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat, to 105 10d per quarter ; on other
Grain no alteration. Flour, in bond, continues in demand, for ex-
port and on speculation, at 248 6d to 25s 6d per barrel ; United
States and Canadian sweet and sour, free Flour has obtained a
small advance. The value of bonded Grain continues as if free,
deducting the duties.
At this day's market we have had a very good attendance of
millers and dealers, who bought to a fair extent of Wheat at about
the above noted decline. Flour free and in bond, fully supported
last quotations ; all other articles but dull, with little alteration in
value. Oatmeal was about 6d per 210 lb lower.
