LIVERPOOL MARKETS:

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 18:1G.

We continue to receive very limited supplies of Grain both,
coastwise and from Ireland, and have none since Tuesday from,
foreian ports Of Irish Flour,,,bowever,_the arrivals are re-,
peated to a moderate extent, and of Oatmeal the quantity fresh
in is liberal.

The millers and dealers having, purchased freely of late,
were extremely inactive this morning, and with more willing-
ness on the part of holders to effect sales. The Wheat trade,
exhibited a very dull aspect; most descriptions of old were
therefore offered at a decline of 2d to 3d per 701hs, and all new
samples were somewhat lower.—Flour in consequence met eery
little inquiry, and was nominally rather cheaper.
Prime Maltiag Barley, remaining scarce, may he considered
full as dear as last week, and grinding samples, upon a mode-
rate demand, maintained their: previous value. Malt. fin the
contrary, was less saleable, at Is. per quarter cheaper.—Beans
and Peas, although in very slow request, were held- at former
prices.

The Oat trade being exceedingly inanimate, we must note a
further reduction of id to Id per 451bs from the rpdtteed rates of
Tuesday, and Oatmeal was difficult of sale without submitting
to an abatement of 6d per 2401b5.

Iu Bonded Grain and Flour, the transactions since our last
report have been upon a very limited scale on the terms then
stated.
