LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 10.
The importers continue to ask advancing prices for Butter, and
to a fair extent realize the same. There is not much doing in
pickled Butter, and gas is still the currency. Barreled Provisions
present no feature worthy of attention. Bacon is held with much
steadiness, and the trade is expected to be good.

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, and 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 favourable for all agricultural
operations since the 3d week of November.
The duty on Wheat, from foreign ports, has increased since
Friday last to 255 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 15s 54d per brl. ;
and it has also increased on Beans to Is per quarter, and on Barley,
Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat, to 10s led per quarter; on other
Grain no alteration. Flour, in bond, continues in demand, for ex-
port and on speculation, at 24s 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 Gd per 240 lb lower.
