LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 26.
The severe frost experienced in the course of this month, and
last week the heaviest fall of snow remembered here for many
years past, having been succeeded by a thaw and change of
wind from the west, a considerable number of vessels have ar-
rived, furnishing for this day's market a most abundant supply
of Flour, a large quantity of Indian Corn and Meal, with several
thousand quarters of Wheat, &c., principally, from the Ame-
rican States, which, including the whole stock of foreign grain
produce under bond, by the act just passed, will be presently
admissable free of duty, as well as, future arrivals to the Ist of
September next. Within the week we have an increased
quantity of Wheat and Flour coastwise, while the Irish imports
are as previously, very much overbalanced by the exports.
There was a very large attendance of the trade this morning,
but no disposition apparent to purchase freely, and as holders
of Wheat and Flour were equally disinclined to make any material
concession in prices, the business actually done was to a very
limited amount ; the former must, therefore, be quoted 3d. per
701 b. under the duty paid currency, and the latter Is. per brl.
below the bonded rates of this day week.
Malt and Malting Barley dull sale, at 4s. to 55. per quarter,
and Grinding Barley at 3d. per ilolb reduction.
Beans and Peas unaltered in Value. Several cargoes of
Egyptian Beans, and one or two afloat, have been sold in the
last few days at rather more money.
Oats and Oatmeal exceedingly scarce, and bring readily the
advance of Friday.
Indian Corn was less

CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 29.
In addition to the large imports noted on Tuesday last? the
arrivals of Flour and Indian Corn from the States are again to
a liberal extent, and we have some farther supplies of Wheat
thence as well as from European ports, but little else from any
other quarter.
Since our first report this week the.aspect of the trade has
xather improved, particularly for Flour, the large arrivals of
which had reduced prices below their relative proportion, and
the parcels offered at 40s. having been cleared off, higher rates
have since been paid.
Of the leading articles at our market this morning, there was
a good display of samples, and upon a moderate attendance
only of country millers, the sales. of Wheat proceeded rather
slowly; at the same time, although the principal ho:ders were
mostly firm, a decline of Id. per 701 b. was in several instances
conceded.,--Irish Flour is extremely scarce, but of English we
have a tolerable supply,llhich moved sparingly at our last quo-
tations ; of American, some further parcels have been taken at
40s. Gd., and there are buyers upon a large scale at 40s. ; but
superior brands of western in granary, being held steadily at
418. per barrel, the operations at that price being limited to-
da.
•
Pending the uncertainty as to the quantity of Sugars likely
to be used in the breweries and distilleries, Barley and Malt
are neglected, and nominally lower in value.
Beans and Pease meeting somewhat less attention to-day,
barely suppoi•ted former priers.
In Oats and Oatmeal no variation.
Indian Corn not being disposed of so freely tso of late, wall
slightly depressed iw
