LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 15

We contin•:e to have severe frost, and the wind adverse to ar.
rivals, our fresh supplies have consequently not been increased
in any material degree since the cl,se of the week.

This morning's market was well attended, and influenced by
the improved tone of the trade throughout the country, and the
advance in Mark Lane yesterday, we had a very spirited end ex.
tensive sale of Wheats of all descriptions, to milers and specu-
lators, as well as for Ire' nd, at an amendment of fd. per 701 b.
generally, and in some instances more, above the rates of this
day se'nnight, the extreme advance applying chiefly to the best
d scriptions.— Large purchases of Flour in bond, have also
been made at an improvement of 3s. per barrel, and duty paid
parcels have acquired nearly a similar advance, though not in
very active request.
Upon a moderate sale we note Oats 3d. per 4511), Barley 3d to
4d per 6 Ib. Beans is to 2s. per quarter, and Oatmeal 2s to 3s.
per load dearer than on Tuesday last.
Indian Corn, of which scarcely any remains on hand. brings
our extreme quotations; not many floating cargoes offering for
sale.

CORN EXCHANGE, DEc. 18

The wind has not varied since our last, and except for a few
hours, the frost has coutinued with unabated severity ; several
American sh ps have, however, worked up with a fair quantity
of Wheat, Indian Corn, and Flour, but from all other quarters
we are almost wholly without fresh arrivals.

During the past two days increasing firmness has character-
ized the trade generally, and a large business has been repeated
in the leading articles, both for consumption and on specula.
tion, at still improving rates. The country advices all come
higher.
This morni, g's market opened with much firmness on the
part of holders but was not numerously attended; still, a con.
siderable quantity of Wheat bound purchasers, much of it for
Ireland, at ! rices about :-,cl per bushel over those of Tuesday
last —Free Flour w s 6el per barrel dearer, but not active sale.
Malting Barley must be noted is per (unter, and Grinding
parcels 3d to 4d per 601 b higher, with scarcely any remaining
unsold.—Beans and Pease were held 2s to 3s per quarter beyond
our 1.-t currency, and floating cargoes of the former in request.
—Oats commanded an advance of 2d per 451 b., and Oatmeal of
Id to 2d per load, and for each a steady sale was experienced.—
Of Indian Corn the market is nearly bare. and still higher rtes
have been obtained for the little on sale here.
Bonded Flour, of which some considerable sales have been
made during the week, up to 36s 6d. again receded to 36s 6d.
to-day, at which rate a few thousand barrels changed hands.
